Bulk Item: Yes -L No
Division: Public Safety
Department: Fire-Rescue
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Redirect the Fire Rescue Office to not place two firefighters into the Key
Largo Fire Department operation
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissioners, through adoption of the
proposal for a consolidated emergency services system in August 1997 and subsequent funding,
has directed the Fire Rescue Office to place two firefighters into the Key Largo Fire Department
operation. The Fire Rescue Office has reviewed the delivery of service by the department to its
community for the past three months. The department has responded to each and every alarm in a
respectable time for a volunteer department. The implementation of two paid firefighters into
their operation would not dramatically effect the level of service to the community. It appears
that the community is satisfied with the level of service and the response times reflect a
functioning volunteer department.
