OCTOBER IS FIRE PREVENTION MONTH !

It's that time of year again, when fire departments around the country make an extra special effort to educate the public on fire prevention. 

The Rockledge Professional Firefighters take great pride in providing the best possible educational experiences for school children of all ages, as well as adults, to maximize safety and survivability in a fire emergency.   

If you would like one of our engine crews to come to your school, work place, or other public venue for a presentation on fire prevention and education, feel free to contact us. 

Call 321-690-3968 and speak to our senior staff assistant, Lori Matson to arrange a time and place.

We'll see you there!

August is Drowning Impact Awareness Month

Water safety is especially important for us locally, both as a community and as a state.  Here in Florida families can enjoy boating, swimming, the beach and more year round, plus there are bodies of water, canals and swimming pools everywhere.

Did you know that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2005-2009, there were an average of 3,533 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about 10 deaths per day.  (src. IaffOnline)
