St. Lucie County Fire District, St. Lucie County, Florida

A MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE CHIEF

Welcome to the St. Lucie County Fire District website. I hope you take time to explore this site and learn more about your Fire District. Fire Chief Ron Parrish

The SLCFD recently received Metro status. This means we have grown from a small department to one that is now comparable to any major city fire department. We are one of the top ten largest fire departments in Florida. The Metro designation makes us eligible to participate in the National Metro Fire Chief's Association, which addresses issues which impact larger departments. In addition, often the State of Florida will contact Metro fire departments to assist in problems which affect the entire state.

As we look to the future we continue to make progress and keep the Fire Department responsive and strong. It is an organization built on integrity, fortitude, and professionalism.

In the coming years the SLCFD family will have growing pains. We will face the challenges of any organization as it expands. With that in mind, I want all of you to know that keeping the "family" feel in the Fire District is very important to me. As our motto says, this is "our family serving yours."
