The fast action and teamwork of 14 units helped keep a structure fire from spreading today in the 300 block of Pine Run Drive in Osprey. 🚒

Sarasota County Fire Department crews responded quickly and brought the fire under control within 15 minutes, preventing it from spreading to nearby units. No evacuations, civilian injuries, or transports were reported, and resources are available for those impacted.

Thank you to our firefighters and emergency responders for their dedication to keeping our community safe.

Most flood fatalities occur in vehicles, and it only takes 12 inches of water to sweep a car away.

During a flood, small decisions like turning around and not driving through a flooded roadway, not driving around barricades, and delaying travel until conditions improve, can make a big impact.

At the beach, remaining vigilant and knowing when to speak up can save someone’s life.

If you meet someone from out of town, let them know about the dangers of rip currents and other beach hazards.

If someone is waving or yelling for you: don’t panic and alert a lifeguard. While help is coming, see if there’s a floatation device you can throw to them. Don’t attempt a rescue on your own.
