Tomorrow, join us at Veterans Memorial Park to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

The morning begins at 9:00 AM with Heroes’ Avenue, an interactive experience for all ages. Guests can connect with local veterans and first responders while viewing restored military vehicles and modern emergency equipment. The event will also feature insights into America’s upcoming 250th Birthday and a historical presentation by the Sallie Harrison chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

At 10:00 AM, we will transition into our Formal Remembrance Ceremony, led by Master of Ceremonies Joey Cote and featuring guest speaker Captain Dan Sinclair.

Let’s come together to ensure the legacy of our heroes is never forgotten.

🚒🚑 More Than Fighting Fires: It’s National EMS Week! 🚑🚒Did you know that the vast majority of calls answered by your Sanford Fire Department are actually medical emergencies? Out of over 13,600 calls for service annually, more than 8,200 are Rescue and EMS responses with more than 6,000 transports to area hospitals!

When you see our units rushing to a scene, our cross-trained firefighter-paramedics and EMTs are bringing advanced lifesaving emergency room care directly to your doorstep.

This year’s national theme is "Improving Outcomes, Together." Our team works every day to improve long-term health outcomes right in our neighborhoods through our dedicated Community Paramedicine Program, helping residents stay safe and healthy at home.

From Historic Downtown to the Airport Boulevard corridor and all across Celery City, we are proud to serve you 24/7/365. Join us this week in dropping a note of appreciation for our incredible EMS crews in the comments below! 👇❤️

🌀 Hurricane season is almost here!

This hurricane season, never let your gas tanks get below 50% fuel/charge so you're able to evacuate if needed & won't get stuck without fuel or in long gas station lines.
