Tomorrow morning (Saturday May 16) we will be conducting a training operation with our sister department Miccosukee Fire Rescue and partner the City of Tallahassee Fire Department. You may see our tankers driving from Chiles High School to one of the many plantations in our service district North on Thomasville Road (US 319).

We are working to better improve our interoperability and improve our service to you by conducting a tender-shuttle training for areas not serviced by fire hydrants.

Please be mindful and patient if you are driving through the area. The road will be placarded with signs indicating "Trucks entering and leaving highway."
