Fire Prevention

The Fire Prevention Bureau is an important part of the fire service. Our job is to prevent fires and mitigate emergencies before they happen. We do this through education, inspections and investigations.

Due to our lack of staff The Immokalee Fire Control District has an Interlocal agreement with North Collier Fire and Rescue District to handle Fire Inspections for The District.
