Our Bureau Dedicated to Fire Prevention and Safety

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 & Rescue District to handle Fire Inspections for The District.

Why is Fire Prevention Important?

Statistics from the Fire Protection Research Foundation indicate that communities with an aggressive fire prevention program are likely to be involved in 75% less structure fires, 90% less injuries, and 70% less property damage.It is clear that fire suppression activities are not the only way to combat fires: a well-planned and executed fire prevention and inspection program is a less expensive and more effective way to accomplish the goal of the fire service.Our goal is to minimize the risk of life and property loss from fire by controlling and eliminating hazardous conditions combined with a proactive public education program before a fire occurs.

Smoke Alarms... A sound you can live with.

A working smoke alarm can detect a small fire and provide crucial minutes necessary to prevent a tragedy from occurring in your home. Approximately 90% of all homes have at least one smoke alarm. However, surveys show that 20% do not work because the battery is either dead or missing.

Fire deaths are most commone in the age groups of 0-5 and 65 and older.

Careless smoking is the number one cause of home fire deaths.
Most home fires occur during sleeping hours. (11 PM - 6 AM)
