Public Information

Fire Engine/Ambulance Demo (Touch a Truck) Children and adults can take a tour around a fire engine and/or ambulance. Firefighters will explain the equipment and tools carried on the trucks. Citizens will also learn how the equipment might be used in various types of emergencies. Please keep in mind that the trucks and personnel are in service and could be late to your event or have to respond to an emergency incident. When planning the logistics of your event, please plan for the fire engine/ambulance and personnel to have easy and safe access in and out of the venue.

Social Media The St. Lucie County Fire District is on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Today, there is no quicker way to get important information to the public than through the social media platforms. The fire district uses social media to inform the public, promote available resources and share critical information.

Spot the Dot (in the car) The yellow dot program is a driver-safety initiative that provides first responders with vital information about motorists who have been involved in a MVC and are unresponsive or nonverbal.

Medical Information Envelope (at home) This envelope filled with your important medical information is designed to speak for you when you can't speak for yourself in the case of an emergency. It is recommended that everyone—but especially senior citizens—keep one of these envelopes with the completed form inside on their refrigerator.  The envelope, which you place on your refrigerator, contains important medical information that can assist emergency personnel in administering the proper medical treatment.

ICE (on your phone) As we are usually carrying them, phones can be a valuable tool in an emergency. If you get into an accident or are unable to communicate, you want those closest to you to know what is going on and to have a way for first responders to locate vital information about you. Fortunately, most of today’s smartphones come with a feature that allows your ICE (In Case of Emergency) data, including emergency contacts and important medical information, to be accessed from your phone’s lock screen. This means your emergency information can be viewed without anyone gaining access to your phone’s secured files.

American Heart Association (AHA) Family & Friends CPR®  Family & Friends CPR class is a non-certifying/non-credential course. This 2-hr course is designed to teach the basics of CPR and using an AED so anyone can help save a life! HOAs, small business/groups, or other organizations with a minimum of 10 participants (max of 20) are offered on Fridays 09:00 - 02:30.  The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the AHA.
