The Daytona Beach Fire Department continues to strengthen community safety through a combination of public education, enhanced emergency response capabilities and ongoing investment in personnel, facilities and technology.
Public Safety Fire Department
Community Outreach & Education The department actively engaged residents through fire safety demonstrations, smoke alarm installations, fire extinguisher training and hands-only CPR instruction. Additional efforts included fire safety presentations, fire drill observations and participation in community events, all aimed at increasing awareness and preparedness across the city. Facilities, Infrastructure & Equipment To address increased call volume associated with city growth, additional rescue trucks have been placed into full-time service, improving response coverage in central and west Daytona Beach. The department also celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Fire Station 1 Headquarters in November 2024, with completion anticipated in summer of 2026. This facility will enhance operational efficiency and long-term service capacity. Training & Professional Development Fire personnel continued to advance their expertise through specialized training programs, including Rope Operations/Technician, Vehicle Machinery Rescue, Truck Operations, Confined Space Rescue and Surface Water Rescue. These efforts ensure readiness for a wide range of emergency scenarios.
