Fire Prevention & Review Services include ongoing fire inspections, plan reviews and participation in Technical Review Team (TRT) site plan evaluations, which support safe development and code compliance throughout the community.
The department implemented new technologies to improve response effectiveness and firefighter safety, including a Fire Arriving Alerting System, electric vehicle fire blankets, advanced thermal imaging cameras (Attack Pro Series) and a dedicated Fire Safety Unit.
Marine 1 Unit
Call Volume Analytics
Marine 1 was added to the DBFD fleet in January 2025, immediately after it was added, three department members completed the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) Fire Boat Operator Course in St. Augustine. These vessel operators (VO) trained with other departments from across the state to learn vital skills and bring them back to teach additional personnel to become VOs. The 40-hour class covered search and rescue operations, patient care in the water, fire suppression and additional topics.
Public safety call volume has steadily increased in recent years, reflecting both population growth and expanded service demand across the city. Total calls for service rose from 21,284 in 2021 to 23,664 in 2025, representing an increase of approximately 11%. This upward trend highlights the continued need for investment in staffing, equipment and response capabilities to maintain service levels and ensure timely emergency response as the community grows.
