Estero Fire Rescue Information

In the last 5 years, Estero Fire Rescue has grown with the community and continues to do so. By the end of the year, forty-eight first responders will staff the 4 stations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. About half of them are firefighter/paramedics with many more currently enrolled in paramedic school. These men and women will operate 5 ALS equipped fire engines, all purchased in the last 3 years. In addition, the process has started for the construction of a new administration building adjacent to the Three Oaks fire station. Just as Estero is rapidly becoming the 'Jewel' of Southwest Florida communities, Estero Fire Rescue is being recognized as one of the leading first responder services in the region, providing the best pre-hospital care available. All staff members share the goal of arriving at 90% of the calls in 4 minutes or less, and offering the best service possible to those in need. Their skills are sharpened through constant training, from the study of complex medical procedures to physically taxing fire and rescue drills. Estero Fire Rescue also believes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That is why the District maintains a team of Fire Inspectors, a Plans Examiner and a Public Education Manager. This group of professionals strives to make our lives and community safer every day, through inspections and innovative safety programs. The future looks bright for Estero and Estero Fire Rescue, and, while we celebrate the rich past of our community, we believe that the future will be even better. Estero Fire Rescue remains committed to providing the highest quality service to the people of Estero in the years ahead.
