About the Palm Beach Country Fire-Rescue Department

The following text is a portion of an article on the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue department published in the Wikipedia, a free, online encyclopedia. To read the entire article, please follow this link.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was created on October 1, 1984, when the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution consolidating the existing fire districts in Palm Beach County.

Prior to 1984 the following fire districts were in existence, covering mostly unincorporated Palm Beach County:

• Jupiter-Tequesta
• Juno Beach
• Old Dixie
• Military Park
• Southwest
• Trail Park
• Reservation
• Del Trail
• Canal Point
• Palm Beach International Airport

These departments consolidated, under the leadership of Chief Herman Brice, into Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Most of the incorporated cities, unless they were under a contract with a fire district, retained their own departments.
