Gulf Breeze Fire Department

Welcome to the Gulf Breeze Fire Department, proudly serving the community from our location at 315 Fairpoint Drive, Gulf Breeze, Florida 32561. As a dedicated fire station, we are committed to providing the best possible service to our residents and visitors, extending our expertise to outlying areas through pre-arranged mutual aid agreements. Whether faced with fires, man-made disasters, or medical emergencies, our team responds promptly, safely, and courteously.

Our department is powered by a passionate group of 20 volunteer firefighters, emphasizing community involvement and service. Becoming a volunteer firefighter offers a rewarding opportunity to give back to your community. Additionally, we host a junior firefighters program, offering high school students unique exposure and experience, particularly for those interested in pursuing a career at the firefighters academy. For more information, please contact Fire Marshal David Jordan at 850-934-5100.

Since our incorporation as a non-profit organization in October 1955, the Gulf Breeze Volunteer Fire Department has grown significantly. After purchasing our first fire truck in 1957, the need for a dedicated facility became apparent, leading to the construction of our original fire station. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Millard Gilmore, we secured the property where our station stands today. Our facility now spans approximately 9,000 square feet, accommodating two engines, a ladder truck, and a fire rescue boat.

In 2005, a new fire station was constructed at the same Fairpoint Drive location, reflecting our ongoing commitment to modernize and improve our services. The proximity of the police station, currently under construction on the same campus, highlights our integrated approach to community safety. Over the past 60 years, many Gulf Breeze police officers have also served as volunteer firefighters, underscoring our collaborative spirit and rapid response capabilities, especially critical in our peninsula city surrounded by bridges.

We invite community engagement and offer a Community Event Request Form, available on our website. To stay informed, you can receive real-time alerts and advisories from the Gulf Breeze Police Department by simply texting any zip code to 888777. Registration is free, though standard text messaging rates may apply. Opt-out anytime by texting "STOP" to 888777.

We are proud to serve Gulf Breeze and look forward to continuing our tradition of safety and community service.
