Motto: Service doesn’t come from a manual—it comes from the heart. It is with great pleasure that I present the Titusville Fire and Emergency Services Department’s 2009 Annual Report. This report provides an overview of the services that our department provides and identifies our accomplishments over the past year. As you will see we have not been just a “fire” department for a number of years. We are an all hazards emergency department that responds to medical calls, vehicle accidents, water emergencies as well as other types of emergency and non-emergency calls for service. It is our goal to help our community stay safe and help our citizens during their time of need. We understand the difficulty of these hard economic times as we also struggle to provide the necessary services with dwindling funds. However, we will continue to do the best that we can to serve you with the resources we are provided. We continually look for ways to obtain alternative funding to help offset the cost of our services or partner with others in the community. Partnerships allow us to provide services to the community that we would otherwise not be able to provide. Many of these programs are proactive to better ensure our community’s safety by providing injury prevention and fire prevention instruction, child safety seat installations and CPR classes. We provide Vials of Life, bicycle helmets, child safety seats, carbon monoxide and smoke detector installations to those in need. Our community volunteer program also assists the department in meeting many of our dayto-day office activities. Without their contributions, we would not be able to provide the support we do at fire headquarters. Our fire prevention division does a wonderful job of ensuring our business community remains vigilant in their fire safety practices. The division also monitors new construction and commercial alterations to ensure compliance with all fire codes. Their diligence protects both our firefighters and citizens from the detrimental impacts of fires, with little support from ad valorem taxes. One does not fully understand all of the detrimental effects of a fire, a motor vehicle crash with injuries, or a major medical event until they experience it for themselves. It is our hope that you will never need our services but, in the event that you do, we pledge to provide you with the best services available for your emergency situation. In your service, Charles R. Bogle Fire Chief Post Office Box 2806 Titusville, FL 32781-2806 (321) 383-5708 www.titusville.com
