The Fire Rescue Section makes up the largest portion of the agency and remains the bread and butter of the fire service. Winter Park operates on a three-shift system with each working 24-hours on-duty followed by 48 hours off-duty. Each shift is comprised of 23 firefighters who respond from three fire stations. These stations are located strategically located throughout our city to help us provide the closest possible response to any reported incident.
Our firefighters operate three Engine Companies, One Truck Company, Two ALS transport Rescue Companies, EMS Supervisor, and Battalion Chief. All units are capable of delivering advanced life support medical care and our Rescue units transport an average of 1800 patients annually.
Based upon an extensive and ongoing assessment of the community’s risk hazards a formal Standard of Cover (SOC) for all emergency response activity has been adopted by the citizens of Winter Park. The SOC is accepted every five years by Resolution of the City Commission so that these very detailed, life-saving decisions can be made based on industry best practices and quantified anticipated outcomes and not on emotion. Every aspect of response is assessed and benchmarked against what are considered to be the industry’s highest performance measurements. The Quarterly SOC Compliance Report can be found by clicking here. Each baseline of current performance is measured against the industry benchmarks helping the city define specific goals and objectives for the agency.
For each individual program a performance statement is made. These measurement statements define the expected level of performance and outcome for each type of incident. The performance statements measure both the arrival of the first unit and the effective response force of firefighters assigned to a particular type of call.

The rescue operations during the different disaster situations are one of the most important life saving operations ever existed.
Fire is one of the most dangerous disaster situations.
We should apply water on the fire to blow it out.If the fire caught area is huge we should immediately call the fire engines to avoid the big disaster.
And in electrical fire situation ,usage of sand is highly recommended inspite of water.
