Future Fire Stations

Fire Station Haven

Safe Haven

Florida Safe Haven Law allows a mother to leave her newborn child at a fire station, Emergency Medical Services station, or Hospital without fear of prosecution. The child can be up to 7 days old and must be unharmed or hurt. The child will be evaluated and transported to the hospital where a licensed child-placing agency provided by the State of Florida will place the child with parents waiting to adopt a child.

Safe Place

Any youth in trouble knows that he or she can enter a fire station and request help. A firefighter will provide the youth with a secure place to wait while the local youth shelter is contacted. The shelter then dispatches a volunteer to the Safe Place site to offer assistance and to provide transportation to the shelter if necessary.

All Fire Stations in the Indian River County area are designated as Safe Haven and Safe Place locations.

Fire Station Tours

Tours of your local fire station are available upon request. Fire Station Tours last approximately 30-60 minutes and include viewing the fire engine, an ambulance and fire fighting equipment, as well as talking to the firefighters and paramedics about their jobs.

To schedule a fire station tour, contact the Indian River County Fire Prevention Bureau at 772-226-1880, between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

In Case of Emergency, Dial 9-1-1,  TTY 9-1-1
