Blood pressure screening is available at either our North or South Fire station
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. daily.
Where do I call to get CPR classes ?
Contact the CPR Coordinator, Jorge Alvarez at 773-5792 for CPR training information.
How can I get a copy of a fire or rescue report?
Place your request in writing, if possible, and send to the attention of the Records Custodian at our administrative address listed above. Medical reports, by law, are confidential records and cannot be released without express written consent of the patient or by a court subpoena. Requests for medical reports, therefore, must include an executed patient release form.
Who do I call about a fire extinguisher that doesn’t work or needs to be inspected?
Check the Yellow Pages under Fire Extinguishers. Small extinguishers for household use (5 pounds or less) are not rechargeable and can be purchased at any major retail store.
I was sent a bill for ambulance transport. Who do I call to notify of my insurance information or ask questions about this bill?
To provide your insurance information, contact the Town of Longboat Key Finance Department at 316-1999 and ask for ambulance billing.
