The Seminole County Fire Department (SCFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the unincorporated parts of Seminole County, Florida along with the cities of Altamonte Springs and Winter Springs.[2]

History

The Seminole County Department of Public Safety first created an EMS/Fire/Rescue Division in 1974.[3] This department, which was created from numerous volunteer departments that were already established across the county, was designed to serve the unincorporated areas of Seminole County. By 2000 the department had grown to over 13 stations and in 2002 merged with the City of Altamonte Springs' Fire Department to make one of the largest fire departments in Central Florida.[3] In October 2008, Winter Springs' Fire Department also merged into Seminole County bringing the number of county stations to 18.

Stations and Apparatus

The SCFD has 18 stations spread out in 4 separate battalions.[2] Station 65 at the University of Central Florida is jointly run by the Orange County Fire Rescue.[1]
