The Grand Isle Fire Department prides itself on being a professional department run by professionals. In response to recent social media posts spreading false information about the department, we want the public to know that this administration has made significant strides in improving the department’s financial standing and overall operations.
This administration has demonstrated leadership and professionalism to Jefferson Parish by successfully managing and meeting the department’s financial obligations to the fullest extent. One of our greatest accomplishments has been regaining full control of the department’s finances, which had been taken away two administrations ago by Jefferson Parish.
We will continue to operate to the best of our ability and remain committed to providing the highest level of fire protection and emergency services to the citizens of Grand Isle.
Since taking office, this administration and board have accomplished several major improvements for the department, including:
Purchasing a new ambulance that is expected to be delivered within the next few months.
Purchasing a new fire truck that is also expected to arrive within the next few months.
Receiving a brand-new Ford F-350 pickup truck donated by a private donor.
Having our rescue boat professionally repainted at no labor cost thanks to another private donor.
These accomplishments were made possible through the hard work and dedication of an outstanding fire department board, along with the support of our administrative assistant who was hired when the new board was put in place.
This statement is in no way intended to condemn or discredit any past administration. It is simply meant to highlight the accomplishments and progress made by the current board and administration since taking office.
We remain focused on moving the department forward in a positive direction and serving the community of Grand Isle with professionalism, accountability, and pride.
