🦃 WOW, ALLIGATOR POINT! 🐊

We’ve been blown away by the response to our FIRST EVER Alligator Point Turkey Trot!

With such a great turnout expected, we’re asking everyone to help us keep traffic and parking as smooth as possible on Thanksgiving morning.

If you can, please consider carpooling with friends and neighbors, taking your golf cart if you’re nearby, or simply walking over if you live close enough.

Thank you, Alligator Point, for showing up in such a BIG way and supporting APSTVFD!

We can’t wait to see everyone Thanksgiving morning!

🚒 MEMBER MONDAY 🚒

This week we’re highlighting Fire Support member Adolphus Coolik!

Adolphus joined APSTVFD in 2020 and has been a valuable part of the department ever since.

He’s a little bit of a jack of all trades around here and helps keep the wheels turning behind the scenes more than most people probably realize. Whether it’s helping with projects, equipment, station needs, or whatever else comes up, Adolphus is always willing to lend a hand.

When asked what he enjoys most about being a member, Adolphus said:

“My favorite part is working with our team of individuals with multitalents to accomplish community service.”

That really sums up what volunteer service is all about, different people bringing different skills together to serve the community.

Thank you Adolphus, for everything you do for APSTVFD!

🚒 TOOL TUESDAY: WHAT DOES THE HELMET COLOR MEAN?

This week’s Tool Tuesday is a little different. Our helmet colors help quickly identify the role and certification level of our members on an emergency scene.

Members who hold an active Florida Volunteer Firefighter (Firefighter I) certification or Firefighter Certificate of Compliance (Firefighter II) are issued a black helmet marked “Firefighter.”

Members who do not hold one of those firefighter certifications are considered Fire Support and are issued a yellow helmet.

Our Fire Support members are a critical part of APSTVFD and perform many important jobs on emergency scenes, including apparatus operations, water supply, equipment, traffic control, rehabilitation, medical support, and much more.

The yellow helmet simply gives everyone on scene an easy way to identify members who should remain outside an IDLH environment or hot zone.

Different helmets, different roles but one team working together to serve our community.

🚒 MEMBER MONDAY… ON A TUESDAY! 🚒

This week we’re highlighting Fire Support member Victoria Schwatka!

Victoria joined APSTVFD around 2018–2019 and earned her first Emergency Medical Responder certification in 2019. She has been a dedicated part of the department for several years.

When asked what she enjoys most about being a member, Victoria said:

“The department is the most professionally run volunteer fire department with which I have ever been involved. I am proud to be part of such a dedicated group of volunteers who NEVER miss a call. The attention to training and maintenance of our equipment is on par with many career departments. It is a privilege to work with APSTVFD to serve our community.”

We’re fortunate to have members like Victoria who have continued giving their time and serving our community year after year.

Thank you Victoria, for everything you do for APSTVFD!
