Osceola County Professional Firefighters are currently on scene of an extensive motor vehicle accident in the area of Highway 60 and Peavine Road involving approximately 10 patients and multiple fatalities.

Due to the severity of the incident and the ongoing emergency response and investigation, Highway 60 will be closed for an extended period of time.

Please avoid the area, seek an alternate route, and allow emergency personnel and law enforcement the space needed to safely operate.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this tragic incident. We also ask the community to respect the privacy of those involved as responders continue their work.

Osceola County Professional Firefighters recently responded to a vehicle fire on Florida’s Turnpike on the east side of Osceola County.

Upon arrival, crews encountered a vehicle actively involved in fire and quickly went to work stretching attack lines, extinguishing the flames, and preventing the fire from spreading beyond the vehicle.

Incidents along the Turnpike present additional challenges for our firefighters, including high-speed traffic, limited access, and the need to establish a safe working area while crews operate.

We want wish the Boca Raton firefighters a full and speedy recovery. This is an unfortunate reminder of the dangers first responders face.

⚠️ SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. GIVE US ROOM TO WORK.

When approaching an emergency vehicle stopped on the roadway with its emergency lights activated, move over at least one lane when it is safe and possible to do so. If you cannot safely move over, slow down and proceed with caution.

That extra lane of space can be the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

Please help us make sure every first responder gets home safely. ❤️‍🩹

🚨 BREAKING: Three Boca Raton firefighters were taken to the hospital this morning after their fire truck was rear-ended while responding to a crash on I-95.

Florida Highway Patrol says a 21-year-old driver struck the fire truck with three firefighters inside.

CRITICAL REMINDER: Move over for emergency vehicles and first responders. Their lives depend on it.

🇺🇸 25 YEARS WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001, is a day forever etched into the heart of our nation and the fire service.

Twenty-five years later, the members of the Osceola County Professional Firefighters pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice.

They climbed the stairs while others were coming down. They went toward danger because people needed them. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty continue to inspire generations of firefighters.

We also remember the first responders who have lost their lives in the years since from illnesses connected to their service at Ground Zero. Their sacrifice did not end on September 11.

For 25 years, we have carried a promise:

Never forget the lives lost.
Never forget the families forever changed.
Never forget the courage of those who responded.
Never forget the unity our nation showed in the days that followed.

Today, we honor them by remembering them.

On September 2, Osceola County Professional Firefighters responded to a serious incident involving a worker heavily entrapped in industrial machinery.

Initial arriving crews quickly recognized the complexity of the rescue and requested our Special Operations Team. For more than an hour, our members worked tirelessly alongside facility engineering personnel through a highly technical and challenging extrication to safely free the patient from the machinery.

Throughout the operation, patient care remained a priority, with assistance from Orange County Professional Firefighters and the Air Care Team. Following the successful extrication, the patient was transported as a Trauma Alert to a local hospital for further treatment.

Technical rescues like this require teamwork, specialized equipment, and countless hours of preparation. This successful operation would not have been possible without our members’ dedication to continually training for the worst-case scenario.

When the call comes, our firefighters are prepared for the challenges others hope never happen.

On August 30, Osceola County Firefighters responded to a serious single vehicle rollover crash on South Orange Blossom Trail near Rancho Latino Restaurant.

Crews arrived to find a vehicle overturned with two patients and confirmed entrapment. Firefighters immediately began an extrication operation while simultaneously providing advanced medical care.

One patient was trauma alerted. The second patient went into traumatic cardiac arrest, requiring immediate resuscitation efforts. Crews were able to achieve ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation) before transport.

Responding units included Engine 43, Rescue 43, Engine 42, Rescue 42, Engine 84, Heavy Rescue 1, and Battalion Chief 4.

Incidents like this demonstrate the importance of having properly staffed fire, rescue resources available when seconds matter. Outstanding work by all personnel involved in this challenging response.

We are unsure how yesterday’s post was deleted but here it is again. Our position is clear, public safety is not a line item.

🚨 OSCEOLA COUNTY — YOUR PUBLIC SAFETY IS AT RISK

The Osceola County Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 3284 is asking our community to pay attention to a proposal that could significantly reduce fire-rescue services in Osceola County.

According to the County’s proposal:

🚒 Station 54 – Harmony: Remove the Rescue Unit — 9 positions
🚒 Station 52 – Pine Grove: Close the station — 12 positions
📉 21 positions would be reassigned to existing vacancies at other stations.

The County has identified these changes as part of a $2.7 million reduction in Fire services and a reevaluation of the adopted level of service.

This isn’t simply about numbers on a budget spreadsheet. When fire-rescue resources are moved or removed, response coverage and available resources can be affected when people need help the most.

Our firefighters live in this community. We work here, raise our families here, and respond to emergencies in your neighborhoods every day.

We need your voice.

📞 Contact your Osceola County Commissioners.

Tell them:

“I deserve public safety. I want my fire-rescue level of service protected.”

Ask them to carefully consider the impact these proposed cuts could have on response times, coverage, and the safety of Osceola County residents.

Public safety isn’t just another line in the budget. It’s the service you count on when everything goes wrong.

🟥 Stand with your firefighters.
🟥 Stand for your community.
🟥 Stand for public safety.
