Alligator Point Volunteer Fire Department

THE SOLE PURPOSE OF APVFD IS TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND EMS SERVICES TO TEH COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE OUR ONLY PROGRAM. THERE WERE NO STRUCTURAL FIRES IN 2020. HOWEVER, THERE WERE A FEW WILD FIRES THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS RESPONDED TO. AS IN MOST YEARS, THERE WERE SEVERAL EMS CALLS FOR WHICH OUR VOLUNTEERS RESPONDED. SEVERAL CALLS ARE FOR HEART ATTACKS OR STORKES, AND SOME CALLS INVOLVING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, SOME WHICH RQUIRED AIR-LIFTS. TO HOSPITALS.
