History of the Cape Coral Fire Department presentation Tuesday at Cape Museum of History
The Cape Coral Museum of History Speaker Series continues Tuesday, March 11, at 5:30 p.m., with the History of the Cape Coral Fire Department.
Panelists for the presentation include Cape pioneer and longtime city firefighter Chris Schroder, Interim Fire Chief Mike Russell and Jim Parker, who will discuss the history and future of the CCFD.
From the modest beginnings in a small Florida community in the 1960s, the city of Cape Coral Fire Rescue and Emergency Management Services Department has evolved into one of the most respected among its peers in the State of Florida. With 13 current fire stations and the Emergency Operations Center, the Cape Coral Fire Department has come a long way from the volunteer fire district that began in 1962.
Hear stories about everything from the role the fire department played in the early years to its continued expansion and even future plans for the fire department and Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
The presentation will be held in person at the Cape Coral Museum of History at 544 Cultural Park Blvd.
