Welcome to Tice Fire Protection and Rescue District!
A Message From Chief DeArmond
Coming Home / A New Beginning
I am excited and honored to serve as chief of the Tice Fire & Rescue District. My career in the fire service began at Tice in the early 1980's. Two years ago I returned as the assistant chief and had the privilege of working with and learning from Chief Bradley. Having dedicated almost 34 years of service, Chief Bradley leaves a legacy that will be remembered for many generations. He will be missed and will always be a part of what this department is today.
Toward the end of Chief Bradley's administration, a new storage facility was constructed and recently completed. This 40 foot X 60 foot building will house a reserve engine, brush truck and all the files from the old station facility located on Detar Lane.
As hurricane season approached and is now upon us, I have attended meetings with other fire departments and county officials. Tice is part of the East Division which also includes the Fire Districts of Alva, Bayshore, Fort Myers Shores, Lehigh Acres, and North Fort Myers. We will be working as one unit for better organization and emergency response in the event of a natural disaster.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office. In addition, the Board of Fire Commissioners meeting are held the second Thursday of every month at 07:00PM and are always open to the public.
Sincerely,
Paul DeArmond
Fire Chief
