Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District is ranked an ISO standard Class Three, which puts your fire department among the top three percent of over 33,000 communities in the U.S. This saves the average homeowner 10-20 percent on their insurance rates.

The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District recently filed an application with Lee County to be able to provide an ambulance transport service to benefit the residents of our community.

BSFCRD’s proposal is to expand our current level of advanced life support non-transport service to an emergency medical ambulance transport service. We would provide four 24-hour ambulances, where LCEMS currently provides only two 24-hour and one 12-hour ambulance in our community.
