These are battery operated smoke detectors and are supplied free of charge to those that request them and can be installed in any home within the City of Sanford or Seminole County.

PARAMEDICINE PROGRAM
The Sanford Fire Department Community Paramedicine Program exists to assist the City of Sanford Residents with their in-home medical care. The goal of the program is to assess our patients and assist them with their level of knowledge about their condition, medical equipment, medications, doctor’s visits and discharge instructions. The focus of the program is improving health while decreasing dependency on Emergency Medical Services.

The focus of the program is to provide information about the services we provide, fire prevention, fire evacuation drills and career training information. Our target audience is schools, daycares, homeowners associations and other organizations that could benefit from our safety oriented programs.
