ABFD Scheduled To Move

Construction of the new Public Safety and Administration Complex is in its final stages. The ABFD is preparing to move into their new space next week. The demolition of the current Fire Department is scheduled for January 31. Once demolition is done, the remaining finishing touches on the complex can be completed.

The original Atlantic Beach Fire Department is shown in the photo above from 1957.
Level 3 ISO Rating

The ABFD received notification that they have, once again, received a level 3 ISO rating! 

An ISO fire rating is a score from one to ten indicating how well-protected a community is by its fire department. A lower number is better in the ISO rating scale: one is the best possible rating, while a ten means the fire department did not meet ISO's minimum requirements.

Thanks to constant training, and support from our Mayor and Town Council, the ABFD is one of 121 departments in the state with a level 3 rating! Not only does this mean our citizens and homes are safer, but a lower ISO rating also translates to lower homeowner insurance premiums!
