Chiefs Desk

 It is an honor to serve the citizens of the Pace Fire Rescue District as your Fire Chief. I am committed to ensuring you have highly trained professionals who can competently and professionally perform the task to mitigate your emergency. I am incredibly proud of our staff here at Pace Fire Rescue District. The men and women who serve the citizens and visitors of the District work vigilantly every day to deliver the best possible assistance. 

The delivery of services by our personnel is through a team approach. It is through this approach that the crews can stabilize the sick and injured through Basic and Advanced Life Support medical services, or provide fire suppression. We are accomplishing the vital tasks that are necessary to maintain the situation. The building of a quality team has achieved through many hours of hard work, training, and dedication.

 The District utilizes modern firefighting techniques and aggressively performs interior fire attacks using modern equipment and tactics. Our crews, along with our Automatic Aid partners, work under an Incident Command System which significantly improves efficiency and safety on the fire ground. The reality is that most of the residents living within the District will never actually have to utilize the Fire services.

 Our commitment is that in those times when there is a need for assistance, whether emergency or non-emergency, we will be there to deliver professional services that meet or exceed your expectations. If you ever encounter a situation where we did not perform up to your expectations, please feel free to contact me at 850-994-6884 or by e-mail at rwhitfield@pacefirerescuedistrict.com.
