 Join your friendly fire department for a day of fun and learning! The chosen book for the Treasure Island Fire Rescue Story Walk is “Fiery Fox." Families will move around Treasure Island Community Park with TIFR crews to celebrate Fire Prevention Week. There will be a path to follow to read the displayed book “Fiery Fox” by Teresa Davis. Along the way you will find fun educational tables, firefighter gear fittings (children’s sizes), giveaways and more!

 Please be advised that Sunset Beach is still closed as the dune restoration project continues.
The county is nearing completion of Phase I of the Sunset Beach Dune Restoration Project. Final grading is taking place currently. This may require the contractor to traverse large sections of the beach at any given time, making it unsafe for beachgoers to enter.
WE ASK THAT FOLKS PLEASE STAY OFF THE BEACHES AT THIS TIME AND OFF OF THE NEW DUNES TO MINIMIZE ANY DISTURBANCE TO THEM.
Phase II will begin the week of Oct. 16 and will entail planting dune vegetation which will delineate access paths from each property. There will be stakes used to mark these planting areas. Please leave them in place. The contractor will be responsible for watering the vegetation through the establishment period, so the city is asking that well-intended residents refrain from adding additional water to the plants as this could harm the drought-tolerant plants. The city thanks everyone for their help and understanding through this process and is grateful for the beautiful new dune system!

 Over the past two weeks, Treasure Island Fire Rescue firefighters participated in live fire training. This training was hosted by Largo Fire Rescue, with 11 fire departments from Pinellas County participating in the drill.
The training scenarios included live fire interaction, search and rescue, forcible entry, ladder use, and ventilation techniques. TIFR also provided instructors, as this training requires a minimum of 8 instructors for each scenario.
