Community Risk Reduction and Outreach



firewebsiteLargo Fire Rescue places an emphasis on community risk reduction as a means of fire and emergency prevention. Our Community Risk Reduction and Outreach program identifies areas within the community that have a need for public safety education and risk reduction programs, such as smoke alarm installations and home safety surveys.                                      
  
Learn home fire safety tips, and smoke alarm information through NFPA. 

For smoke alarm installation and home safety survey requests, call 727-587-6737.
For fire safety, fall prevention or hurricane preparedness presentations contact our Community Risk Reduction Specialist.
