KEY LARGO Volunteer Fire Rescue Department The Mission of the Key Largo Volunteer Fire Rescue Department is to provide the highest level of fire and rescue services possible through community involvement, education, and prevention.  Their team of friendly and dedicated professionals will strive for excellence to serve our community in paradise. The KLFR&EMS District is proud to contract the fire and rescue services from the Key Largo Volunteer Fire Rescue Department, which is now 52 years old.  The department officially began providing their services to rural Key Largo in 1955 shortly after the Tavernier Fire Department gave concerned citizens in Key Largo an older fire truck to fight fires in the community. The commitment and dedication of the Key Largo volunteers throughout the history of the Volunteer Fire Rescue Department may be observed with the major projects they have undertaken over the years to improve the department and it’s services to provide outstanding support to the community; including: Building the first fire station at MM 99, constructing the North Station at MM 106 from an old steel hanger salvaged from Ocean Reef, members became certified as rescue divers for water emergencies and recoveries, participating in training and conducting fundraising to help provide for the equipment and supplies the department has needed.
