East Lake Tarpon Fire Rescue Seeking Community Members for Fire Station Build Committee

The East Lake Tarpon Special Fire Control District is seeking engaged and community-minded residents to serve on a newly established Fire Station Build Committee.

Our district is preparing for the future of fire and emergency medical services by planning for the development of a new fire station facility to replace station 58, currently located at 3280 Keystone Road. Community involvement is an important part of this process, and we are looking for residents who are interested in helping shape a project that will serve our community for generations to come.

About the Committee

The Fire Station Build Committee will work collaboratively with district leadership, fire service professionals, architects, and project consultants throughout the planning and development process. Committee members may assist with:

• Reviewing station design concepts and operational needs
• Providing community perspective and feedback
• Participating in committee meetings and discussions
• Assisting with transparency and public engagement efforts
• Supporting long-term planning initiatives related to the project

Who Should Apply

We are looking for individuals who:

• Reside within the East Lake Tarpon Special Fire Control District
• Have an interest in public safety and community development
• Can commit time to meetings and project discussions
• Bring diverse community backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives

Experience in construction, architecture, finance, project management, public administration, or community leadership is helpful, but not required.

Committee Commitment

Members should expect to participate in scheduled meetings and project-related discussions over the course of the planning and development process. The committee will play an important advisory role in helping ensure the future station reflects the needs of both the fire district and the community we proudly serve.

How to Apply

Residents interested in serving on the Fire Station Build Committee are encouraged to submit an email of interest to Jason Gennaro at jgennaro@elfr.org including:

• Name and contact information
