Securing Fire Stations

PBCFR has implemented a security initiative to create a safer environment for employees. Adding closed-circuit television cameras, card access, increased lighting, and fencing around fire stations helps deter crime and enhance awareness. These measures ensure that PBCFR’s personnel can focus on their vital work without the distraction or concern of potential ​security threats. PBCFR’s commitment to safety reflects dedication to the well-being of staff and the communities served. ​
