​​Your Safety. Our Priority.png


The Palm Beach County Fire Rescue's Community Risk Reduction Division (CRRD) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of our residents, firefighters, and businesses. Our mission is to proactively reduce the risks associated with fires and other emergencies, both at home and in the community.

Education and Enforcement for a Safer Palm Beach County

The CRRD achieves its goals through a two-pronged approach: education and enforcement.

  • Education: We offer a variety of educational programs for all ages, from fire safety presentations in schools to CPR training for residents.
  • Enforcement: Our fire inspectors ensure that buildings comply with all fire safety codes, minimizing the risk of fires and keeping everyone safe.

Specialized Teams for Comprehensive Protection

The CRRD is comprised of four distinct branches, each dedicated to a specific aspect of risk reduction:​

The CRRD also supports and houses the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Palm Beach​ County​, highlighting our commitment to comprehensive safety within the community.  Palm Beach County Fire Rescue's CRRD is here to keep you and your loved ones safe.
