In 1992, by authority of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, a seven-member board was created to act as the Fire Rescue Advisory Board. It is composed of (7) members with expertise from following areas: professional community, financial community, building (construction) community, health services community, business community, and consumer. The appointments to these positions are for three year terms. These individuals serve without compensation or reimbursement for personal expenses.

of fire rescue services

fire rescue services and create a communication
network for recipients of the service
Develop a familiarity with the fire rescue
delivery system in Palm Beach County and act
as an advocate to improve fire protection and
emergency medical services
Assist the Fire Rescue Administrator with
problem-solving on policy issues or topics in the
community related to fire rescue
Provide the Board of County Commissioners
with an annual evaluation of PBCFR and recommendations on budget proposals.
