The Upper Captiva Fire and Rescue District recently purchased a new Kubota tractor and PTO (power take-off) pump to strengthen fire suppression capabilities, emergency response, and island pathway maintenance across Upper Captiva (North Captiva).
|
Now, the department is working to replenish the funds used for this critical investment in community safety.
|
Because of Upper Captiva’s unique terrain, specialized equipment like a compact tractor paired with a PTO-driven pump can make a tremendous difference in emergency situations. This equipment helps firefighters:
|
- Move through sandy and off-road areas more efficiently
- Pump large volumes of water where fire trucks cannot reach
- Improve wildfire and brush fire response capabilities
- Maintain critical island pathways for safer emergency access
- Every contribution directly supports the safety and protection of our island community, residents, visitors, and first responders.
Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for supporting your island fire department!
