I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know what an outstanding fire dept. we have here in Palm Bay. This afternoon when I came home from work there was a fire in a lot in our neighborhood (on Jaffee and Jaslo). There was one residence that was in close proximity to the majority of the blaze. Myself and a few other passersby were there will hoses until emergency personnel arrived.
Once the first vehicle was on scene more continued to arrive. It was the most awesome display of work and determination I have ever witnessed. The capability of the Brush trucks is unbelievable. The first one arrived and drove right into brush. AMAZING! There were several chiefs and investigators on scene as well. What an outstanding group of men I saw out there today.
I just felt that you needed to hear from the residents of the city who had first-hand experience. Please recognize the talent and skill of the PBFD, and let them know how much the residents appreciate what they are doing. Thank you for your time.

Thanks and Gratitude to FF/PM Jason Smith
The Chief's Office received an email from the City's Housing and Development Department's Program Assistant, Cheryl Zappola, thanking PBF-R for assisting one of her clients.
The client stopped by Station One to ask about smoke detectors. Firefighter/Paramedic Jason Smith assisted him by providing detectors for his home, then took time to explain exactly how to install them.
The client suffers from a traumatic brain injury and Ms. Zappola was very grateful to the kindness and excellent service given by Fire-Rescue.
Thank you, Lt. Leahy,  from Advent Lutheran Preschool

Letter of Thanks to Station 2 Personnel
Dear Chief Abraira,
Having been in the Fire Service for over 27 years in New Jersey, I understand with all the budget cuts and stress that sometimes we take our jobs for granted. But I must really compliment your members, especially the crew from Station 2.
I recently returned home from burying my mother in law, Catherine McCabe, who was residing in Serenity Place on Brighton Ave in Palm Bay. Members of your Dept. have been assisting my in laws for many years, from their time in Holiday Park during the hurricanes or just to assist when they fell, to their final days in the assisted living.
I recently stopped by and offered my THANKS in person, but as is usual, they said they loved their job and didn’t need any thanks.
So with this letter my wife and I offer our sincere THANKS. You should be very proud of these men. God Bless you all and stay safe.

Another Happy Citizen!
A citizen called the City Manager's Office and wanted to tell the Fire Chief know how wonderful the Fire-Rescue gentlemen handled her 911 call. Apparently she fell out of her wheelchair, and was very pleased with the way the two young men who responded helped her.
She wanted to give them money or a gift, and they would not accept, so she wanted to personally tell the City Manager what a good job the City’s fire rescue has done.
She did not get their names, but says they said they were from Station 4.
Kudos to Station 1 Personnel
A citizen phoned in regarding PBF-R's response to a structure fire on Starlight NE this morning (Station 1's response area). "They were so professional, and their response was wonderful. They did a super job, and are amazing!"
Note from citizens Pat and Skip:
"Job well done, guys!
Tuesday night, May 12, 2009, at approximately 9:45 p.m., there was a lightning strike across the street from us at 1073 Altamira St NW. It immediately started the trees on fire. My husband called PBFD to report it. Engine 2 and Brush 2 responded quickly, and doused the fire after a few minutes. It was lightning out, but they still went into action. It was not a huge fire, just a few trees, but it was still very scary to us.
We would like to take this time to say 'Thank you....Palm Bay FD....YOU ROCK! All you guys and gals are awesome, you're the best in our book. No matter how small or how big, you folks take control and show the fire who is boss'.
May God Bless you all."
WE.....ARE...........
