Sarasota County’s centralized emergency call center is still getting to know Longboat Key after taking over dispatch duties from the town in 2016. On Aug. 13, seven members of the Sarasota Emergency Operations Bureau took a day tour of the island with the goal of becoming better acquainted with its geography, landmarks and idiosyncrasies.
Fire Chief Paul Dezzi and Fire EMS Liaison and PIO Tina Adams led the group on a trek up and down the 10.2-mile island, driving from the fire department headquarters to the north end of the island, then to the south end, then back to the north fire department.
