Bike Team
The Fire Rescue Bike Team was created in 2002 to provide both Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support services for large mass-gatherings and/or other size events that may pose response delays of larger apparatus due to physical layout of event or unique crowd conditions. To request the Bike Team for your event, call (352) 343-9458 or e-mail cmurphy@lakecountyfl.gov.

Special Operations
The Fire Rescue Special Operations Team (SORT) is a result of a collaborated effort with the Department of Public Safety Fire Rescue and Emergency Management Divisions. SORT handles all types of incidents that require very specialized skills and equipment to mitigate the situation. SORT incident response would include, but not limited to, the following type emergencies: gas leaks, hazardous material spills, confined space rescue, high-angle rescue, collapse/trench rescue, water rescue and complex or large-scale fire suppression incidents. SORT resources consist of thirty-three personnel over three duty shifts operating two (2) SQUADs and one (1) TOWER truck.
