Okay, why not Florida 911 Photography?

It’s not gonna happen on a regular basis but when in the immediate vicinity, ya take it.

Today, the Sarasota County 911 alerted the box assignment for the structure fire on Baneberry Court here in North Venice.

Engine companies 51, 52 and 53 along with Rescue (EMS/Firefighters) arrived to single story, single family home with nothing visible from the exterior.

Crews made entry to the occupied structure to find smoke from the oven. Firefighters removed a charred cardboard pizza box from the oven. The incident was cleared within 20 minutes.

Note: all details were made by my observation only, nothing has been verified by any Venice Fire Department or Sarasota County Fire Department personnel.

As the year comes to an end today, our “LOOKING BACK” has come to an end.

Over the year, I posted every incident we took photos of over the ten years we were in operation (2009-2019).

I hope you enjoyed looking back at all the crazy incidents handled by our first responders, for such a small piece of the country, its clear our area sees its share of craziness and sadness from accidents to fires.

Theres not much more I can do with this page, so this is probably the last post.

For those still riding fire truck, ambulances, helicopters or in police cars, please be safe every day.

Have a safe and happy 2024.
