Howard Creek is a small fishing community nestled next to the brothers river system that feeds into the Great Apalachicola river. Where the best oysters come from. We Are a small department with a 157 sq mile territory of woods and residents. We respond to First responder calls, water rescue and fires, woods fires along with structure fires and MVA's. We operate on a $15,000 a year budget and have to do fund raisers to help pay for the rest of the equipment and repairs. We rely a lot on donations and grants if we are lucky enough to be awarded one. We do a lot for our community with very little and we appreciate all the support from our residents.
