PSFRD Community Emergency Response Team - CERT

Welcome to the Pinellas Suncoast Fire & Rescue District (PSFRD) Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Facebook page. PSFRD CERT has been in existence since 2003 and its members are trained in first aid, CPR, disaster preparedness, fire safety, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, disaster psychology, and terrorism. PSFRD CERT provides services to the residents of Belleair Shore, Belleair Beach, Indian Rocks, Indian Shores, and the Oakhurst area of the mainland.

CERT performs several roles within the department, by providing support in the Emergency Operations Center, providing fire safety materials at public events, raising money for the two food pantries in the District, and their annual toy drive benefiting local children.

CERT members are people coming together from their community, volunteering to help their families, friends, and neighbors during a disaster, as well as promoting community fire safety.

Please check back with us to see what we're doing, or, if you are at an event in our community, stop by the PSFRD tent and say hi or ask how to be a member. You can also call our administrative office at (727) 595-1117 and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
