The Belleair Bluffs Fire Department provides

Belleair Bluffs' community based fire service provides non-emergency service
including installation of smoke detectors and child safety seats for vehicles,

Fire District has evolved from an all-volunteer fire department in 1964
to a fully staffed fire service protection currently. The department is
an active member of Pinellas County Fire Services. In addition to our
own department staff and equipment, an automatic aid agreement with all
other fire departments in the county provides Belleair Bluffs Fire District
and the Town of Belleair with an engine and ladder truck on all first
alarm structure fire responses. Sunstar, the county's ambulance contractor,
provides patient transportation to a medical facility, if needed. Advanced
Life Support Services (paramedics) are currently provided by the Largo
