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

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
