Surrender Information

We are here to serve the City of Edgewater. Surrenders from any other city or the unincorporated county areas will incur a cost.

Pet owners surrender their pets to the Edgewater Animal Shelter for many reasons. Landlords may change, owners may move, allergies may develop, or there may be on going behavioral challenges with the animal. We understand these life changes and are here to assist the community.

Fire & Rescue History

When To Call 911

An emergency is any situation that requires immediate assistance from the police or fire department. Keep in mind that most all fire departments also provide emergency medical services. Edgewater Fire Rescue provides advanced life support (paramedic) services as well as transport to the hospital via one of our two ambulances.

Examples of an emergency include:

Life Safety Division

The Life Safety Division is responsible for plans review, fire prevention enforcement, fire safety inspections, and fire investigations. The Fire Marshal is state certified firefighter, state certified fire safety inspector and state certified law enforcement officer.

The Fire Marshal is designated by the Fire Chief as the authority having jurisdiction and is empowered by state statute and City of Edgewater Code of Ordinance. The Fire Marshal is a sworn law enforcement officer with the Edgewater Police Department.
