Dear Maitland Resident:
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the City and inform you of the various services we are able to provide. In addition to emergency fire and medical services we can assist you with other areas of possible interest. Listed below are some of these:
1. CPR Classes
We have several instructors who will teach various levels of CPR to groups that are interested in learning how to save a life. These classes can be tailored to your group needs whether it is CPR for infants, children or adults.
2. Free Blood Pressure Checks
Stop by the Fire Station, at Packwood Ave. and Independence Lane so we can check and record your blood pressure.
3. Station Tours
If you or your children would like to stop by the fire station to see the operation first hand we would be happy to show you around. Give us a call at 407-539-6227 to let us know you are coming and we will have someone available to answer your questions.

We have brochures and pamphlets available at the Fire Station to help you and your family prepare for hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters. We encourage you to stop by and pick up what you need.
