Yesterday, first responders were called to a structure fire on Amelia Island. Crews from the City of Fernandina Beach Fire Department (FBFD) and Nassau County Fire Rescue (NCFR) worked side-by-side to contain the blaze, protect neighboring properties, and keep our community safe.
This incident is a strong reminder of why mutual aid agreements matter. Emergencies don’t recognize jurisdictional lines — and because our agencies train together and support one another, additional personnel, apparatus, and resources can be deployed quickly when they’re needed most. That cooperation ensures a faster, safer, and more effective response for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.
We extend our sincere condolences to the business owners and employees affected by this loss. Our thoughts are with you as you begin the recovery process.
We also want to thank Kellie Boston of Boston Photography Group for respectfully capturing images of the response. Her photos help tell the story of the professionalism, coordination, and dedication shown by our firefighters during a very challenging incident.
We are grateful for the men and women of FBFD and NCFR who put service above self every day.
