Operations Division
The Operations Division is at the heart of the Cocoa Beach Fire Department’s mission to protect and serve. Under the leadership of Chief Steve Lea, our team of 33 dedicated professionals is on duty 24/7, ready to respond to any emergency.
We are proud to be an ISO Class 2-rated department, a reflection of our commitment to fast, effective service. Our fleet includes a ladder truck, engines, utility vehicles, and rescue watercraft—all staffed and ready around the clock.
In 2024, we responded to nearly 4,000 calls, including:
Medical emergencies
Fire incidents (residential, commercial, and wildland)
Water rescues
Technical rescues
Vehicle accidents
Service calls to assist the public
Behind every response is a foundation of ongoing training, equipment maintenance, and operational support that keeps us prepared for any challenge.
At the Cocoa Beach Fire Department, safety is our top priority. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, you can count on us to be there when you need us most.
