Fort Myers Fire Department crews still use fire poles
Staff Report / FMlocal.org
The Fort Myers Fire Department's Station 11 in Fort Myers, Florida, has two fire poles that the crews still use. The firefighters slide down the poles to reach the ground floor quickly when a call comes in. This helps them get the engine and trucks out the door fast for a prompt response. The Fort Myers Fire Department was established in 1901.
