Fire Chief Thomas G. Weber, CFO
MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
I have served close to 28 years in the fire
service with the last six years being at the level of Chief of
Department. I have witnessed a lot of change in the services fire
departments provide to the community and Port Orange is a prime
example of a community where its fire fighters embrace and
promote changes that make the community safer. I have a saying
that I truly believe should be the mission of the entire fire
service. "We must work diligently to eliminate the need
for our services through proactive prevention and education
efforts for all of our citizens". Every time we respond
to an emergency someone is physically, emotionally, or
financially hurt. Our number one goal is to prevent that pain
from occurring. When we can’t prevent emergencies we must respond
and react with the highest level of professionalism and courtesy
toward those who need us.
One way to meet this goal is to meet with
you; we have many opportunities to interact through City events.
As Chief, I would be glad to meet with you through your homeowner,
social or business associations. Feel free to contact me at
tweber@port-orange.org to discuss opportunities for a department
representative or myself to meet and discuss today’s fire
service. We would be glad to hear any concerns about our services
or suggestions for future needs.
Remember: your fire fighters are here 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so, don’t
hesitate to call. We might not be able to solve all of your
problems, but we will be able to assist you find the help you
need.
