Hernando County Fire Rescue Station 2

In December 1968 the Spring Hill Civic Club donated $75 for a Fire Department Budget and $35 for a charter. In 1969 The Spring Hill Volunteer Fire Department was created. In December of 1972, after a special referendum election, the Spring Hill Fire Department became the Spring Hill Fire & Rescue District. This was a special fire tax district, voted for by the citizens and making Spring Hill Fire & Rescue the first and only government body in Spring Hill. The department has four stations. Spring Hill Fire Rescue has gone from a small handful of volunteers with one truck, a tanker and an ambulance, to a department of 85-plus personnel with more than 65 active firefighters including the chief and assistant chief, four paramedic engines, four rescue/paramedic units, two reserve ambulances and a rehab unit. The department is located in Spring Hill, Fla.
