1. When I call 911 in Titusville, the Police Department answers. Why?

There are multiple Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) at law enforcement centers within Brevard County. When 911 is dialed, the call is connected to the appropriate PSAP for that locality. In Titusville, your call will be answered by the Titusville Police Department Dispatching Center, which also dispatches calls for Titusville Fire Department.

If you also require medical transport, the call will be simultaneously transmitted to the Brevard County Public Safety Department who handles ambulance transports within our county.

2. Does it cost me anything when I call 911 for an emergency?

All fire, medical, vehicle accidents, and service calls responded to by Titusville Fire Department are at no cost to our community members. However, transportation provided by ambulance crews of Brevard County Fire Rescue and, transports under rare circumstances by our department, do incur costs for such emergency transportation. Department responses to certain hazardous materials call also may be chargeable, depending upon the type, scope, and length of the hazmat call.

3. Why does a fire truck show up when I call for a medical emergency?

Titusville Fire Department is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) First Responder agency and each of its fire stations maintains licensed Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians. By setting up our fire engines to handle all types of calls, including medical emergencies, we typically arrive on the scene faster than an ambulance because of strategically placed fire stations, but can also provide required advanced emergency medical care.

3. I locked my keys inside my vehicle. Can the fire department get them out?

Our department will respond to an emergency situation, such as an infant or pet locked in the vehicle, and will use a punch tool to remove one of the windows to gain access. However, technological advances in vehicle locking mechanisms designed to prevent theft make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to open a car door and vehicle damage is usually sustained during the attempt.

If there is no emergency involved, our department must regretfully refer you to a locksmith.
