Bay County Fire Force Rises | Panama City Beach News

Bay County Emergency Services is transforming from the ground up with a flood of new talent—recruited from across agencies and states—to build a diverse, experienced team that’s shaping its own unique “Bay County Way.” This week, 150 firefighters drilled on critical drafting operations for northern areas without hydrants, while also mastering CPR, ACLS, and apparatus handling. New leadership—including a fresh assistant chief of training and multiple battalion chiefs—is tackling past retention woes, fueled by county support and rapid growth. Starting October 1, 17 more roles will be added, bringing new gear and expanding capacity as they embrace this dynamic “melting pot” to meet Bay County’s evolving needs.
