Fernandina Beach Fire Department
May 1, 2020
With the impending opening of the beaches, we are looking for cotton masks for our Ocean Rescue lifeguards – to help protect them, as well as our residents & visitors.
As our guards respond to emergencies, assist with first aid, relay public information, & enact other prevention methods in the interest of beach safety, we ask that beach-goers keep at least six feet between themselves & our guards as able. We continue to encourage the public to follow CDC guidelines & personal health practices for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Instructions for making masks are below, if needed. We are looking to accomplish this ASAP! Mask donations can be delivered to Fire HQ at 516 S 10th St. in Fernandina Beach. Please call us at (904)310-3153 with any questions, or to have us meet you outside. We know we serve an incredible community that will help us accomplish this task. Thank you all!
