Prior to Computer Aided Dispatch, street maps were updated by hand when new streets were added or existing street names changed. The maps, showing the location and name of the street, were hand-drawn and taken to a print shop for printing and laminating. The laminated copies were then hand delivered to the fire stations. Here firefighter Ernie Cox (October 1, 1969 through June 1994) is updating master street map copy.
The Tallahassee Fire Department provides emergency services from fires and fire hazards, as well as first response to biological, chemical and radioactive hazards. Its mission is to prevent or minimize the loss of life and property, protect the environment, assist in cooperative emergency medical services, mitigate the consequences of natural and unforeseen disasters, and provide non-emergency support services, through professional and effective delivery, to all who live, visit, work or invest in the City of Tallahassee and Leon County.
