Downed trees, road flooding and debris were left in the wake of Hurricane Ian’s passing to the west of Key West and the Lower Keys. With assessment and cleanup efforts underway, Monroe County Fire Rescuers are standing ready to assist residents in unincorporated areas whose homes experienced damage. 

Response by fire rescue resembles that seen following Hurricane Irma. If any resident needs help gaining access to their homes, removing fallen trees or limbs from driveways, putting tarps on roofs, or removing water-damaged appliances out of their homes, Monroe County Fire Rescue staff is happy and willing to help.

“We are a tight-knit community who come together to help our neighbors in need in times like this,” said Chief Steve Hudson.

Please call MCFR Sr. Coordinator Mary Moeller at 305-304-0707 to schedule.
