The Plantation Fire Department's Public Information Office endeavors to keep the public informed of any and all newsworthy events.

The office of Public Information, coordinated by Public Information Officer, Joel Gordon, has established the Plantation Fire Department News Center. Through the news center, the fire department publishes press releases, fact sheets and public safety information.

News on events such as fires, major car accidents, hazardous materials incidents and other critical emergencies are released on an occurrence basis.

The News Center also produces press and public information regarding seasonal situations such as protecting yourself from heat or cold emergencies, drowning prevention, severe weather and fire safety tips.

During weather emergencies the News Center actively keeps the public informed about events and changes in our weather status.

Through the use of the City of Plantation's PHIL (Plantation Help & Information Line) system and website, and in conjunction with Broward County's Emergency Management team, the news center keeps residents and businesses informed of the status of approaching storms, weather and flooding conditions and recovery information, if necessary.

Members of the media may reach the News Center by calling (954) 797-2150 during business hours or paging Battalion Chief Gordon directly at (954) 249-INFO. Chief Gordon can also be reached via e-mail at jgordon@psd.plantation.org.
