Holley-Navarre Fire District is no stranger to high-pressure situations. District personnel routinely respond to structure fires, rescues and urgent medical emergencies.
In 2025, that pressure intensified as the district handled 4,349 calls for service across its 53-square-mile coverage area. The majority of those calls — 2,795 — were handled by Station 45 on Esplanade Street East. In 2024, the district responded to 3,995 calls.
