The Iona McGregor Fire Protection and Rescue Service District, located in Fort Myers, Florida, is an independent, ad valorem tax-funded fire district serving approximately 42 square miles in South Fort Myers, including the Iona and McGregor areas. Established in 1965 as a volunteer fire department and officially chartered as a nonprofit, it transitioned into a fully operational district by 1975, with its first fire station built in 1970 and a second in 1977, both upgraded over time to meet growing community needs. Led by Fire Chief Seth Comer and Deputy Chief of Operations Khalid Aquil, the district employs highly trained firefighters and paramedics who provide 24/7 fire suppression, advanced life support, and rescue services, responding to emergencies like fires, medical incidents, hazardous materials events, and vehicle crashes. Operating out of stations at 6061 South Pointe Boulevard and 15961 Winkler Road, the district is equipped with modern apparatus, including a 2009 Sutphen Precision Engine and an emergency support vehicle with cascade systems and dive equipment. Iona McGregor Fire District emphasizes public education, offering fire prevention programs, CPR and first-aid training, and disaster preparedness seminars, such as hurricane shelter information, to enhance community safety. The district’s commitment to excellence is supported by state-of-the-art equipment and a focus on progressive emergency services, earning it a strong reputation among its 45,000 residents.
