A Message from the Fire Chief

Hello, my name is Ryan Duckworth. I have worked for the City of Cocoa Beach Fire Department for the past ten years and have served as the Fire Chief for the past three years.  With the help of two Deputy Chiefs and a Fire Support Administrator, we ensure that the citizens and visitors of Cocoa Beach receive high quality, effective emergency services from our 24 shift-based firefighters 24 hours a day.  We are always available to answer  any questions you may have or provide any assistance necessary.

Population & Response Area
The City of Cocoa Beach Fire Department (CBFD) serves approximately 3.5 square miles of residential and commercial area, as well as providing basic fire protection for the "Thousand Islands", the area adjacent to Cocoa Beach, in the Banana River. The 3.5 square miles of land mass is unique in shape in that it is a barrier island approximately 6.5 miles in length and approximately 1.7 miles wide at it widest point. The CBFD serves a population of approximately 12,800 residents, as well as the influx of tourists and visitors which causes the population to rise to an average of 30,000 people a day during the tourist season.
