#DYK Osceola County has its own Tree Farm? We're proud to grow and care for a wide variety of trees that are now being planted throughout the County, helping beautify our community while reducing landscaping costs and leaning into more homegrown resources. Our Parks & Public Lands team is hard at work growing sturdy, Florida-friendly trees and planting them in spots across the County to help beautify and enhance our shared space—most recently, our Fire Department received new trees for their Fire Station #75, giving our firefighters (and their trucks) a cooler and greener station to soon call home. 👷🌳✨🚒 | #OsceolaCounty #SustainabilityInAction #GoGreenOsceola #HomegrownLandscaping #EcoFriendlyFuture | @OSCFR |

Be a wildfire safety enthusiast! Don't start a campfire or burn yard debris if there are high winds, drought or high temperatures. Always check with local officials for burn bans or warnings.

#DYK that unlike other poisonous gases, you can’t see or smell carbon monoxide? When unspent fuels produce carbon monoxide in and around your home, you may not even know – which is why prevention and detection are extremely important. Commissioner Ricky Booth (D5) and Division Chief John Murphy from Osceola County Fire Rescue & EMS talk about this invisible hazard and what you can to protect yourself and your family. #NationalPoisonPreventionWeek #nppw25 _________________ @CommishBooth @OSCFR
