North Port Fire Rescue

Congratulations to FF/PM Layne Boyette on achieving Paramedic in Charge (PIC) status!

Layne recently completed the required testing process in front of Medical Director Dr. Johnson and the NPFR EMS Division, demonstrating the knowledge, leadership, and clinical skills required for this important milestone.

Achieving PIC status means Layne is now cleared to serve as the lead paramedic on emergency medical calls, a significant accomplishment that reflects hard work, dedication, and a commitment to providing exceptional patient care to our community.

A special shoutout as well to EMS-FTO Keith Barreto for his mentorship and guidance throughout the process.

Congratulations, Layne!

Congratulations to FF/EMT Zachary Wiegele on celebrating 5 years of service with North Port Fire Rescue!

Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving the citizens and visitors of North Port each and every day. We appreciate everything you bring to the department and look forward to many more years ahead.

Congratulations, Zachary, and thank you for your service to our community!

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave their lives in defense of our freedoms.

We are forever grateful to the fallen heroes and the families who continue to carry their legacy forward. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at North Port Fire Rescue, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
