Inside look at Panama City Beach Fire Rescue's daily training exercises
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – Panama City Beach Fire Rescue responds to 6,000 calls a year, but they spend a lot of time training. Today's drill was called 'pump evolution' to train a new fire truck driver. The truck pulls up to a scene, firefighters deploy a hose, connect it to a fire hydrant and start spraying water. The drills help firefighters respond to emergencies safely and efficiently, and to be prepared for anything. 'Every single shift is different. Whether we're doing a lift, assist, a medical call, go to the airport for an emergency there. Every single day, it's going to be something different. So we strive to stay ready and to prepare for the worst case for somebody else,' Panama City Beach Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Brandon Memford said. Kids get a chance to see what firefighters do during the 'Camp 9-1–1' summer camp. They'll visit Fire Station 30 on Wednesday, and also see how beach safety members train on a riptide simulator machine. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

South Walton Fire District opens 19th lifeguard tower
SOUTH WALTON, Fla. (WMBB) – In opening its 19th lifeguard tower on Tuesday, June 10, the South Walton Fire District is now the professional beach safety services provider for WaterSound Beach. According to a SWFD Facebook post, the tower is funded through a contractual agreement between SWFD and St. Joe Resort Operations, LLC, alongside support from the WaterSound Beach Homeowners Association. Lynn Haven official advocates for senior-friendly USPS drop box Officials said adding a tower means enhancing beach safety services in what lifeguards have historically considered the 'Seven Mile Stretch,' a name derived from the area of South Walton beaches where there are no on-site lifeguard coverage, emergency access challenges and consistently high-call volume. 'The seven miles can tax our resources quickly, but frankly it isn't just about emergency responses to any of the unguarded beaches,' said SWFD Beach Safety Director David Vaughan. 'The absence of official lifeguard services means it's more challenging to educate face-to-face and prevent emergencies from happening altogether. The bulk of what we do is prevention, but without the opportunity to have a presence, prevention doesn't happen as easily.' The South Walton Fire District has added four towers since the start of the 2025 Beach Safety Season and are continually hiring seasonal and full-time lifeguards of all experience levels.
