Leon County reviews fire service contract options with Tallahassee
What happened
Leon County is currently weighing two options for its fire service. One path involves renegotiating a contract with the city of Tallahassee. A consulting firm projects that this renegotiation could increase annual operating costs from $12 million to $18.8 million over five years. The county is also considering creating a county-run fire service.
