KEY LARGO, Fla. — The Key Largo board created to oversee the community’s volunteer-based fire department may need to assemble a new department in two months.
In a 3-2 decision Monday night, elected members of the Key Largo Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services District voted to terminate its contract with the Key Largo Fire-Rescue Department Inc., consisting mostly of volunteers the past five decades.
No reasons were publicly offered in the crowded special meeting that lasted less than 30 minutes. The without-cause resolution “just says the district didn’t want to fight about the reasons,” district attorney Dirk Smits said. “Just that it’s over.”
