The growth of the Estero Fire District has been incredible in the last 10 years. The population doubled from 1995 to 2000, then doubled again from 2000 to 2005.

The growth of the community has dictated the growth of Estero Fire Rescue, including the construction of 4 new fire stations in the District. The location of these stations was determined by studying the population distribution of Estero (present and future), and the road network.

The goal was to build stations in areas that would allow response times of 4 minutes or less to the vast majority of the population.

Fire Stations

at Estero Fire Rescue

EFR Station #1:

The George Horn Station

Station #1 is known as the George Horne Station, after Estero’s first Fire Chief. It became operational in August of 2002, and is located at the corner of US 41 and County Road, about ½ mile south of the original Estero Fire Station. Station #1 serves the northwest portion of the fire district, including the historic sections of Estero and the Koreshan State Historical Site.

EFR Station #2:

The Coconut Point Station

Station #2 is now open on Sweetwater Ranch Road, a new road that leads into the Rapallo Development and Coconut Point, directly across from the entrance to Fountain Lakes on US 41.. This station serves the densely populated southwest portion of the district, including the Coconut Point Town Center. While identical to the other stations on the inside, it looks different on the outside, matching the architecture of the surrounding development. As with all the new fire stations, EFR worked closely with the Estero Design Review Committee to make sure the stations blended well with the surrounding communities.

The Stoneybrook Station
