From what I understand, Citrus County merged Fire-Rescue, 911 Dispatch, EMA, Animal Control, and law enforcement into one Public Safety Department, under the direction of the Sheriff, like a public safety director.  Fire-Rescue is a combination of paid, on-call and volunteer staff, led by a Fire Chief who reports to the Sheriff.  Unlike many P.S.D.'s, there is no cross-training between divisions, although Sheriff's Deputies can be volunteers.  Every Firefighter I have talked with seems happy with the arrangement.

  We continued in Sumter County on Saturday morning, but the weather wasn't much better.

   As the weather cleared a bit, we went back to the antique truck show as there was supposed to be more apparatus on display.

We finished up Saturday in Ocala.  Two of the stations we stopped at were using reserve pumpers.
