September 28, 2022, is a day that none of us will ever forget. In a matter of hours, homes were destroyed, businesses were devastated, familiar landmarks disappeared, and the island community we all love was changed in ways we could never have imagined. But Ian also showed the world something we already knew about Sanibel. This island is resilient!!
Today, we remember what was lost, recognize how far our island has come, and honor the people who make Sanibel what it is. Through hurricanes, emergencies, rebuilding, and whatever challenges may come, your fire district remains committed to one simple promise. We are here for you!
