Do not fill this in! ===Firefighting=== In its early days, the town of Palm Beach depended heavily on the city of West Palm Beach for firefighting efforts. The Flagler Alerts, a volunteer firefighting group which later became the West Palm Beach Fire Department, responded to fires in Palm Beach by traversing the Intracoastal Waterway via ferry or railroad. Delayed response times and high insurance rates eventually led Palm Beach to establish its own fire-rescue department in December 1921.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.townofpalmbeach.com/810/Expanded-History|title=Expanded History|publisher=Town of Palm Beach|access-date=April 23, 2020}}</ref> Today, the Palm Beach Fire Rescue has three stations, retains 82 employees – 75 full-time and 7 part-time, and annually responds to approximately 2,600 calls.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.townofpalmbeach.com/226/About-the-Department|title=About the Department|publisher=Town of Palm Beach|access-date=April 23, 2020}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
