A proposed Florida tax reform could lead to significant job losses for Martin County firefighters. Over one-third of the county's fire rescue personnel may face layoffs. Alternatively, the county could close three fire stations and eliminate specialized rescue teams. These potential cuts are slated for fiscal years 2028 and 2029. The Fire Rescue department warns of these severe consequences if the tax proposal is enacted.
