Message from the Chief

I am proud to be the Fire Chief of Useppa Island. There are vast opportunities and potential to ensure the communities safety. There is also a tremendous amount of work to create a sustainable FIRE & EMS structure for everyone that lives, works and visits Useppa.  Accomplishing our goals will be based on my communication and collaboration with each group.

Building partnerships and friendships is always the first step to a successful venture. I am developing partnerships with the Useppa Club, other local Fire Departments and their respected Chiefs, Coast Guard, Law Enforcement, in combination with Lee County and Lee County EMS to support our success. 

As we continue to evolve, I will do my due diligence to ensure that your investment is managed, and your service is applicable. I look forward to the future development of our department. I will take pride in our accomplishments, while continuing my own growth through experience, education, and fulfillment… my door is always open, so please stop by say “hello” and have a chat!  

Lastly, I want to thank the executive board for providing me the support and resources to operate.

Respectfully,

Robert McGilloway, CFO, CTO

Fire Chief, Useppa Island Fire Rescue
