The Niceville Fire Department has installed a free Narcan distribution box at Niceville Fire Station, located at 216 Partin Drive North, providing community members with around-the-clock access to the life-saving opioid overdose reversal medication.
- The box, positioned directly in front of the building, is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It contains easy-to-use nasal spray doses of naloxone, step-by-step instructions for administration and information on local treatment and recovery resources.
“Our mission is to protect life, and this is one more way we can do that,” said Niceville Fire Chief Alex Kukulus. “By placing Narcan directly into the hands of the community, we are increasing the chances that an overdose can be reversed before it becomes fatal. Every second matters, so we want this medication to be widely available.”
The initiative aims to increase access to naloxone as a critical bystander intervention tool and to reduce preventable overdose deaths within the community.
- The program was made possible through a partnership with Okaloosa County EMS.
The Niceville Fire Department encourages anyone who may encounter an overdose situation to take advantage of the resource.
