Lake Nona is a small (yet growing larger by the minute) town that is South East of Orlando and just outside of the Orlando international airport. The, used to be rural, area has been developed with a mixed plan for its future. Lake Nona seems to have been put on the map almost overnight due to the establishment of the so called “Medical City”. The city is around 7,000 acres of what used to be a

This is a concern in Florida because in most of the state, groundwater is very close to the surface and it provides drinking water to around 90% of residents. Fortunately, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) tracks petroleum releases and in some cases helps remediate (clean up) the sites. In this post, we’ll talk a bit about how

Fire Stations in Orlando Florida

The city of Orlando has 24 fire and rescue stations within its borders. By looking at our MoveMap, you can see that the stations are distributed fairly evenly across Orlando, though there are more total facilities in the denser downtown areas than in suburbs. Most fire stations are public and therefore run by the government, but a few are private.

Fire stations are an essential part of any community; without them, emergencies simply wouldn’t be dealt with. However, living near a fire station in
