The City of Inverness Fire Department is proud to be the first officially designated Safe Place and Safe Haven site in Citrus County.

"Safe Place" stands for a national program that reaches out to youth to create a network of safe places to deal with difficult situations like problems at home, being locked out of their home, or a dating situation that became dangerous.

"Safe Haven" is a statewide safety program that is available to help struggling mothers reduce newborn abandonment in Florida.
