The Holley-Navarre Fire District began as the Holley-Navarre Volunteer Fire Department in 1965, and a group of concerned citizens ran it with no equipment or funding source. The HNFD is a full-time fire department, meaning that fire, rescue, and emergency services are provided to the community, with full-time staff providing 24-hour-a-day coverage. The Fire District covers approximately 50 square miles in the Southeast corner of Santa Rosa County. Bordering upon the Okaloosa County line on the East and West end border is St. Sylvester’s Church near Holley by the Sea, encompassing all of Navarre.
