The Walt Disney World Fire Department has completed removing visible references to the former Reedy Creek Improvement District from its fire station. This change occurred more than three years after the district was officially renamed the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. The building previously displayed large RCFD lettering on both the front and side of the station, but that branding has now been replaced with only FD remaining on the side. Above the front entrance, the original RCFD lettering has also been removed from its position. Additionally, a large yellow firefighter helmet above the entrance that featured an RCFD seal has been painted over in white. A red sign outside the station was updated to display the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District name and logo instead of the old branding. These changes mark another visible piece of the former Reedy Creek identity disappearing from Walt Disney World property as part of a broader transition following the 2023 renaming.
