There are two services in Sumter County. One is Sumter County Fire and EMS (SCFEMS) and the other is the Villages Public Safety Department (VPSD).
The simplest way of thinking about it: If you are within the outline of the Villages then VPSD will be called. If you are outside the outline of the Villages then SCFEMS will be called.
There is a map on page 17 of this VPSD presentation (looks to be from 2021 or so) that shows the service area of the VPSD. Anything outside that area but within Sumter County is handled by SCFEMS.
