The Jackson Fire + Rescue Community Safety Fund
Did you know: City funding covers essential fire rescue support, but there are limitations to funding progressive community safety advancements. Over 94% of our annual operating budget is allocated toward department salaries and benefits. Donations, community support, and business partnerships allow us to improve our services while expanding our community safety, training, and preparedness efforts in our growing city.
We’re proud to accept donations from individuals, local businesses, and corporations to support the mission of Jackson Fire & Rescue Department. These generous contributions strengthen our fire and life safety initiatives, extend training for our personnel, and invest in advanced technology to better serve our community. Your support truly makes a lasting impact on the safety and well-being of everyone we serve.
Your donation to the Jackson Fire & Rescue Community Safety Fund strengthens our ability to protect local life and property through fire rescue, prevention, and emergency medical response.
Our History
The Jackson Fire Department has a long and proud history of serving our community with compassion and dedication. Our community risk reduction campaigns are designed to improve the health and safety of the Jackson community. Since our founding in 1882, we have grown from a small team of volunteers to a modern, highly trained emergency response force. We have specialized teams for High-Angle Rescue, Hazardous Materials, Vehicle Extrication, Confined Spaces, and more. Our mission is clear and vital: provide exceptional fire protection, emergency medical and risk reduction services to the citizens of Jackson, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

❤️🚑 Help us congratulate Paramedic Justin Mosier on being named Jackson Fire Department’s Member of the Quarter!
Justin is a true example of the heart of public service. If he encounters a citizen in need, he finds a way to help—often going above and beyond and quietly giving what he can to make someone else’s day a little better.
His positive attitude, compassion, and genuine pride in serving the Jackson community are evident in everything he does.
Justin, thank you for reminding us that being a first responder is about more than answering the call—it’s about caring for the people behind it. We’re proud to have you on the JFD team! ❤️🚒
Congratulations, Justin! ... See MoreSee Less

Capt. Collis was not harmed in the making of this video… though his pride is a different story. 😅🔥
If things get a little too spicy in the kitchen, just remember P.A.S.S.:
Pull the pin
Aim at the base of the fire (not the flames!)
Squeeze the handle
Sweep side-to-side
🚨 Pro tips:
Get everyone out & call 911 first.
NEVER turn your back on a fire—it loves a comeback story.
Keep an ABC fire extinguisher at home (it handles ordinary combustibles, liquids, and electrical fires).
Stay safe, friends! 🧯✨ ... See MoreSee Less

🚒 Service to our citizens isn’t always about putting out fires.
Firefighters are problem solvers. When there’s a problem, you can usually find a firefighter who’s willing to look at the situation, come up with a plan, and figure out how to get the job done.
Today, Rescue 2 put those problem-solving skills to work when they were called to help with a very tiny—and very determined—passenger. 🐱
A kitten had managed to get itself stuck inside the engine compartment of a truck. After a little teamwork, patience, and figuring out the best way to approach the situation, Rescue 2 successfully got the little guy out safely. ❤️
No fire. No emergency hoses. Just firefighters doing what they do best: serving their community and finding a way to help.
And yes… today’s rescue came with a little extra purr-pose. #🐾🚒 ... See MoreSee Less
