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.

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.

Today, we honored the fallen. 🇺🇸
The Patriots Day Stair Climb brought us together for a day of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude as we climbed in honor of the 343 firefighters and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.
Every step carried a name. Every floor represented a life. And every person who climbed helped ensure that their sacrifice—and the sacrifices of so many first responders—will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out, climbed, supported, remembered, and stood alongside us today. Your presence reminds us that while 25 years have passed, the impact of that day remains—and so does our commitment to remember.
A very special THANK YOU to our sponsors and community partners who helped make our 4th Annual Patriots Day Stair Climb possible:
🇺🇸 Town & Country Realtors – The Katie Hale Team
🇺🇸 Allied Hose and Belting Co.
🇺🇸 Gospel Light Baptist Church

The job doesn’t stay at work. The challenges, stress, and experiences of being a first responder can impact the whole family—and that’s why we’re bringing you Thriving at Home: A First Responder Couples Workshop.
This workshop is designed specifically for first responders and their spouses/significant others and provides practical tools to strengthen communication, navigate the unique stresses of the job, and build a stronger relationship—together.
👮♂️ Police | 🚒 Fire
❤️ First Responders + Their Spouses/Significant Others
This is a private workshop exclusively for first responder families—not a public event.
Seats are limited, so eligible couples are encouraged to reserve their spot early.
Because behind every strong first responder is a strong family. ❤️

Yesterday was a special day as our recruit firefighters officially graduated, marking the completion of an incredible journey filled with hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and countless hours of training.
These recruits have been challenged physically and mentally while learning the skills necessary to serve their community. They’ve pushed through the tough days, supported one another, and earned the title they now proudly carry: Firefighter.
Their journey isn’t quite finished yet — one final challenge remains: passing their EMT-B practical examination and National Registry testing. Once they conquer that final hurdle, they’ll be ready to officially begin the next chapter of their careers.
We couldn’t be more proud of each of you and everything you’ve accomplished. Congratulations, recruits! You’ve come a long way, and we can’t wait to see where this career takes you. ... See MoreSee Less
