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.

One of the greatest responsibilities of a firefighter is passing knowledge on to the next generation.
Today, Firefighter Billy Zabriskie volunteered his time to spend the day with our current recruit class, sharing his expertise and providing hands-on ladder training. His willingness to invest in these future firefighters reflects the dedication, professionalism, and pride that make the fire service so special.
The skills taught today will help prepare our recruits for the challenges ahead and strengthen the safety of both our department and the community we serve. Thank you, Billy, for leading by example and helping shape the firefighters of tomorrow.
