Joining JCFD

There are a variety of reasons people become volunteer firefighters, but our main goal is to protect the lives and property of those we serve. At times this can mean placing one’s personal safety in danger while rescuing others.

Fire companies are paramilitary organizations; there are line officers and a chain of command. Line officers are responsible for commanding the actions of the firefighters and maintaining order at all calls.

Responsibilities of all firefighters include: Emergency Calls, Training, Work Details, Drills, Meetings, Committee Participation, Apparatus, Community Events and Firehouse Maintenance.

There are many challenges in firefighting but there are many benefits as well; including providing community service, fire prevention training, and social activities.

Once your application and fingerprints have been handed in, you will be placed on a 6 month probation. This time period will allow you to start work on your firefighter taskbook and attend training's and calls deemed necessary.
