Jackson Fire Department

‼️Office of the Fire Chief‼️

Another great week of service, dedication, and teamwork across the Jackson Fire Department!

This week, our personnel continued answering the call when our citizens needed us most, while also investing in professional development through HOT training evolutions that strengthen our skills and readiness for emergency response.

We proudly celebrated the graduation of our JFD Kids Academy participants, recognizing a new group of young leaders who spent time learning about fire safety, teamwork, and public service.

We also had the privilege of honoring Mrs. Wanda Ayers during her retirement celebration, thanking her for 26 years of dedicated service and wishing her nothing but success and happiness in this next chapter of life.

As a department family, we also ask that you keep our team member, Brannard Turner, and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of his son. During times of sorrow, we stand together in support, compassion, and strength.

Thank you to all of our firefighters, civilian employees, community partners, volunteers, and supporters who help make our mission possible every day.

Have a blessed weekend everyone! 🙏🏾
~RaSean O. Thomas, Fire Chief

JFD Kids Academy Graduation Day! 🚒🎓

Today, we proudly celebrated the graduation of our JFD Kids Academy campers at The Bean Path! Over the course of the academy, these young leaders learned valuable lessons in fire safety, teamwork, leadership, CPR, and community service while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The day was made even more exciting with engaging STEM activities that challenged campers to think creatively, solve problems, and explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These hands-on experiences helped inspire the next generation of innovators, leaders, and possibly future firefighters!

Congratulations to all of our graduates on a job well done! We are proud of each and every one of you and look forward to seeing all the great things you will accomplish in the future.
