Jupiter Fire Rescue Department

At its meeting on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, the Jupiter Town Council directed Town staff to create the Jupiter Fire Rescue Department (JFRD) to deliver excellent levels of fire and rescue service at a lower, more sustainable cost to residents and businesses. This direction came after 18 months of negotiations with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and an exhaustive feasibility study by the Center for

Public Safety Management (CPSM). Read the full study here, and view a summary presentation here. JFRD WILL PROVIDE LOCAL CONTROL:
Creating the new JFRD will allow the Jupiter Town Council to have local control over costs, operations, and levels of service. It will also allow the Council to make fiscally-responsible decisions on behalf of Jupiter’s residents and businesses, and will significantly decrease the cost of fire rescue and emergency services compared to what is charged by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR), currently and into the future. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY:
Over the 10-year timeframe of the current interlocal agreement, Jupiter taxpayers will save $50-70 million by establishing the JFRD. In Fiscal Year 2027, the first year in which JFRD will provide provide service, the average homesteaded single-family home in Jupiter ($443,833 of taxable value) will save at a minimum of $173 and up to $930 in property taxes as compared to what is charged by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Over the first five years of the JFRD, the savings will be a minimum of $883 and as much as $4,593. The Town of Jupiter has always done an exceptional job at managing its financial position, which will allow the Town to start the JFRD through a combination of cash, financial debt, and ad valorem taxes. Even when start-up costs and financing costs are incorporated, Jupiter residents and businesses will pay far less in taxes once the JFRD is operational than they currently pay to PBCFR for the same service. CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE:
The Town of Jupiter has established a culture of excellence in regards to public safety. The Jupiter Police Department sets this benchmark every day, and JFRD will start its service from a position of excellence on day one. MOVING FORWARD:
The Town is in the implementation phase of the JFRD, which will begin service on October 1, 2026. The Town will receive fire rescue and EMS services from PBCFR until that time under the current interlocal agreement.

⚾🚒 What a night at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium!

Jupiter Fire Rescue was honored to be part of tonight’s game, with Division Chief Kevin Martin throwing out the ceremonial first pitch and Lieutenant Samantha Lobsinger delivering an incredible rendition of the National Anthem.

Thank you to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium for partnering with us and helping bring our team and community together for a memorable evening.

With firefighters and staff serving across multiple stations and shifts, opportunities to have our entire team together are rare. Tonight was more than a baseball game — it was a chance to connect, celebrate, and recognize the people building the future of Jupiter Fire Rescue.

As we prepare to officially serve our community as one department, moments like these remind us that behind every station, truck, and call for service is a team committed to serving Jupiter.

Thank you to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium for welcoming us and making this special night possible. 🚒⚾❤️

Today, we celebrated the official ribbon cutting and push-in ceremony for Station 10 — a milestone that represents more than a new building. It represents a commitment to public safety, service, and the future of our community.

The tradition of the push-in ceremony dates back to the days of horse-drawn fire apparatus, when firefighters would physically push equipment back into the station after returning from a call. Today, that tradition continues as a symbol of pride, teamwork, and readiness to serve.

As we officially open the doors of Station 10, we honor the generations of firefighters who came before us while looking ahead to the future of Jupiter Fire Rescue.

Thank you to our elected officials, community partners, residents, and dedicated personnel who helped make this day possible.

A special thank you to Jupiter Donuts for helping sweeten the celebration with some delicious donuts to start the day.

Welcome home, Station 10. ❤️🚒

Today, we pause to honor those who gave everything in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it is a day of remembrance for the men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live, serve, and protect.

To all the Gold Star families in our community: we see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for your family's service.

From all of us at Jupiter Fire Rescue — thank you to those who came before us and laid down their lives in defense of freedom.

This morning started with more than just a ride to school — it started with a memory. ❤️🚒

One student from Jerry Thomas Elementary had the opportunity to arrive in style with Jupiter Fire Rescue, turning an ordinary school morning into a moment they’ll likely never forget. We hope it made for a pretty exciting start to the school day. 🔥

05/11/2026

Today marked a major milestone for Jupiter Fire Rescue as 36 new firefighters officially began their first day with the Town of Jupiter. The group includes 12 Captains, 12 Lieutenants and 12 Driver Engineers, bringing with them more than 600 years of combined fire service experience. 🔥🚒

Their leadership, knowledge and dedication will help shape the future of Jupiter Fire Rescue as the department prepares to begin service on October 1.

We are proud to welcome these individuals to the team and look forward to continuing to build a department rooted in excellence, professionalism and service to the Jupiter community.
