Come work with us!
​​We are always looking for District Residents who are willing to serve their community by becoming a Volunteer Firefighter with our District! Experience is not required. Equipment, training and basic uniforms are provided! While we have on-duty crew members 24/7/365, Volunteers remain integral to our operations as a Combination Department and receive "call pay" for each call attended. If interested, stop by the station or call Chief Earls during business hours to discuss the position and its requirements.
District Activity "By the Numbers"

2025 thus far...up,up, and away!
2025...calls, Calls, CALLS!
Jefferson R-7 Firefighters handled 99 calls in November 2025. This was 25% more than November 2024 and marks a new record call volume for that month. This also marks the first time in our Department's history that we have ever broken the 1000 annual call barrier.
​
While we don't know what final call total will be, we are still running 26.5% above last year at the end of November and have already exceeded 1100 calls in December with more than half the month to go!
