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"

2026

September 2026 saw a modest increase of 3 calls over 2025 while October 2026 was only 1 call different from 2025. 

​

As of November 1st, we are currently maintaining the slightly lower trend of call volume compared to 2025 (-9.3%). However, at this point, even with this slight decrease in call volume we are on track to surpass 1000 annual calls for the second year in a row with 2 months to go!

2025

2025 resulted in yet again an all time record breaking year for call volume for your Jefferson R-7 Firefighters. The District ended 2025 with an astounding total of 1170 calls for service, far surpassing 2024's previous all time high of 925 calls. This equated to a 26.5% increase over 2024 call volume and an increase of 435 calls (59%) increase since 2020.
