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.

2026

After a busy 2025, we have finished January 2026 slightly slower in call volume than last year. 

​

Jan 2026 brought a total of 86 calls to start the new year, representing a -10% decrease in volume over January last year.

2024

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.
