FIRE DEPARTMENT
The
Jeffersonville Fire Department was founded in 1871. The Fire
Department is a all-union, all career department, and received
its Union Charter in 1938 (Local 558).
The Jeffersonville Fire Department provides fire suppression ,
heavy rescue, non-transport E.M.S., hazmat and we are currently
working towards our certification in water rescue.
The Jeffersonville Fire Department serves approximately 30
square miles from 3 fire stations. The department will soon
build a station 4, and hire the personnel to adequately man a
additional Engine Company.
The Jeffersonville Firefighters made 1650 incidents in 1999, and
with strong, positive growth in our community, the Firefighters
welcome the additional challenges.
Our mission statement says it all "Saving Lives, Property and
the Environment 24 hours a day 7 days a week, in a timely
manner".
