Fire District
Few organizations demonstrate the power of residents and business owners coming together better than the Jackson County Fire District. At its core the district is made up of ten volunteer fire departments throughout the unincorporated areas of the county. The Fire District has two main objectives- provide professional fire protection to rural property owners and lower the cost of fire insurance rates.
The district is overseen by the Fire District Manager and the Fire Commissioners. The Fire District Manager reports to the commissioners, who are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Fire District Coordinator is also responsible for district’s fiscal year budget and organizing fire prevention activities.
Contact the Volunteer Fire Department (list below) in specific areas individually.
If you are burning ONE (1) OR MORE ACRES,
You must contact the Forestry Commission in Wiggins
