About the Foundation
The mission of the JH Fire/EMS Foundation is to support the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department and its members by promoting recruitment and retention of personnel, professional education, personal safety, quality of life, and community education, thereby improving public safety in Teton County, Wyoming.
The Foundation exists to support the people who show up when we need them the most.
The Jackson Hole Fire/EMS department members are part of a full-service emergency agency with six stations covering 4,200 square miles across Jackson and Teton County.
On average, the team includes 123 dedicated members: 27 career staff, 75 volunteers, 2 medical directors, 6 chiefs, and 13 administrative and support personnel.
By funding training and wellness initiatives, The Foundation helps ensure our responders are always ready to serve—anytime the tones drop.
