About
The Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department is a full-service emergency response agency with six stations serving 4,200 square miles across Jackson and Teton County. The combined department is comprised of a 123-member team — including both career staff and volunteers, medical directors, and command officers. This team is responsible for responding to emergencies ranging from structure fires and medical calls to backcountry incidents.
The Department’s mission — Prepare. Prevent. Protect. — guides every decision made in service to the community. The team prepares by training, equipping, and planning for the unexpected; prevents harm through engagement and risk-reduction initiatives; and protects life, property, and the environment with professionalism and compassion.
A Legacy of Service
in Jackson Hole
The Jackson Town Council established a volunteer fire force on December 7, 1936, appointing George Lamb as the first Fire Chief. The town’s first fire truck — a 1930 Ford still used in parades today — arrived in 1939.
Over the decades, the Department expanded to meet the valley’s growing needs, adding stations in Wilson, Hoback, Alta, Moran, and Adams Canyon.
In 2004, Teton County EMS merged with the Fire Department, forming Jackson Hole Fire/EMS. Today, the Department serves 4,200 square miles through seven stations, uniting career staff and volunteers in one mission — to protect Jackson Hole with courage and care.
The Stations
Teton County has seven fire stations, but when an incident occurs, responders from across the valley step in — regardless of station affiliation.
The Foundation supports all members, ensuring they have the resources they need to stay ready when our community is in need.
