Jefferson County Fire Alliance & Special Operations Teams

The Jefferson County Fire Alliance is the collective and has become the funding head of the following associations and groups within the Jefferson County Fire Service: Fire Chiefs, Firefighters, Fire Inspectors, Fire Instructors, Fire Trustees, Public Information & Recruitment, and Special Operations.

The Special Operations teams consist of the Jefferson County Hazardous Materials Operations Team and the Jefferson County Special Operations Team, which is comprised of swift water, trench, collapse, confined space, and rope rescue teams.

A cache of special operations vehicles, trailers, and equipment is owned by the Fire Alliance or the two Special Operations teams and housed and staffed by various suburban fire districts, in addition to the specialty units owned by the suburban fire districts themselves.
