The City of Jesup
Fire Department is comprised of forty-five paid and volunteer personnel
that serves both the City of Jesup
and Wayne County. The Departments’ responsibilities
and services covers areas of fire suppression,
fire prevention, code enforcement, and emergency medical response.
Fire code enforcement falls under the duties of the chief in coordination
with the cities’ building code inspector. Through both offices, building
specifications and life safety codes are ensured in new construction.
In addition to proper code enforcement, the fire department continues
to utilize live fire training with sub standard buildings to assist
in removing those that pose a public hazard. 
The
fire prevention program has fast become the City of Jesup Fire
Departments’ most active division. The department purchased
the fire safety house in 1999 to enhance its safety education
for school age children. The safety house along with the fire safety
program is used throughout Wayne County
and several surrounding counties. Annually,the fire
safety educators teach over forty seven hundred students in
fire awareness. In addition to fire safety education, the Jesup
Fire
Department is the host agency for The Georgia Safe Kids Organization
in the
southeast area. Through this program, the department is capable
of installing child restraint seats by having certified car seat
technicians
within the department. The Safe Kids program also allows the
fire department to have a supply of car seats to loan and install
to
needy families and, it supplies the department with smoke detectors
that
are installed in low income or high risk houses.
