Responding to Over 10,000 Calls Each Year

CJC responds to over 10,000 calls for help every year for fires, emergency medical care, hazardous materials incidents, and heavy rescue needs. Our responses vary based on the need, but can range from and inspector changing a smoke detector battery, to CJCares helping a citizen find needed resources, to a full emergency medical or fire response with advance life support fire trucks and ambulances. CJC provides a high level of service for all the needs of our communities; service they expect and deserve.
