JTVFD routinely graphs & reviews our call volume. Because most of our calls are between the hours of 8am to 11pm, we decided to run a full crew during the day, 8am through 4pm- when most our volunteers are at their primary job. The crew consists of 3 firefighters. Then, from 4pm to 8pm we have 2 firefighters on duty.  After 8pm, there are 2 firefighters on duty and a fire/rescue person who has volunteered to respond to calls that night. The remainder of the volunteers are ready to respond if a call needs more personnel. 

We do not hire part time employees, as our goal is to give the volunteers the opportunity to sign up to fill these shifts. Volunteers must live within 5 miles of our JTVFD district to become a volunteer with the department, and they must be an active member to sign up for shifts.

In addition to our valued members who have acquired their firefighter training using their own personal time, JTVFD has been fortunate to have recruited fully trained, certified firefighters from DeKalb, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, John's Creek, Sandy Springs, Walton, West Jackson, and Winder Fire Departments. 

JTVFD is comprised of well trained, dedicated firefighters & support personnel willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
