Jupiter Fire Rescue Department

Today, we pause to honor those who gave everything in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it is a day of remembrance for the men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live, serve, and protect.

To all the Gold Star families in our community: we see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for your family's service.

From all of us at Jupiter Fire Rescue — thank you to those who came before us and laid down their lives in defense of freedom.

This morning started with more than just a ride to school — it started with a memory. ❤️🚒

One student from Jerry Thomas Elementary had the opportunity to arrive in style with Jupiter Fire Rescue, turning an ordinary school morning into a moment they’ll likely never forget. We hope it made for a pretty exciting start to the school day. 🔥

Today marked a major milestone for Jupiter Fire Rescue as 36 new firefighters officially began their first day with the Town of Jupiter. The group includes 12 Captains, 12 Lieutenants and 12 Driver Engineers, bringing with them more than 600 years of combined fire service experience. 🔥🚒

Their leadership, knowledge and dedication will help shape the future of Jupiter Fire Rescue as the department prepares to begin service on October 1.

We are proud to welcome these individuals to the team and look forward to continuing to build a department rooted in excellence, professionalism and service to the Jupiter community.

Before you hit the water — read this. 🌊

Beach season is here, and we want everyone to make it home safe. One of the biggest dangers at our beaches? Rip currents.

Rip currents can form quickly and pull even strong swimmers away from shore. If you’re caught in one:
➡️ Stay calm
➡️ Don’t fight the current
➡️ Swim parallel to shore until you’re out of it
➡️ Signal for help if needed

Before getting in the water:
🚩 Always check the beach flags
🛟 Swim near a lifeguard whenever possible
🌊 Know your limits — ocean conditions can change fast
👀 Keep a close eye on children at all times
🚫 Never swim alone

And remember — no flags or lifeguards does not always mean safe water.

Stay alert, stay aware, and stay safe, Jupiter. 💙

Save this and share it with someone heading to the beach this weekend.

As the Town prepares for the launch of Jupiter Fire Rescue on October 1, 2026, an important update is coming to how fire codes are applied in Jupiter.

The Town will transition to the 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 (𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔 𝟭 & 𝟭𝟬𝟭)—a statewide standard used across Florida.

✔️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁:

These changes will take effect October 2026.
More details will be shared in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Today we honor and recognize firefighters everywhere—the ones who show up, step in, and stand strong when it matters most.

With 90 firefighters joining and a swearing-in ceremony ahead, the future of Jupiter Fire Rescue is just getting started. 🔥

We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to officially being in service on October 1.

Tonight, the Town Council passed on first reading an ordinance that established the framework by which the Town would establish a non-ad valorem assessment to fund fire services and related capital needs.

This ordinance does not impose a non-ad valorem assessment or set any rate, but only establishes how the Town would implement the assessment should the Town Council choose to implement one.

A second reading of the ordinance will occur at the April 21 Town Council meeting. Should Town Council choose to proceed with the non-ad valorem assessment, a resolution would be considered on first reading at the May 5 Town Council meeting.

Town Council would make its final decision on using the non-ad valorem assessment, and establish the rates charged through it, at its June 16 meeting.
