At Grant County Fire District #3, we understand that emergencies and crisis situations can be overwhelming—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. To support our firefighters, staff, volunteers, and community members, we proudly offer chaplain services, led by Chaplain Jeremy Fodge.

What Is a Fire District Chaplain?

A chaplain provides emotional and spiritual support to those affected by emergencies, whether it be fire district personnel, victims, or their families. Our chaplain is available to assist in times of crisis, offering guidance, comfort, and a compassionate presence when it’s needed most.

How Can a Chaplain Help?

Chaplain is available to:

• Support firefighters and staff dealing with the emotional toll of emergency response.
• Offer comfort to victims and families in times of crisis or loss.
• Assist with critical incident stress management for first responders.
• Provide spiritual guidance or be a listening ear for those in need.
• Help coordinate community support resources for those affected by emergencies.

Confidential & Voluntary Support

Chaplain services are confidential and available to anyone in need—whether you are a first responder, a fire district volunteer, or a community member facing a difficult situation. These services are completely voluntary and offered without religious obligation.
