Capital City Fire Rescue is a phenomenal organization that serves the citizens and visitors of Juneau and the outlying communities throughout Southeast Alaska. CCFR is comprised of 46 dedicated full-time personnel and over 60 dedicated volunteer personnel who service the community. CCFR's mission statement is "to serve and protect the community from life and property threatening emergencies in a competent, professional, and proactive manner." This is accomplished by providing service through education, mitigation, prevention, and readiness.

CCFR responds to over 4,000 calls annually divided between 2 career and 3 volunteer stations. These calls range from structural firefighting and aircraft firefighting to medical emergencies and ice, water, rope, and high angle rescues. Additionally air rescue services are a regular activity with CCFR. EMS incidents account for approximately 80% of total call volume.

The career stations are staffed by a total of 12 personnel on a 24-shift with over 16 apparatus consisting of rescue boats, medic units, engines, trucks, and squad units. All apparatus are staffed to provide ALS service.

Career personnel work a 24 hour shift with 48 hours off. Career personnel are represented by IAFF Local 4303 and covered under collective bargaining. Career personnel are also allowed to carry pagers for larger incidents requiring more staffing needs. Additionally, career personnel may trade shifts as the need arises. Cross training is a must as each member may be called on to provide EMS, fire suppression, aircraft rescue firefighting, technical rope rescue, hazardous materials, and much more.
