Episode 9-15 – Assistant Chief Jacob Johnson
We are proud to have Asst. Chief Jacob Johnson from the Pearland Fire Department in Pearland TX.
Jacob first joined us on “5-Alarm task Force,” when he was a Captain. And it was easy to see how dedicated he was, and still is, of course, to being the best firefighter and officer that he could be.
In this episode, we discuss the “how and why” of, not only his success, but that of the department. With their seventh station already on the way, they also have plans for Station 8 and Station 9. We discuss the remarkable success of the Pearland Fire Department and how successful their recruiting efforts are.
Beyond recruiting, their retention level is particularly good. As Jacob tells it, one of the most important criteria is treating their residents as well as their members as “family.”

We still your help to raise funds for our Brothers and Sisters who were deeply involved in the major fires. Please remember, many, many of the firefighters who fought, “tooth & nail” the major blazes, but they lost their homes, vehicles, clothes, etc. Please visit our website at https://www.5-AlarmTaskForceCorp.org.
