Meet the Local Heroes of the Antioch Fire Department
The First Fire Protection District of Antioch / Antioch Fire Department includes 90 firefighters and first responders who operate out of three firehouses within the area. Our District is unique in that Antioch does not employ a full-time fire department staff; instead our crew of 90 alternate shifts, ensuring a fully operational emergency response crew that manages calls 24/7.
Meet our long-term crew members and our chief!


Fire Chief Jon Cokefair
Chief Cokefair serves as the Department’s first fire chief since it merged with the First Fire Protection District of Antioch. Chief Cokefair has more than three decades of experience in emergency response and firefighting. He and his family are long standing residents of Lake County, and Chief Cokefair represents the Fire District on Lakecomm's Board of Directors. This is Lake County's new consolidated Dispatch Center (Opening in Spring of 2025)
