FIRST PLACE FIREFIGHTER
Firefighter
Jesse Register
cares for the
community
he serves
BY JAMES BENNETT
jbennett@annistonstar.com
Lt. Jesse Register has been working at the Jacksonville Fire
Department for 19 years.
During that time, the 45-year-old firefighter has gained a rep-
utation for service to the community and for coaching younger
crew members.
“He’s been here for almost 20 years and cares for the com-
munity he serves,” Assistant Chief Randy Childs said. “You have
to have a servant’s heart, and he does. I think people recognize
that.”
Voters in The Anniston Star’s Reader’s Choice awards sure
do. Register was named Best Firefighter in the annual voting.
“The reason I became a lieutenant was to help with the
younger guys,” Register said. “The best way to take care of them
was to become a lieutenant. I can teach them what I know. I can
lead by example.”
The married father of two worked as a volunteer firefighter in
Angel before joining the Jacksonville Fire Department.
“I always was interested in firefighting, and it was a good
place to learn,” Register said.
Register’s wife, Haylee, of 20 years was on board with his
career decision. Her father was a firefighter.
“She knew what she was getting into,” said Register, who
works 24-hour shifts, followed by two days off.
Firefighters often deliver safety messages as part of their
duties. Register said he tells school children and homeowners
about the importance of smoke alarms.
“That’s the one message I would like to deliver to everyone
— make sure you have working smoke detectors,” he said. “I tell
kids that smoke detectors want new batteries for their birthdays,
meaning they need changing at least once a year.”
The stress of being a firefighter can take a toll. It also involves
EMS work, where Register and his colleagues often see serious
injuries.
“I could not do my job without support from my fellow fire-
