Fire Division
The Fire
Division is a full service life safety organization protecting about 20 square
miles and nearly 40,000 people who live and work in the City of Spartanburg.
The Fire Chief leads a staff of 77 sworn and civilian dedicated fire protection
professionals. The Division is comprised of three organizational units.
Sixty-nine fire fighters and fire officers provide fire suppression, technical
rescue, hazardous material responses, and other services from five fire stations
24-hours daily. The Office of Fire Prevention is staffed by a Fire Marshal and
three fire inspectors, and delivers comprehensive code enforcement, plans
review, public education, and investigative programs. Fire prevention and
suppression personnel are supported by a training officer, a heavy apparatus
mechanic, and an administrative aide. The Division’s motto, “Preservation
through Prevention”, is an expression of its commitment to building and
maintaining a safe, prosperous, and vibrant community through effective fire
prevention and emergency preparedness programs. The Division holds an ISO class
2 rating, and is one of only 122 fire departments nationwide to achieve
international accreditation through the Commission on Fire Accreditation
International.
