Fire Protection Growing with a Growing City
The Fountain Inn Fire Department can trace its roots to 1933. Then a volunteer organization, the record of service in the early part of the 20th century is remembered with great respect.
Currently the Fountain Inn Fire Department is lead by Chief Ronnie Myers.
The Fountain Inn Fire Department has evolved to meet the needs of a growing community. The department is a combination of 20 paid Firefighters, EMTs, and Paramedics, 7 Part-time, and 2 Volunteers. The Department works out of its headquarters station behind City Hall on Main Street and two substations. One substation is located on Jenkins Bridge Road and we share a station with Clear Spring Fire Department on East Georgia Road. With this, we provide full-time protection for the city and a 49.5 square mile area of Greenville and Laurens Counties.
Well equipped for fire and rescue in urban and rural environments, the department’s equipment includes four pumpers, a 100' platform truck, one service truck, 2 brush trucks, 1 squad, a utility pickup truck, two enclosed trailers with trench, hazmat, confined space, high and low angle rescue equipment in them.
