We exist to save people and protect property.
Fire Safety
We provide life-saving education to people living in Powdersville, including everyone from students at schools to residents of living facilities. If you are interested in our department coming to teach Fire Safety to your school, business, church, or facility, send us a message and a member of our team will contact you soon.
Fire Suppression
From residential and commercial structure fires to those caused by vehicle accidents and severe weather, our fire department responds to approximately 50 fires per year. Though each fire is different, our goal is the same for everyone: save people and protect property.
Vehicle Accidents
We are responsible for the safety and wellbeing of motorists traveling in an area covering 19 square miles. At our busiest intersections, more than 31,000 cars travel through Powdersville, which creates more calls related to vehicle accidents than anything else we respond to.
Medical Services
We respond to more than 100 calls a year related to cardiac events, lifting assistance, and patients not breathing. Though Powdersville is primarily serviced by the Pelzer Rescue Squad, who has been serving Anderson County since 1966, our Firefighters provide medical services on a routine basis.
