Calming Fears. Easing Minds. Saving Lives.
Originated in 1972, we are an all volunteer fire department, located about six miles east of the city of Aiken, South Carolina, in the rural community called Couchton. We serve 75 square miles with ten vehicles and a current membership of thirty firefighters, support personnel, and young cadets. We provide fire protection, first responder medical calls, response and removal of individuals trapped in wrecked vehicles, and even help clear roadways after storms.
We are here for our community, assisting as quickly and as efficiently as is humanly possible. Whether it's a fire, medical need, or anything in between, we respond. When our neighboring districts need assistance with their calls, we provide Mutual Aid. For the citizens of our community as well as those traveling through it, we are at the ready.
We train every Tuesday evening, combining hands-on practice with class lecture. We clean and service our tools and equipment to make sure everything is in working order. All that we learn and do prepares us to better serve our community of 6,000 citizens while keeping ourselves as safe as possible. We train as if our life depends on it, because in many cases it does.
