What We Do
Education begins with an extensive and comprehensive firefighter recruit training program; after graduation, training does not stop there. Each member of the fire district is constantly involved in continuing education on various subjects to help further their knowledge and skills. Training does not only happen on the local level; members even travel to non-local destinations to receive specialty training.
The fire district has an extensive “Training Matrix” program that allows a firefighter to develop professionally over time while simultaneously being educated and mentored by senior members of the fire district. Every shift, the firefighters of the South Spartanburg Fire District train with one another on different subjects and scenarios to better prepare themselves for the needs of the community during an emergency.
