Fire Department

 

 

The Airport Fire Department opened in October 1962 as part of what was then called the Greenville-Spartanburg Jetport. The station opened with one paid firefighter, several volunteers and one pumper/crash truck. 

 

Current staffing includes:

·         20 Certified Aircraft and Rescue Fire Fighters (ARFF)

·         11 of the 20 are also Emergency Medical Technicians

 

·         3 Crash Trucks

·         1 Rescue Mini/Pumper

·         1 Custom Pumper/Tanker

·         1 Heavy Rescue Service Truck

·         1 Brush Truck

 

We offer many services today as a progressive fire department. In addition to providing fire protection to the flying public, we also provide fire protection to the over 5 square miles of airport property, this includes all commercial structures, several major highways and some wildland areas. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Fire Department provides the following services:
