Our department includes a diverse group of 54 personnel working collectively to protect the quality of life in the City of Mauldin and the Mauldin Fire Service Area from all predictable hazards through prevention, emergency response and by engaging our community partners. We accomplish the mission of protecting quality of life by engaging in the activities you, as citizens, are participating. You will find us at festivals, corporate family days, charitable fund raisers and a variety of other events providing important fire safety information. Our department is also in active partnership in student programs such as our Firefighter Explorer Post and the Golden Strip Career Centers’ Firefighter Development curriculum. These programs give students exposure to the activities and requirements of fire service as a career and provide mentoring opportunities to those seeking public service as a profession. Our personnel also provide extensive public safety education programs to schools, daycares and community groups through interactive opportunities such as puppet shows, station tours and an annual fire prevention festival. We also offer medical first response at events such as Miracle League, Mauldin High School football games, 5k races and events such as the annual “Easter Egg Drop”. You will notice our Fire Marshals in your places of employment partnering with business owners to ensure a safe work environment through life safety inspections or providing fire extinguisher training. You will notice our firefighters “pre-planning” commercial buildings so accurate information is available should an emergency occur. Our personnel train each shift and regularly attend professional development opportunities which empowers them to provide a high level of service in the areas of fire suppression, medical first response, hazardous materials response and technical rescue. Through our community involvement, we hope to reduce the need for you to call us for our traditional role as emergency responders. But if you do, be assured you will receive the same high quality response provided by the Mauldin Fire Department since our beginning in 1958.
