Story

The Fire Department is charged with the protection of and/or the minimization of any impact to our citizens, visitors, and environment from the results of uncontrolled fire and/or disasters, either natural or man-made.

In addition to the traditional duties of fire suppression, fire prevention and public education, we also provide plans review, codes enforcement and inspections. We provide the community with a Tennessee Department of Health approved Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) responder program which operates under the authority of the Sevier County Emergency Medical Director. The ACLS program operates when we have a paramedic on duty. All personnel are certified as emergency medical technicians. We have personnel that are certified in accordance with NFPA standards in Vehicle Extrication, Swift Water Rescue, High Angle Rope Rescue, Confined Space Rescue and Hazardous Materials response. We now have 3 internationally certified Technical Rescue instructors and 1 Rescue 3 Corporate instructor. We are recruiting Reserve Firefighters as trainees from the Fire Chiefs Association Rookie School that have demonstrated superior skills and learning abilities. Those that join the program are offered advanced training to create a corps of prospective employees to meet our needs in the future.
