Laurens County Fire Department

Laurens County Fire Services is the county government office that oversees and supports fire protection across Laurens County, a mix of career and volunteer departments working together to protect the county's communities. The office is led by a Director of Fire Services who administers fire suppression, disaster management, fire prevention, and public education programs on behalf of the county.

The department organizes its work around a set of stated core values -- professionalism, integrity, compassion, responsibility and accountability, respect, diversity, commitment, teamwork, and health and safety -- which it applies to both day-to-day operations and long-term planning as community needs evolve.

Because Laurens County relies on a blended career/volunteer model, the county's Fire Services office also acts as a coordinating body for the county's many individual fire departments, connecting residents and prospective members to the appropriate local department while providing overall direction for county fire protection.

The Laurens County Human Resources Department handles all applicant services for individuals seeking employment with the county, including Fire Services positions.
