The Broad River Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department, Inc. (BRVFD) provides fire, rescue, and medical services to approximately 3,000 residents and all those who visit. In addition to the 32+ square miles that we cover out of three stations we also respond to an additional 5 square miles located in two other counties. We have one full time Chief, and on average two part-time firefighter / EMT positions. BRVFD also has on average 28 dedicated volunteers who respond to alarms when available, an extremely appreciated Auxiliary, and an amazing Board of Directors who are elected by our residents. Our Volunteers generally average over 3200 hours of training each year. This is time that they are away from their families and their payment is pride along with those we serve giving them a thank you. Our main goal is to find feasible ways to save lives and property through training, education, and utilizing more modern equipment. Our annual call volume has been steadily increasing from approximately 60 calls per year in 2008 to 300 in 2025.
