The Cheraw Fire Department is a combination paid volunteer department located in eastern Chesterfield County, South Carolina. We have an ISO class 3. The department is responsible for providing fire protection for the Town of Cheraw and the rural area out side the town limits. We do this with a total of 10 full time personnel. We have 9 on a 24/48-shift rotation, the Chief who works Mon-Fri. We depend heavily on our 19 on-call personnel to complete the department. Daily responsibilities for the full time staff included general cleaning around the station, cleaning and checking the equipment on the 9 trucks at the station, two equipment trailers, and “other duties as needed”.

We also have an active Fire Prevention program with station tours along with visits to school, civic clubs, and churches in the community. There are 5 full time personnel that are fire/arson investigators that determine the cause and origin of fire. Five of our personnel are also certified State Fire Marshals that conduct inspection and pre-planning of local business and industry.

Why Cheraw Fire Department?

We pay for all the training needed to become a fire fighter as well as additional fire department related training a firefighter may want to take. We have a LOSAP program in place as well do compensate the volunteers for attendance at fires, meetings, and special events. We provide a supper 3 times and year and a special “Ladies Night” supper in December. All necessary PPE is also provided to each member.
