About the Department

The Cherokee Creek Fire Department is a primarily volunteer fire department located in the Northwest Corner of Cherokee County, South Carolina. Situated just north of the City of Gaffney, we border Spartanburg County, SC as well as Cleveland and Rutherford Counties in North Carolina. Our primary protection area consists of 39 square miles of primarily rural residential area with a mix of commercial and industrial. Three major routes of travel through our area include Highway 11, Highway 221, and Highway 221A. The routes are traveled by visitors and tourist coming to explore sites including the Cowpens National Battlefield, the infamous “Peach” water tower and the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway.

Organized in 1978 as an “all volunteer” department, to date we have grown to a combination department, operating with 35 members and two fire stations answering upwards of 450 calls for service annually. Each station is staffed with a Fire Engine, Tanker, Brush / Medical Response unit, and Rescue Truck. In the year 2000 in order to keep up with growth and demand, the department hired 3 paid firefighters to staff our station between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm. Their duties include responding to emergency calls, Fire and Life Safety Inspections, Pre Fire Plans, Daily Station Duties and Fire Hydrant Maintenance and Inspections.
