Welcome to the Tryon Fire
Department website!
Tryon is located on Highway
108 and Highway 176 in Polk County, North Carolina. We also serve
through a contract a portion of Greenville County, South Carolina (Lake
Lanier). Our department serves a population of 6,000 in a 15 square
mile district. We provide service not only to the Town of Tryon, but
also provide coverage to the Tryon Fire District as well. We currently
have an ISO rating of Class 5.
Our department has a roster of
30 members, and we respond to over 600 calls per year. Our department
provides both fire and medical coverage, and provides mutual aid to our
other 5 fire departments in Polk County, and also assists fire departments
in Spartanburg County (Landrum) and Greenville County (Glassy Mountain,
Gowensville).
I have been fortunate to serve
as Chief since April 2007, and am proud to serve with the dedicated men and
women that we have here. Most of our members have numerous
certifications, including Firefighter II, Live Burn Instructor,
Driver/Operator, Rescue Technician, Arson Investigation, and Hazardous
Materials Technician.
We currently offer such services
as free smoke detectors, educational classes, training for businesses and
industries, and tours of the fire station to mention a few. Our department
also handles all fire inspections within our district and participates in
the Polk County Arson Strike Team as well.
We have a Mayor, Town Council,
and Town Manager who govern us, and thanks to the support of our Town
Government we are a progressive department working on more adequately
serving our citizens.
