The Greer Fire Department’s history began in 1914 as the Greer Volunteer Fire Company Number 1, using a horse-drawn wagon to fight fires. In 1919, the city purchased its first motorized fire engine, and Sam O. Mahaffey became the first full-time paid firefighter. Today’s department continues its legacy of service and dedication to the community.

In committed service to our community where we live, work, and play.
