CHAPTER
9. FIRE DEPARTMENT AND PREVENTION
Editor’s Note. The Fire Department was previously codified in the 1976
Town Code as part of Chapter 2 of Title 2, entitled “Public Safety.” In
this codification, it was felt more appropriate to include it as a
separate chapter.
Many
cities in this state have made arrangements with their respective
counties for fire service. The Town of Campobello has such an
arrangement with Spartanburg County, and the service is provided by fire
fighters who must be certified by the state.
The
department is a town department. Equipment is owned individually by the
town, and funding is provided by both the town and county, as well as
volunteer fund-raisers. All firefighters are volunteers who must be
approved by the state.
This
chapter derives from requirements of state law, and generally accepted
municipal practices.
