Pickens Fire Department Preventative Services

How it works

The City of Pickens Fire Department says its mission is to protect lives and property through fire suppression, rescue, disaster preparedness, fire prevention, and community education. It offers several preventative services that residents can request by contacting the department.

What the money covers

This is not a cash program. The page lists free services and trainings, including:

• Routine inspections
• Code enforcement
• Education
• Fire cause and origin investigations
• Extinguisher training using the Bullex Fire Extinguisher Training System
• CPR training focused on pre-arrival CPR

Amounts and matching

There is no grant amount, reimbursement amount, or match requirement because the benefit is a free service. The page explicitly says extinguisher training is free, and CPR training is free and takes about 20 minutes.

How to apply

Homeowners or residents should contact the fire department to schedule any listed service or to ask about other assistance they may need. The page provides contact information for Fire Chief Chris Elrod.

Timing and deadlines

No application window, deadline, or funding cycle is stated on the page.

Additional details

The fire department is located at 302 Johnson St., Pickens, SC 29671. The page also notes that in emergencies people should always call 911.
