MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Clear Spring Fire Rescue is to provide excellent service to our community through prevention, education, and efficient emergency management.

Fire trucks and emergency vehicles with flashing lights are parked in front of a residential building at night. Yellow hoses are spread across the wet road, and the area is dimly lit by the vehicles' lights.

Clear Spring Fire Rescue protects the Five Forks Area located in Southeastern Greenville County, SC. The district covers 16.5 square miles with an estimated population of 21,000.
