RUTHERFORD COUNTY FIRE RESCUE

Chief Larry Farley

Recently three volunteer fire departments and two resue squads in Rutherford County were combined together to form the new Rutherford County Fire Rescue Department. The department is headed by Fire Chief Larry Farley in a full time paid position. Currently, personnel under him work on a volunteer basis. Since its inception the department has been making great strides in improving services to citizens of the county by increasing training requirements and staffing availabilities of departments. In recent months average response times to motor vehicle accidents have dropped from 16 minutes to 6.8 minutes and fire responses have also dramatically decreased. .

The county is also blessed with the resources of 8 other Volunteer Fire Departments as listed below. These departments consist of volunteers who expend countless hours of training and response time outside of there normal lives. They selflessly risk their own personal safety on each and every run they make. These volunteers are dedicated to protecting life and property for the citizens of Rutherford County while receiving limited funding from outside sources. These departments depend largely on contributions/donations from the people they serve. Not all of these departments have an on-line web site, however those who do please feel free to navigate the below links to gain more insight and information on the fire district that serves you! Linked VFD's are indicated in BLUE.
