Welcome to Sequatchie Vol. Fire Department's Official Website
ISO SCORE OF 5/5y
|
The mission of the Sequatchie Vol. Fire Department is to provide high quality fire emergency responses and community support services to the citizens and visitors within Sequatchie and Marion County, so they can work and reside in a community where an all-hazard response minimizes harm to life, property and environment.
TO REPORT AN EMERGENCY
All fire or rescue related emergency calls are handled by the Marion County Emergency Communications Center E-911. Upon receipt of the call, dispatchers are trained to receive the necessary information in order to correctly dispatch the appropriate units. 911 should always be used to report emergencies for two reasons: First, because 911 lines are considered priority lines and are manned 24 hours a day. Second, the fire and rescue department is not manned at all hours since our department is made up of volunteers. Also, the 911 interface, the phone records transfer the address into the dispatchers' computer thus saving time consuming data entry and potential error. |

Public Education
Another fact of preventing avoidable fires, injuries, and even deaths, is to educate citizens and business/property owners on how to react in the event of a fire. The SVFD provides outstanding public education to that end.

The Sequatchie Vol. Fire Department, in an effort to better educate the public about fire safety. We provide the best fire protection we can provide to the town of Sequatchie and Marion County!
Mutual Aid
We give and receive Mutual Aid from almost all fire department in Marion County, TN. Marion Counties Fire agencies have a Mutual Aid Agreement. What Is a Mutual Aid Agreement you ask? In emergency services, Mutual Aid is an agreement among emergency responders to lend assistance across jurisdictional boundaries. This may occur due to an emergency response that exceeds local resources, such as a disaster or a multiple-alarm fire.
