The Glassy Mountain Fire Department proudly protects 2500 people living in an area of 53 square miles in northern Greenville County.  Operating from 5 stations that house 19 pieces of apparatus, our department is a public tax supported department formed by the Greenville County Council.  Overseen by a 7 member Commission, elected by district residents, the operations of the department are conducted by a full-time Chief, a part-time Assistant Chief/Training Officer, an Assistant Chief/Volunteer Coordinator, 9 full-time firefighters, and over 45 Volunteers.

The Glassy Mountain Fire Department was formed in 1987 to cover the "Dark Corner" or "No Man's Land" in northern Greenville County.  We protect an area stretching from the east at the Spartanburg County line on Highway 14 to the west of Highway 25.  Beginning at a point in the south near Highway 414, our protection area extends to the North Carolina state line.

The Insurance Services Organization recognized the Glassy Mountain community on September 1, 2006 with a fire service rating of 5.  This indicates that target properties within 5 road miles of a responding fire station receive a discount in their fire insurance premiums.
