Ad valorem property tax in the amount of 45.9 Mills for the Spartanburg County portion of the District and 45.9 Mills for the Greenville County portion of the District is proposed for the Fire District to partially meet the operational needs for Fiscal Year 2016-2017.

Meet the Chief

LandrumFireUniversity

Over the years, the Landrum Fire Department has had a number of fire chiefs, but the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District has only had one.

After the Landrum Fire Department dissolved and the South Carolina General Assembly created the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District, the commissioners decided that Warren Ashmore should continue his role as chief on an interim basis while they transitioned in to the new entity. Then, the commissioners removed “interim” from his title and hired him as the Landrum area’s first full-time fire chief.

An area native, Chief Ashmore is a familiar face to a lot of people the District serves, but in case you don’t know him, he wanted to take a minute and introduce himself.
