The Corinth-Shiloh Fire Department, operating under a special purpose tax district, is seeking outstanding team members to fill multiple positions as the department expands its staffing model. The department currently operates as a volunteer organization and is transitioning to a combination staffing approach.

Successful candidates will serve in multiple fire service functions and roles and will demonstrate a proven passion for the fire service. This includes supporting best practices in staff recruitment and retention, as well as contributing to the acquisition and effective use of equipment, technology, and training.

The Corinth-Shiloh Fire Department serves a 23-square-mile area in rural northwest Oconee County, South Carolina—home to approximately 6,935 residents. Our district includes several large industries, a regional airport with no firefighting capabilities, and an elementary school with around 525 students.

Our Organization and Community We Serve

Just four miles away lies Clemson University and the City of Clemson, contributing to a seasonal population increase of 10,000 students. On fall football weekends, our area sees crowds of over 120,000. Our location at the junction of Oconee, Pickens, and Anderson counties positions us as a critical partner in regional emergency response.

Six miles north of our station, located on Lake Keowee, is Duke Energy’s Oconee Nuclear Power Plant, with our department designated as a first-alarm responder. There are several large Dams on Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell. Our district is dissected by Northfolk Southern Railway’s Crescent Line. In addition, the district includes a major power substation and essential water and sewer infrastructure that supports a substantial portion of the surrounding community.

Joining our Department

Our department is seeking dedicated professionals to join our organization as we expand our staffing model and hire our initial staff. This is a unique opportunity to be part of an organization that is strengthening its service delivery, operational consistency, and long-term support for emergency response within our community.

As an employee, you will work alongside committed volunteer members while helping support daily operations, training, readiness, and service delivery. These positions offer the chance to play a meaningful role in shaping departmental practices, enhancing response capabilities, and contributing to a strong, service-oriented culture.
