In the 1970’s, White Sulphur Springs became the first department in Greenbrier County to obtain extrication tools, commonly called the “Jaws of Life” , and provided rescue services throughout the county.

Today, the department operates with 3 fire engines, a tanker, a light rescue, and a 103’ platform tower, as well as two personnel vehicles. Expanding from the traditional roles of firefighting, members provide vehicle extrication, technical services and HAZMAT response.
