Call Directions

Homeland Park Volunteer Fire Department
Anderson County Fire Station #3
Anderson, South Carolina The community answered the noble call.

The Homeland Park Fire Department was established in 1963 by the Anderson County Fire Protection Commission. In 1963, the Fire Commission set out looking for people of the Homeland Park Community who wanted to make a difference, and who were fearless enough to fight fire. Shortly after the original members were in place, Homeland Park adopted not only Anderson County’s image, but also an image that would be like no other. You see, Homeland Park has always been known for it's fearless attitude and uncanny ability to handle the call or any situation. For the present and future members, it will not be an easy task to maintain the honor, pride, and dignity in which this station was founded. Since day one of this station’s operations, the members have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making this station what it is today. Their work has not been forgotten. Anywhere you go people notice an increased sense of pride in a Homeland Park Firefighter. So, if you have the time and willingness to be a part of one of the best fire departments in the upstate of South Carolina, come on down and walk in the boots of a Homeland Park “Heat Seeker”.

9/11 Belton Area Walk to Remember –25th Anniversary

We are extremely proud of our Junior Firefighters for participating in this year’s Belton Area Walk to Remember as our community marked the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

For these young men and women, 9/11 is an event they only know through history, but today they had the opportunity to honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians whose lives were lost and forever changed that day.

Teaching the next generation the meaning of service, sacrifice, remembrance, and unity is an important part of preparing them for a future in the fire service.

We will never forget.

September JR. NIGHT

Tonight was another great Jr. Night at Homeland Park! We were glad to have Junior Firefighters from Flatrock, Wren, Broadway, and Center Rock join our Juniors for a night of hands-on training, teamwork, and a little fun.

Tonight’s focus was vehicle extrication and learning control of our Holmatro battery-powered rescue tools. Before getting into vehicle work, our Juniors took on a couple of challenges designed to show that rescue tools aren’t just about power—they require control, patience, and precision.

The Egg Drill challenged them to use the spreaders to carefully pick up and move an egg without breaking it.

Next came Extrication Jenga. Using stacked cribbing, the Juniors had to carefully remove pieces with the rescue tools without bringing the stack down. This challenged their tool control, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

After training, everyone got some well-earned food and time together around the firehouse.

And we ended the night with a fun round of Bay Ball! Sometimes the best part of Jr. Night is simply giving these young firefighters a chance to hang out, compete, laugh, and build friendships with Juniors from neighboring departments.

A big thank you to Flatrock,Wren, Broadway, and Center Rock for joining us. Nights like this are about more than teaching skills they’re about bringing the next generation of the fire service together.

The future of the fire service is already training.

Tonight was Jr. Night!

With school back in session, tonight was the first chance our Jr. Firefighters have had to get back together. These young guys stay busy with school, after-school activities, sports, and part-time jobs, so we truly look forward to the time we get to spend with them at the station.

Tonight’s training was all about getting back to the basics—the things every firefighter needs to know, whether on the fireground or around the station.

PPE and SCBA drills
Common hose loads used by the department
Washing and taking care of the trucks
Station duties and working together as a team

And, of course, we finished the night with probably the most important thing a teenager needs after training FOOD!

We are incredibly thankful for this group of young people and the time and effort they put into being part of our department. They’re learning much more than firefighting they’re learning teamwork, responsibility, service, and what it means to take care of each other and their community.

We can’t wait to see the firefighters and the people they become.

The future of the fire service starts right here.

On behalf of the Homeland Park Fire Department, thank you to everyone in our community who came out to celebrate with us. Seeing so many families, friends, and neighbors enjoying the day together made all the hard work worthwhile.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated members active, honorary and our volunteers. Countless hours of planning, cooking, setting up, serving, cleaning up, and ensuring everyone’s safety went into making this event a success. Your commitment and teamwork truly reflect what serving this community is all about.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors. Your generosity and continued support help make events like this possible, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to everyone who purchased BBQ, hot dog plates, concessions, and supported our department throughout the day. Every dollar raised helps us continue serving the Homeland Park community.

A special thank you to Copeland ESV for bring back our old Rescue Truck to the event. A lot of history and pride is in those four doors. It definitely has a good home.

We are honored to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States with such an amazing community. We hope everyone had a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Independence Day.

From all of us at the Homeland Park Fire Department, thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
