Fire Protection

Mission Statement
The mission of the Tipton County Fire Department is to provide the highest quality fire-rescue prevention, protection and suppression services for our residents; to achieve and maintain the most attractive ISO rating for residential and commercial structures so that fire insurance premiums are minimized; and to provide educational and other services to Tipton County and its visitors.

We aim to meet the emergency needs of our County and to conduct ourselves as professionals with compassion and efficiency.

The Tipton County Fire Department participates in the "Get Alarmed, TN" program through the State Fire Marshall's Office. "Get Alarmed, TN!" is a grant-funded fire safety education and smoke alarm installation program administered by the State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO). Launched in November 2012, the program distributes fire safety education and 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms to participating fire departments. Contact the Fire Department for more information or to request a smoke detector.
