Flint Hill Fire Department is a private volunteer department serving a suburban area of 21 square miles in Fort Mill, South Carolina. We are one of two departments that protect the unincorporated areas of Fort Mill Township outside of the Fort Mill city limits. Much of our district is residential, containing such neighborhoods as Bailiwyck, Carowoods, Beacon Knoll, Knights Bridge, Quail Ridge, Saddle Gate, Foxwood, and Waterstone. There are also over 400 businesses in our district, including Paramount's Carowinds Theme Park, Regent Park (formerly Heritage USA), Black and Decker East Coast Distribution Center, Ross Clothing East Coast Distribution Center, INA Bearing Corporation, and Wells Fargo Financial. We also protect rural and woodland areas including the Anne Springs Close Greenway. Our services are Fire, Hazardous Materials, and Search and Rescue; all EMS calls in our area are handled by the Fort Mill Rescue Squad and Piedmont EMS. We respond to around 500 fire calls a year. Our primary funding comes from York County and a special tax district for the Flint Hill area. The fire district is bordered in the north-west by Steele Creek, North Carolina, north by Charlotte, North Carolina, and east by Pineville, North Carolina. Our western and southern border is the center of Hwy 160 north to the North Carolina line, and south and east to Hwy 21 Bypass.
