Sunflower County fire and emergency services are provided by several fire departments which are largely volunteer companies, emergency medical responders and the county emergency management agency.  The county is divided into eight geographic districts for the purpose of fire protection, and that model is carried over into emergency medical response.  Many of the county's volunteers fill multiple roles based on the need, whether it be firefighting operations, emergency medical, or roles with the emergency management office when unusual emergencies arise.
 +
 +
Fire and Emergency Services are coordinated by the Emergency Management Director who has the dual responsibility of being the County Fire Coordinator.  Two deputy director/coordinators support the operational and planning aspects of countywide efforts, along with a County Training Officer and County Chaplain.
 +
 +
The Fire Coordinator and/or Deputy Coordinators respond on multi-district alarms, high hazard occupancy alarms (healthcare, apartments, schools, etc.), highway incidents, hazardous materials incidents, and incidents of greater significance.

Fire/EMR/EMA

Sunflower County fire and emergency services are provided by several fire departments which are largely volunteer companies, emergency medical responders and the county emergency management agency. The county is divided into eight geographic districts for the purpose of fire protection, and that model is carried over into emergency medical response. Many of the county's volunteers fill multiple roles based on the need, whether it be firefighting operations, emergency medical, or roles with the emergency management office when unusual emergencies arise.

Fire and Emergency Services are coordinated by the Emergency Management Director who has the dual responsibility of being the County Fire Coordinator. Two deputy director/coordinators support the operational and planning aspects of countywide efforts, along with a County Training Officer and County Chaplain.

The Fire Coordinator and/or Deputy Coordinators respond on multi-district alarms, high hazard occupancy alarms (healthcare, apartments, schools, etc.), highway incidents, hazardous materials incidents, and incidents of greater significance.
