Message from Our Fire Chief

Greetings! I am Fire Chief Cory Spurlin, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Opp Fire Department’s web page. Our department currently employs a combination of both career and paid per call firefighters. We provide fire and rescue services to a forty-five square mile fire district, with a population of approximately 7,500 residents. We are a service oriented Fire Department consisting of 1 Fire Chief, 3 Captains, 3 Lieutenants, 16 Firefighters, 1 Fire Station, 3 Fire Engines, 1 Brush Truck and 2 Support Vehicles. At this time the Opp Fire Department has a I.S.O. rating of Class 4

I am proud to be part of a team of highly trained and dedicated firefighters. As Fire Chief I see the endless sacrifice of our members as they endeavor to protect our citizens from fire and rescue emergencies. Opp is a wonderful city and a great place to raise a family and it is with great humility that I am allowed to serve as its Fire Chief.

Sincerely,

Cory Spurlin
