For more than 75 years, the non-profit Columbia Fire Fighters Association (Local 793) has advocated for the safety of our community’s fire fighters and the citizens we serve. Local 793 is a chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters. The Association is comprised of approximately 250 active fire fighters and dozens of retirees throughout the City of Columbia and Richland County. Members work with the community, and with city and county officials, to provide the highest standard of service to the people we are sworn to protect.
