  The department deploys personnel from three locations.  Station #1 is located in the heart of downtown Americus and houses one fully staffed engine company, one partially staffed ladder company, one reserve engine, and the administrative offices.  Station #2 is located off  Southfield Road in a rapidly developing industrial park and also covers the airport as well as a substantial amount of residential development.  Station #2 houses one fully staffed engine company.  Station #3, dedicated to service on November 1, 1999, houses one fully staffed engine company, the shift commanders office, and the office of training and prevention.  These stations protect the approximate 12 square miles inside the City limits, as well as an additional 161 square miles of unincorporated area through a contract with Sumter County when mutual aid is needed.
