Important membership reminder

July 9, 2025

The South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association’s Member Management System (MMS) is the online tool fire departments use to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of their members in relation to the Association. Aside from the administrative tasks performed in the MMS required annually for departments to be members, roster management is absolutely critical in ensuring your firefighters receive the full extent of their benefits.

A significant number of members are listed in the MMS as having fees unpaid. We strongly encourage fire chiefs and roster managers to take a moment to verify that all members of your department who are eligible for benefits have their membership fees marked as paid and up to date in the database.

These benefits are important, and no one wants a firefighter to be ineligible for a benefit—especially in the tragic event of a firefighter death—simply because of inaccurate roster information. Take care of your people by making sure they will receive the benefits they deserve.

Please act now to ensure your members are covered. A few minutes of verification today can make all the difference tomorrow. Fire chiefs and roster managers can login to the MMS here.

Individuals can confirm their membership status by logging into the MMS and navigating to the “My Departments” tab. If the “Pays Dues” column says “NO,” please talk to your fire chief.
