According to the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade Bylaws, the purpose of the organization is to protect life and property from fire, and to provide help in accidents or other emergencies. It also works to promote civic and social connections among members, their families, and the community, and to carry out any legal activities allowed for a non-profit corporation.

The Board of Directors has seven members, each serving a three-year term. Directors may be re-elected for one additional three-year term, with terms staggered so that no more than three seats expire in the same year. After serving two consecutive terms, a member must take a one-year break before being eligible for election again. Only regular members who are not the Fire Chief or an Assistant Fire Chief may serve on the Board.

The Board manages the general affairs of the Brigade, reviews the Fire Chief’s position each year, and holds the Chief accountable for effective operation of the Department. The Board is also responsible for maintaining the Fire Department headquarters, Community Center, and all related property. This includes keeping proper insurance, arranging repairs and improvements, and setting and enforcing policies for use of the facilities and property.
