If I have 1 Chandra's Spitfire and 3 Scorch Spitters and attack with all 4 creatures, would the Spitfire get 3 triggers and get +9/+0 or just 1 trigger? Just trying to figure out if each Scorch Spitter is calculated as a separate trigger.

Yes, they are separate. Why would they not be?
For clarity, I'll refer to the three Scorch Spitters as Moe, Larry, and Curly. Your declare attackers step would then look something like:
Your declare attackers step begins. You declare Chandra's Spitfire, Moe, Larry, and Curly as attacking your opponent and tap them. This triggers three abilities.
You would get priority, but there are three triggered abilities for you to put on the stack in an order of your choosing. A) You put "Whenever Moe attacks, it deals 1 damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking." on the stack. B) You put "Whenever Larry attacks, it deals 1 damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking." on the stack. C) You put "Whenever Curly attacks, it deals 1 damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking." on the stack.
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 2C) resolves. Curly deals 1 damage to opponent. This triggers the ability of Chandra's Spitfire.
You would get priority, but there is a triggered ability to put on the stack. You put "Whenever an opponent is dealt noncombat damage, Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn." on the stack.
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 6) resolves. Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn. (It is now 4/3.)
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 2B) resolves. Larry deals 1 damage to opponent. This triggers the ability of Chandra's Spitfire.
You would get priority, but there is a triggered ability to put on the stack. You put "Whenever an opponent is dealt noncombat damage, Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn." on the stack.
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 6) resolves. Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn. (It is now 7/3.)
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 2A) resolves. Moe deals 1 damage to opponent. This triggers the ability of Chandra's Spitfire.
You would get priority, but there is a triggered ability to put on the stack. You put "Whenever an opponent is dealt noncombat damage, Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn." on the stack.
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 20) resolves. Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn. (It is now 10/3.)
You get priority and pass.
Opponent gets priority and passes.
Your declare attackers step ends.
