Our department has 75 volunteer professionals. Chief officers and captains are annually elected members of the Penfield Fire Company whose appointments are subject to approval by the Penfield Fire District. Positions are limited to two years and typically progress from Third Captain to Chief. Lieutenants are selected from applications by vote of the five most senior elected line officers.
Line officers are responsible to the fire district and have command authority at incidents.
Chief and captain positions run from 01 January to 31 December. Lieutenants terms run from February company meeting to the following February. The civil officers, along with the Board of Directors of the fire company, are responsible for the operation and well-being of the company and its members. No one may hold more than one elected position at a time. 20 personnel are listed below.
