The Board of Fire Commissioners are responsible for the overall governance of their local fire district, including fiscal management through setting budgets, levying taxes, and auditing claims. They purchase essential equipment and establish operational policies and rules for the fire department to ensure the safety of the community. The Commissioners oversee the district's operations, approve fire department members, and annually approve chief officers. Commissioners serve a 5-year term and may choose to re-run.
