Firematic Officers
Department personnel are commanded by a Chief of Department with assistance of two Assistant Fire Chiefs along with five captains, and five lieutenants. The chief officers, captains and lieutenants are elected annually by members of the Fire Department; the chief officers must be then appointed by the Board of Fire Commissioners.
Two Safety Officers, appointed by the Fire Chief, also serve on the command staff to advise the Chief of Department or Incident Commander during fire, rescue and medical operations; they are, however, not considered fire officers by the Snyder Fire District.
Elected fire officers must meet certain minimum training and time-in-service standards established by the Fire Department and Fire District.

Famous quotes containing the word officers:
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
