I came from a large department in New York
where we had 300 plus members. We also had
seven companies within the department. Each
company had a Captain & 2 lieutenants. The
department had as follows:
4- Chiefs
7- Captains
14-Lieutenants
In the small department i'm serving with here
in South Carolina, has approximatly 40 members.
We have as follows:
3- Chiefs
3- Captains
4- Lieutenants
So how many officers dose your department have ????
HOLD IT MICK !!!!! I understand "Padre" means Father. But rather than correct the Brothers and Sisters here who call me Padre (a lot) because I'm a chaplain, I have sort of let it slide as a nickname because it works for them and its an honor to me. Most have no Pastor or Priest. If that is the way they want (or need) to percieve me, that works. But, to me, actually being called "Father" has significantly greater implications. I am not ordained. I have been appointed by the presidents of my fire company, the Chautauqua County Fire Chiefs Assoc. and the Southwestern New York Firemans Assoc. and by the CEO of the local Hospital. They give me the impression that I just might be called to do it. I held most titles the Fire Service has to offer before I got in to this job that I find most rewarding. Back at you Brother. Go with God.
those firefighters also include our JR. Firefighters who come to meetings train and are allowed to got fires but not allowed to fight them. they also work traffic control on MVA's

Hey Matt, Thanks for responding to the discussion.
