How are your volunteer fire fighter officers put in their office, elected or appointed?

I would like to know how other volunteer fire departments get their officers. Is there an election held among all active fire fighters to vote in a member to office by the majority vote, or are they appointed by a governing body, say...city hall for example?

Our officers are elected anually and approved by the dept. There are minimum qualifications they must meet before even being voted on such as experience, leadership qualities, etc
