How Many Officers Do You Have In Your Department

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 ????

We're in the neighborhood of 50 members, give or take a few. It fluctuates lol

Anywho Fort Bayou VFD currently has:

1 Cheif
1 Asst
1 Captain
3 Lieutenatns

We have a vacant captain slot currently but noone meets the bosses expectations of captain. We've only been Lt's for right about 2 1/2 years. We average about 300 calls a year for our area
