The Board of Fire Commissioners is made up of five elected commissioners. All Fire Districts in the State of New Jersey are governed by statue. Fire District Statues are generally located in N.J.S.A. 40A:14-70 et seq. These statutes give fire districts taxing authority, regulate when and how fire district elections are to be conducted, and regulate their fiscal responsibilities, among other things. The Board of Fire Commissioners serves as the Fire Districts governing body and manages all operations. The length of a Fire Commissioner’s term is three years.
