for current information_____________________________________________________________________________ The Port Jervis Volunteer Fire Department is actively seeking volunteers of many backgrounds for our Firefighter roles Every day, in every community, emergency responders answer the call of our families, friends and neighbors who are in need of assistance. From house fires to technical rescues to car accidents, to floods, our emergency responders are there to protect lives and property.
Emergency
responders
are a special type of people, with many different reasons for
answering the call of duty. Some like the challenges and the
adrenaline rush, while others like to sharpen their emergency
skills and techniques. Every one of them answers the
call so that they can help someone in need. Today's emergency responders do far more than put out fires. Emergency responders are the first line of defense in natural and man-made disasters. They respond to vehicle accidents, water incidents, hazardous materials incidents, specialized rescue situations and a vast array of other emergency situations.
In response to the aging and declining membership and the need for new volunteer firefighters, the Port Jervis Volunteer Fire Department has initiated a recruitment campaign for interested citizens, men and woman, to learn how to "answer the call" and serve their community.

Special Operations Squad as of 1/1/18
FIRE POLICE MEMBERS - 2018
FIRE POLICE… The
designated number assigned to the squad varies with local conditions, including
the size of community, number of alarms, number of full-time law enforcement
officers available for emergency duty, potentially hazardous conditions and
other variables. General
Qualifications A fire police officer possesses peace officer status and
therefore must be a citizen of the United States, resident of New York, and
entitled to vote at the time of appointment. (Public Officers Law sec. 3-10,
1994 op Atty. Gen. 94-21) Age
qualifications No member of a fire department under the age of 18 may be
appointed to the fire police squad. Members of fire police squads are public
officers while on duty and therefore are required to be at least 18 years of
age pursuant to the Public Officers Law Section 3. Past opinions of the
state attorney general and state comptroller stated that members of fire police
squads must be at least 21 years of age (1965 Ops St Compt No. 426; 1967 Ops
Atty Gen Apr 20). However, since these opinions were written, Public Officers
Law Section 3 was amended to provide that full age, for the purpose of
qualifying to be a public officer is 18 rather than 21 years of age. (see Laws
of 1974, Chapter 940) Accordingly, a member 18 years or over may qualify for
the office of fire police. Other
Qualifications The doctrine of legal incompatibility would preclude a town
justice of the peace from being a member of the fire police squad of a fire
company located within the town (1960 Ops Atty. Gen. No. 129) Oath of Office
NYS General Municipal Law section 209-c requires that an oath of office be
taken and be filed with the city clerk, in the case of a fire company or fire
department in a city, with the village clerk in the case of a fire company or
fire department in a village, or with the town clerk in all other cases. The
oath may be administered by various officers, including: a judge of the court
of appeals; an attorney general, county clerks; official examiner of title; a
notary public; or the city, village or town clerk in whose office the oath will
be filed. (Public Officers Law section 10) January 2010 NOTES: Page
2-4 Student Manual Fire Police Course Unit II Legal Issues Members of a fire
police squad are required to take and file the constitutional oath of office.
(1957 Ops St Comp. No. 420) The oath is spelled out in General Municipal Law
section 209-c as follows: do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the
constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the State of New
York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of fire
policeman of the fire company (or fire department), according to the best of my
ability." Note: If the firefighter is appointed as a member
of the fire police by the fire department and he fails to take the oath, or he
takes the oath but fails to take the required training, the fire department
(authority having jurisdiction) may be exposed to potential liability. For
example, if a firefighter, who has not received the required is directing
traffic which results in a collision or injury, the fire chief and the fire
department may be found partially liable. City of Port Jervis Holiday Schedule 2018
