Revision of Special Requirements – Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Lieutenant The current language regarding the requirement for EMT certification on both the Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Lieutenant job descriptions is contradictory in that it states that EMT certification is required at the time of appointment, but also allows two years to obtain EMT certification.

Commissioner Thompson made a motion to revise the EMT certification requirement on the Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Lieutenant job descriptions to read as follows: “Possession of a New York State Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification issued by the New York State Department of Health at the time of appointment and maintenance of said certification for the duration of employment.” Seconded by Commissioner Richardson.
