[hudson144 150]

In a recent conversation with a few guys the question was asked about the Chiefs position in Pelham, any scoop out there? A new acting Chief in FDMV,new Chief in Hartsdale, a return of a retired Chief in Newburgh- any others out there?

Is Pelham's Chief fully career, part time, or volunteer? If there is an opening, hopefully they will promote from within the ranks of the career staff, as there is a lot of career members that would fit this position well. It would also give Pelham FD career FF's an advancement path, and a retention tool. I know they recently created a Lt's position for each shift. Also would be cool if Pelham and Pelham Manor were one department under one command, I never understood why the two departments have to be seperate.

Did Pelham FD even have a Career Chief? I thought that was a Volunteer position.

I believe the chief is a retired New Rochelle FD Capt. or LT .
