All promotions from Fire Specialist (apparatus driver) through Battalion Chief are based on scores obtained from the annual Civil Service promotional examination. The overall ranking of the promotional candidates reflects the written exam score plus up to 12 extra “longevity” points, one for each year of service. The Fire Chief picks from the top three eligible candidates when a vacancy occurs. Assistant Chiefs and Division Chiefs are appointed by the Fire Chief.
