The responsibilities of the Board of Fire Commissioners are different from the East Brentwood Fire Department.

The Fire District Commissioners are responsible for purchasing the Fire Fighting Vehicles, Fire Fighters Personal Protective Equipment, Insurance for the Vehicles and the District buildings, Insurance for the Firefighters and supply the Firefighters with OSHA Physicals, and to purchase training and training materials for the Fire fighters and Emergency Rescue Attendants.

The Commissioners also prepare the yearly Budget. We try to keep within this budget so not to raise the Fire Tax in the East Brentwood Fire District.
