MISSION STATEMENT

The Avenel Board of Fire Commissioners (BOFC) was established in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:14-70.1 et seq. Its members (5) are elected by the voters of the fire district and serve staggered three year terms. The members have the powers, duties and functions within the district to the same extent as in the case of municipalities, relating to the prevention and extinguishment of fires and the regulation of fire hazards. The district may contract with the volunteer fire company for the purpose of extinguishing fires. The members of the company shall be under the supervision and control of the BOFC and in performing fire duty shall be deemed to be exercising a governmental function. The appointment of the fire chief of the volunteer fire company shall remain the prerogative of the membership of the fire company as set forth in the company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. In accordance with state statute, the BOFC will present an annual spending plan to the voters for consideration during the month of February.
