2012 - 2013 Line Officers

The Fire Officers provide structure in the department and leadership on the fire ground. Although it is every member's responsibility to ensure that the department is always ready to respond to, and mitigate any incident to which we may be dispatched, it is the officer's primary responsibility to ensure departmental readiness. This is accomplished by implementing a proper training curriculum which is revising as needed, ensuring that appropriate equipment is available and maintained in good working order, and by making command decisions and providing direction at incidents, just to name a few.

The Old Lyme Fire Department currently utilizes a command structure of Ten officers. At the top of the chain of command is the Chief of the Department assisted by a Deputy Chiefs and two Assistant Chiefs. One Captain is assigned to each of the three fire stations to administrate operations. Three Lieutenants are also assigned to each station who help lead crews and oversee apparatus readiness.
