The U-Crest Fire District was established in 1924 and is responsible for
providing the facilities necessary for fire protection in U-Crest Fire
District. The U-Crest Fire District is one of nine other fire districts
that serve the residents and visitors of the Town of Cheektowaga. Our
district has five commissioners elected by U-Crest Fire District
registered voters. Each commissioner services is for five years, and the
terms are staggered, so each year one commissioner is up for election.
There is a chairman selected by the commissioners, and they also appoint
a secretary and a treasurer. Decisions are made by a majority of the
commissioners. The commissioners need not be members of the Fire
department.
The Fire District owns the fire house. The district
buys and owns all of the fire fighting equipment used by the
U-Crest Fire Department. The district is responsible for the maintenance
of all equipment, the fire house, and insurance coverage for the
building and equipment.
The Fire District is not subject to
oversight or control by the Town of Cheektowaga. It has the power to
raise or lower taxes, and to spend the money raised in any manner that
can be represented as being part of its charter as set forth in the
state statutes.
This web site is funded and operated by the Board
of Fire Commissioners. The members of the active company would like to
thank the U-Crest Fire District Fire Commissioners for their continuing
support.
