STATE BOARD FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AND RESERVE OFFICERS

The State Board for Volunteer Firefighters and Reserve Officers administers the Volunteer Firefighters’ and Reserve Officers’ Relief and Pension Act (RCW 41.24). The State Board consists of three members of fire departments covered by the Act and appointed by the governor to serve overlapping six year terms. They must be from different congressional districts. This board appoints an executive secretary to handle the day-to-day responsibilities of administering the Act. The State Board holds public meetings four times a year. It supplies all forms, reviews all claims, certifies all retirements and authorizes all payments from the Volunteer Firefighters’ and Reserve Officers’ Relief and Pension Fund.
