DUNCAN SEEKS APPLICANTS
TO FILL FIRE AND RESCUE 
COMMISSION VACANCIES                   For Immediate Release (May 15, 1996)


     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill three
vacancies on the seven-member Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Commission. 
The incumbents in these positions are a nominee from the Fire Board, a
representative of the career firefighters and officers, and a representative
of emergency medical services providers, although selection of members of
these groups is not mandated by law.
     The seven member Fire and Rescue Commission is responsible for: 
establishing a policy and regulatory framework for fire, rescue, and emergency
medical operations; providing efficient, equitable, and effective fire,
rescue, and emergency medical services County-wide; advising the County
Executive and County Council on fire, rescue, and emergency medical service
matters; and reviewing the fire and rescue service budget.
     Members serve three-year terms with compensation of $8,000 per year and
are required to file financial disclosure statements.  Terms begin August 1. 
A member serves until that member's successor is confirmed.  Regular monthly
meetings are held the second Thursday of each month in Rockville.  Additional 
meetings are held as required and members are required to attend at least 85
percent of the scheduled meetings.
