Today the Department consists of: • 7 Chief Officers • 12 Lieutenants • 2 Inspectors and a Fire Marshal • 44 Uniformed Firefighters • 4 Civilian Dispatchers • 1 Equipment Mechanic • 2 Support Staff • Up to 6 active Volunteer Firefighters The Westport Fire Department is a public safety agency whose mission is to protect lives and property.
