Assistant Chiefs are listed below in order of their appointment to PFD by date, not when they assumed the Assistant Chief rank. The rank existed from the first day of the department's organization in 1890 until 1912.
When the Paterson Fire department transformed from a volunteer into a paid department in March of 1890 there were two Assistant Chiefs (John F. Murphy who had the rank in Volunteer Department, and John Gilmore). Murphy's tenure as AC was short-lived as when Chief Turnbull resigned in May 1890, Murphy was appointed to fill the vacancy as acting Chief. John Struck transiently filled Murphy's spot as an assistant chief - until replaced by James Mills. |
