The Chief, two Assistant Chiefs, and the officers of United Fire Company No. 1 were chosen by the members during the annual elections that took place during the December membership meeting. The Cutchogue Fire Department then announced its officers for 2026. Chief Michael C. Boken and the Board of Fire Commissioners swore in the newly elected officers at the regular monthly meeting on January 1.

Despite the holiday, a sizable number of members attended the meeting, which was the first formal event held at the department's new firehouse. Many of them were visiting the new building for the first time, making it a historic occasion. Antique equipment 8-5-2A was brought back from storage and backed into the apparatus bays as a reminder of the department's past. It is the first vehicle to be stored at the new facility and will stay there until the current fleet moves in and the last construction and finishing work is finished.

The department announced the following 2026 Department Officers: Chief Michael C. Boken (8-5-30), First Assistant Chief Christopher Dinizio (8-5-31), Second Assistant Chief Joseph Hinton (8-5-32), and Department Secretary Christian Figurniak.

The department also sent its best wishes to all officers and members serving the community in 2026, congratulating Fire Commissioner Christopher Talbot on his reelection to a five-year term on the Board of Fire Commissioners following the December public election. They said they look forward to welcoming the public into the new firehouse once the project is finished.
