Commissioners in four fire districts were re-elected on Tuesday night, each to five-year terms.

Voters in Amagansett had only one candidate for commissioner, but they had a choice when it came to a proposition on the ballot. By 30 to 1, voters approved the district’s request to establish an equipment repair reserve fund to pay for the costs of acquiring, maintaining, and repairing equipment, other than trucks and ambulances.

Carl Hamilton was elected to his sixth term in the Amagansett Fire District, also by a vote of 30 to 1. One vote was left blank, according to Jessica Cantwell, the district secretary.

In Bridgehampton, Fred Wilford, a longtime member of the board of fire commissioners, was re-elected to his fifth term on the board. Running unopposed, he received 58 of the 59 votes cast, according to Pam Balserus, the district secretary. The other was for Steve Halsey, a former fire commissioner who was unseated two years ago.

Michael Mirras, a commissioner in Montauk who ran unopposed, was re-elected with 24 votes. Terri Czeczotka, the district secretary, said 28 votes were cast in all, with one spoiled and three write-ins, for Ron Jeremy, Peter Joyce, and Ms. Czeczotka.

In Springs, Pat Glennon was elected to his third term on the board of fire commissioners with 45 votes. Danna Miller, the district secretary, said 48 people cast votes, with one blank, one voided, and one for Darrin Downs.
