Description of Duties
This is a supervisory position in a fire district responsible for directing firefighting and other emergency response activities involving the protection of life and property during a shift and in the absence of a Fire Chief.

Work is performed in accordance with the policies and objectives outlined by the Board of Fire Commissioners and/or Fire Chief.
