Liberty City Fire Department

- Staff Roles -


FDLC Chief
The Fire Chief is the highest-ranking officer in the fire department. He or she is directly responsible for the efficient operation of the fire department and has control of all of its personnel and activities.
The fire chief has a say in various department functions such as:
-Fire safety education
-Fire protection
-EMS
-Disaster preparedness
-Department administration


FDLC Deputy Chief
Deputy Chiefs manage and control the activities of personnel assigned to the operations division. The operations division is responsible for fire suppression and disaster relief. Depending on the department, operations may also include EMS.
They are also responsible for creating programs to maintain and improve the fire service. They assist the Fire Chief by preparing budgets and planning the expansion of the fire service.


FDLC Battalion Chief
The Battalion Chief is usually the highest-ranking officer on duty. They are also tasked with creating work schedules and managing personnel for the fire stations under their command.
Before each shift ends and the next one starts, the Battalion Chief must make sure that there are enough people on duty. The BCs are responsible for scheduling each role in the fire department, including managing vacation time and sick days for dozens of firefighters.
Vacations and specific assignments for specialized personnel must be factored into the scheduling. This means that sometimes, firefighters may be moved between stations and creatively staffed.


FDLC Captain
The Captain is usually the highest-ranking officer at the scene of an emergency and will direct operations as needed. The Captain may also speak on behalf of the company to the media or public.
At the station, the Captain oversees the day-to-day operations and training of the fire company. They receive reports from any Lieutenants working at the station and must make administrative decisions for the good of the team. Because of their increased responsibilities, Fire Captains must possess an exceptional level of management ability.


FDLC Lieutenant
The Lieutenant is responsible for the emergency response of a specific company, including the management of resources and personnel.
When they're not at the scene of an emergency, a Lieutenant may be responsible for supervising daily operations at a fire company and spearheading firefighter training. Firefighter training may include learning new EMS skills, or even how to create maps of local buildings and landmarks to use in the event of a fire.
Because of their important role in directing Firefighters, Lieutenants must possess knowledge of scene operations and try to be more educated than their subordinates.


FDLC Engineer
The Engineer is responsible for driving the apparatus. They are also responsible for maintaining and operating the fire pump and aerial ladder.
This is a very technical position that comes with a lot of responsibility. An Engineer must make frequent checks on the vehicle to make sure it remains in working order. All equipment must be cleaned and maintained after every call, and at the very least reviewed before the shift.
The driver engineer is expected to be the fire company's resident expert on the fire apparatus and must know the vehicle forwards and backward. This is especially important at the scene of an emergency, when a driver engineer may be required to address a problem with the pump or another crucial piece of equipment.


Firefighter
Anyone member of the department can be called a "firefighter," but it's also a rank of its own.
Firefighters are responsible for the hands-on actions of fire suppression and search and rescue. There are usually one to two firefighters in each company.


FDLC Cadet
Cadets are fire recruits who have just been hired by the fire department as an "at will," entry-level employee. They are the lowest-ranking members of the fire service.
As a probationary firefighter, candidates undergo training and evaluation to make sure that their character and skills meet the high standards of the fire service.
Upon completion of the probationary period, Cadets are sworn in as full-time members of the department.
