What are the various ranks of firefighters?
The size of the department and its structure will determine the ranks of the fire fighting force. In the US, we generally see it like this from the fire fighter up the chain of command. We start with a fire fighter, then go to lieutenant, captain, battalion chief, assistant chief and chief of the department. Certainly there is a lot of room for other ranks, particularly at the top of larger departments. Assistant chiefs can have different responsibilities, like the assistant chief who is the Chief of Training. Additionally, different jobs can be conducted by individuals of different ranks. A fire investigator might be a lieutenant or a captain, depending on the department. The officer on an engine might be a captain, a lieutenant or even a senior firefighter. In smaller departments, someone who is effectively a captain and wearing a pair of bugles on his collar might be the highest ranking fire fighter on the force, and he is considered the chief. Variations will appear from one department or fire district to another.
