Who oversees fire prevention and related activities in the department?

The Fire Prevention Chief is the individual responsible for overseeing fire prevention and related activities within the department. This role includes managing initiatives that aim to reduce the risk of fires, conducting inspections to ensure compliance with fire codes and regulations, and educating the public about fire safety measures. The Fire Prevention Chief plays a vital part in implementing strategies to prevent fires and protect the community, engaging with both the public and other professionals to enhance fire safety practices.

In contrast, the Chief of Operations primarily focuses on the management and coordination of emergency response operations and resource allocation during incidents. The Training Officer's responsibilities center on developing and delivering training programs for firefighters and ensuring that personnel are well-prepared for various fire-related situations. The Emergency Medical Services Coordinator typically oversees medical-related activities and may not be directly involved in fire prevention efforts. Each of these roles supports the overall mission of the fire department, but the Fire Prevention Chief specifically targets fire prevention initiatives.
