Battalion Chiefs

The Fire District incorporates three work shifts — A, B & C. A Battalion Chief is assigned to each shift and is ultimately responsible for all firefighters in their command. They serve a vital role in being in command of emergency responses occurring on their shift, and they also assist in training and district administration. The Battalion Chiefs report directly to the Fire Chief.
