Chapter 1 — Introduction to the Fire Officer
Fire Officer: Principles and
Practice
Third Edition
Chapter Overview
‣ This text provides information to meet the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 1021, Standard for Fire Officer Professional
Qualifications, at the Fire Officer I level. The Fire Officer I level is the first
step in a progressive sequence and is generally associated with an officer
supervising a single fire company or apparatus. The next step, Fire
Officer II, generally refers to the senior non-chief officer level in a larger
fire department. Fire Officers III and IV generally refer to chief officer
positions.
‣ Historical events of the past have shaped the fire service of today. A
chain of command is followed, and military organizational concepts still
serve the fire officer well. Fire officers use leadership and delegation to
accomplish departmental objectives and goals. They must make ethical
decisions based on a value system.
‣Identify the requirements of a Fire Officer I (NFPA 4.1) (NFPA
4.1.1). (pp 4–5)
‣Describe the roles and responsibilities of the Fire Officer I (NFPA
