Urban Firefighting Station Officer careers
An Urban Firefighting Station Officer leads professional crews to manage metropolitan emergency incidents and community safety. You might work for a state fire service, supervising personnel and ensuring operational readiness for fires, rescues, and hazardous material callouts. You will focus on incident command, tactical decision-making, and staff development, while overseeing equipment maintenance and fire prevention activities to protect lives and property.
Station Officers play a vital role in public safety. You must be a decisive leader with strong communication skills, remaining calm under extreme pressure.
