Best Answer

It depends on what kind of battalion you are talking about.

A chief is ussually a former enlisted member who is qualified to be an officer but the combination of his or her knoladge and experience puts them in a special category.

The chief ussually works in the motor pool and is in charge of all viachles or helicopters the battalion has. some chiefs are pilots but the ones you are asking about are the seniors who are responsible for millions of dollars worth of equipment

It's all operated by a chain of command. Which is in order from top to bottom: Mayor/City council, fire chief, deputy/assistant chief, fire prevention/training/operations officer, battalion chief, captain, engineer, firefighter. There are minor variations depending on where you are, some places have firefighter paramedics which are above basic firefighters.

Some jurisdictions have lieutenants also which can be above or below the captains.No matter where you are though, they pretty much have the basic mayor, chief, deputy chief, battalion chief, captain, engineer, firefighter, layout.So, a firefighters boss is everyone in that chain of command that is over him, But directly it's his/her captain.
