As with all Fire Service questions, I will begin my answer by stating, IT IS MOSTLY DEPARTMENT BASED! That having been said, the chain of command we use in our fire service starts at the bottom and works its way up. The first level of command are Lieutenants, followed by Captains, who are outranked by Chiefs. You may have different levels, or multiple designations of the same level (for example we have a Captain 18 and a Captain 1-18). There should be a chain of command posting within your service somewhere, all you have to do is ask to see a copy. Or I'm sure someone will be glad to give you a run down (including names and qualifications).
