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).
Training usually begins when a firefighter wanna be have been hired by a local fire department and enter the department's fire academy. The program last for about 12 to 18 weeks. It provides fire instruction in all aspect of firefighting like fire prevention, fire suppression techniques, hazardous material control, CPR and chain of command protocols. By means of simulation exercises and other hands on training, trainee will become familiar with how to use and operate fire engines, fire extinguishers, hoses, ladders, axes and other firefighting equipment.
