This comprehensive insider’s guide will help chief fire officers operate effectively and efficiently across an ever-increasing range of responsibilities, including operations, personnel and asset management, fire prevention and education, and much more. No firefighter should respond to a call without the right equipment, and no fire officer should make a tough call before referring to the Chief Fire Officer’s Desk Reference.
