NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE <br /> Based on this research, the Fire Service Task Force has recommended a new <br /> organizational structure, which includes the creation of two major functional areas, <br /> both of which will be overseen by a full-time deputy fire chief. The Operations Division <br /> will oversee day-to-day emergency response operations, including the direct <br /> supervision of the department's on-call leadership staff. The second is a Training and <br /> Safety Division, which will direct the fire department's training program, including the <br /> creation of an internal fire academy for new recruits, and will also coordinate the city's <br /> overall safety program. <br /> These changes provide for a more manageable span-of-control, greater accountability, <br /> clear next-in-line authority, expansion flexibility and long-term succession planning. <br /> The creation of two deputy chief positions will also enhance the city's emergency <br /> management capabilities and, by enhancing the department's training program, provide <br /> future revenue generating opportunities. <br /> The following is the department's new organizational structure as recommended by <br /> the Fire Service Task Force, which is supported by the fire chief. Implementation <br /> methodologies are discussed later in the plan. <br /> Operations Administrative <br /> Assistant <br /> Safety Division Division <br /> [Deputy , i <br /> Captain <br /> Captain Captain <br /> [Station .n#2] [Special operations] <br /> Lieutenant(s) Lieutenant(s) Lieutenant(s) <br /> LFirefighters L Firefighters <br /> %*� I <br /> *** FINAL DRAFT Page 25 <br />
