What is another title for a Fire Officer 1?

• A. Captain
• B. Lieutenant
• C. Fire Chief
• D. Assistant Chief

Answer: (B)

Fire Officer I sits at the level of first-line supervision, directing a company of firefighters and often taking on basic incident command. The title most consistently aligned with those duties is lieutenant, because lieutenant is the standard company officer rank in many fire departments. The other titles—captain, fire chief, assistant chief—represent higher levels of responsibility beyond a single company. So lieutenant is the best match for the responsibilities covered in Fire Officer I.
