DESCRIPTION:The Fire Chief’s job presents routine and emergency challenge
 s every day. Preparation for emergencies requires far more time than does 
 the actual response to those emergencies. In providing services to Chico\,
  citizens\, businesses\, and visitors\, a strong emphasis is placed on pre
 venting emergencies before they happen. When prevention doesn’t work\, t
 he firefighters must be trained\, equipped\, and led in a way that minimiz
 es death and injury\, protects property\, and preserves city resources. Th
 e Fire Chief has to protect every firefighter’s life by making sure the 
 Department’s employees are highly trained and use safe procedures. Along
  with the City Manager and City Council\, the Chief assures that fire figh
 ting vehicles are modern\, safe\, reliable\, and well maintained. The Chie
 f emphasizes the use of high technology personal protective equipment. The
  Chief manages the Department’s budget and recommends hiring highly qual
 ified employees. The Fire Chief\, working with the Fire Marshal and Inspec
 tors\, enforces the Fire Code\, investigates fires for origin and cause\, 
 and provides public life safety education. The Fire Chief works closely wi
 th the Police Department to provide 9-1-1 and dispatching services. He als
 o works closely with the Public Works Department on the purchase and maint
 enance of fire apparatus and repair of fire stations. The Department has n
 umerous mutual and automatic aid agreements with other agencies to provide
  fire\, rescue\, emergency medical\, and hazardous materials response serv
 ices. No matter how well the Fire Department is currently doing\, one of t
 he most important tasks of the Fire Chief is to be sure that the Departmen
 t is never satisfied with the status quo. The Chief encourages ways to imp
 rove training\, is responsive to the public\, and embraces new technology.
