NSW Fire Brigades Station Officers graduate
Published: 5th April 2007
Commissioner Greg Mullins of the NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) today congratulated 23 firefighters who were promoted to Station Officers after graduating from a nine-week development program.Station Officers manage fire stations and teams of firefighters, providing leadership and command at all types of emergencies as well as fulfilling specialised management roles.
“Being a Station Officer in the NSWFB is a huge responsibility. The course is extremely demanding and they have met every challenge presented to them,” Commissioner Mullins said.
“Each graduating Station Officer has received training in administration, human resource management and specialist skills to lead emergency operations including rescues, chemical spills, bush and building fires and even dealing with the aftermath of a terrorist attack,” he said.
Commissioner Mullins, the first officer to rise through the ranks to become Chief Executive Officer of the NSWFB, is well aware of the dedication the fire officers have shown.
