At the administrative level, Level I Fire Officers are responsible for:

Level I Fire Officers are primarily responsible for administering policies at the unit level. This role involves ensuring that established policies and procedures are implemented effectively within their assigned unit. They are tasked with overseeing day-to-day operations, coordinating resources, and ensuring that all personnel adhere to the protocols and guidelines set forth by higher levels of command.

Administering policies at the unit level means that these officers are often involved in training personnel, managing activities, and monitoring compliance with safety regulations and operational procedures. They play a crucial role in translating broader departmental goals into actionable plans that their unit can follow, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery.

While policy creation may occur at higher administrative levels, Level I Fire Officers focus on the implementation and administration of those policies rather than creating new ones or affecting changes at state or county levels. Their responsibilities do not typically extend to the formulation of new procedures or policies, which is generally reserved for higher-ranking officers or specialized committees.
