This is general duty firefighting and fire prevention work. Work of this class involves responsibility for the performance of specialized duties in the saving of life and the protection of property against fire and hazards. Firefighters are required to perform strenuous work, with a substantial element of personal risk and often under hazardous conditions of cramped quarters, smoke, heat, heights above grade, and depths below grade. Special orders are given by superior officers, but the work requires a thorough understanding of the individual firefighting and hazardous materials duties. Although an employee is subject to fire suppression and mitigation activities at any time, regular assignments include a substantial element of property, equipment, fire station maintenance, and care activities. All work is performed under general supervision of a fire officer, but a firefighter must be able to exercise sound judgement, tactful and courteous treatment of the public under normal and emergency situations. Work is reviewed by superior officers through personal inspection, review of reports, and a general appraisal of the effectiveness and efficiency of an employee’s work as it is related to the effectiveness and efficiency of the department as a whole.
