Organization of the Chicago Fire Department
The Bureau of Operations is currently the largest Bureau within the Chicago Fire Department and is organized into four Divisions: 
The Fire Suppression and Rescue Division is commanded by an Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner. The Special Operations Division and the EMS Division are also commanded by an Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner. The Office of Fire Investigation (OFI) is under the command of the Commanding Fire Marshal, equivalent to the rank of Deputy District Chief.
The Fire Suppression and Rescue Division is commanded by an Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner (2-1-10). The Division consists of five Fire Districts, each commanded by a District Chief. Within the five Districts are 24 Battalions, each commanded by a Battalion Chief per shift, who reports to the Deputy District Chief of the District, who in-turn reports to the District Chief of the District.
