The responsibilities of a fire captain typically vary according to the size of the station, however, some of those duties include managing the fire station, performing fire safety inspections, and training new firefighters. Fire captains may also be responsible for equipment checks and ordering new equipment. On the scene of fires, a fire captain is expected to make an evaluation of the fire to determine how the firefighters should respond. Much in the same way a fire chief manages the entire fire department, a fire captain is responsible for his or her individual station, and typically reports directly to the fire chief. A fire captain is usually the senior officer in the station. In larger stations, the responsibilities of a fire captain are typically more narrow, as he or she will generally have more staff. In smaller stations, fire captains typically do everything from managing to actual fire fighting.
