  • Certification as Head of Fire Department through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection, or the ability to obtain certification within twelve months of appointment.

  • A valid driver's license.


PREFERED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Master's degree in a related field.

  • Executive Fire Officer designation through the National Fire Academy.

  • Executive leadership experience in a high-growth, high-complexity community.

  • Progressive operational experience through the ranks, with credibility on the fireground and in EMS.

  • Experience in a 911 EMS based system.

  • Demonstrated planning and command experience at major events and mass gatherings.

  • Capital program experience including station design and construction, bond programs, and work with architects and general contractors, with strong budget and finance fluency.

  • Working knowledge of fire prevention, inspections, fire investigations, and public education.

  • Experience leading an accredited agency or guiding a department through a CFAI accreditation, CAAS accreditation, or ISO Class cycle.
