Firefighter Ranks
Okay, so I'm hunting down information on firefighters. I've been insanely lucky that every other search term I've used has worked.
I'm trying to find the ranks for Firefighters in California, USA. I know some of this stuff varies, but the city this is set in is fictional, so I have some minor leeway.
I found one for New York that goes: Chief of Department, Chief of Operations, Assistant Chief, Deputy Assistant Chief , Division Commander, Deputy Chief , Battalion Commander, Battalion Chief, Captain, Lieutenant, and Firefighter.
Is this close enough to be usable? Or are there key differences.
Also, on a slightly related note. How long would a college/uni semester last? Four months?
Edit: Okay, the semester question's been answered, so thanks. :) Still looking for the firefighter ranks!
