Who should a company officer contact for an exchange if members are related?

A company officer should contact the battalion chief for an exchange if members are related. The battalion chief typically oversees the operations of multiple companies within a district and can address personnel issues, including those regarding potential conflicts of interest or familial relationships among team members. This is essential to maintain team integrity and ensure that all personnel can work effectively without any bias that may arise from their relationships.

While the fire chief, administrative officer, and safety officer play significant roles in the department, the battalion chief is specifically positioned to handle operational dynamics between company personnel. This ensures that any exchange or change in assignments can be managed properly and in alignment with local protocols. Handling such issues at the battalion level promotes a more cohesive response and fosters clear communication regarding personnel management within the companies.
