Richard A. Marinucci
 
The job of the Fire Chief is vastly different from that of the firefighter. Between the administrative and managerial responsibilities he has, and the leadership and knowledge he must demonstrate while overseeing his team, it is sometimes difficult to understand the full scope of his position and its significance for fire service. In this text, Chief Richard Marinucci, the former Chief Operating Officer of the U.S. Fire Administration, utilizes the expertise of Chief Fire Officers throughout the country to offer suggestions on specific issues relevant to those leading a fire and emergency services team. Chief Marinucci provides (case-studies) and actual examples accompanied by solid (management principles) to highlight the many roles and skills that the Fire Chief must develop in order to achieve success as a fire service leader. A “must-have” for any Chief Officer!
