Commonly in FPP/IFSTA circles when the term “Company Officer” is used, it refers to the IFSTA Validated manual Fire and Emergency Services Company Officer, 5th Edition, which deals mainly and directly with NFPA requirements for the officer acting in emergency situations.
In the Introduction to Company Officer’s Handbook, First Edition, Deputy Chief Murgallis states the intent of this manual: to be a guide for the non-emergency parts of the job such as station supervisor or acting in the place of a superior officer, as well as leadership skills and pre-planning, and some of the hidden rules he encountered in his own experience.
