Los Santos Fire Department has officially announced adjustments to its internal rank structure following an evaluation conducted by the Office of the Chief Fire Officer. It is important to note that the Rank 1 to Rank 10 system remains unchanged and has already been in use previously. This update mainly focuses on renaming several positions to better reflect their roles and align with the department’s current organizational needs. Below is a comparison between the previous and current structures:
