Request

Could you confirm what rank titles are currently used operationally and publicly by London Fire Brigade for middle and senior management (e.g. Watch, Station, Group, Area), and whether legacy titles such as Sub-Officer or Station Officer are still in active use or retained for establishment/HR purposes only? Please could you name all ranks from bottom to top. I mainly want to know if for example you use Area Commander or Area Manager.
