The Oneida County Fire
Coordinator’s Office is staffed by a full time County Fire
Coordinator, also known as the Director of Emergency Services. By
dividing the County into four zones, the Fire Coordinator is assisted in
executing his duties by five part-time Deputy Fire Coordinators, one for
each of the zones and one responsible for Hazardous Materials response
operations. And, working with the County Health Department, the Fire
Coordinator is also assisted by a part-time County EMS Coordinator. The County Fire Coordinator
administers the Oneida County Mutual Aid plan. His role is not that of
an on-scene commander, but to assist with and advise the local fire
officer in the response of the necessary resources to handle the given
situation. He also oversees the operation and maintenance of the
County’s Mutual Aid radio system. The County Fire Coordinator acts
as the Regional Fire Administrator upon activation of the New York State
Fire Mobilization Plan, organizing local resources and advising the New
York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control on utilization of those
resources. The Fire Coordinator’s Office
also plans, coordinates, and implements training at the local level with
curriculum developed by the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and
Control (OFPC) to the hundreds of firefighters, related governmental
officers and other emergency response personnel in |
