A crew commander or crew manager is a rank within the fire service in the United Kingdom. It is superior to a firefighter but inferior to a watch commander or watch manager. The UK Fire Service is phasing out "ranks" in favour of "roles" and therefore technically speaking a "crew commander" should not be referred to as a "rank" but a job role, or position within the Fire Service. The new 'role' came into general usage during 2006 - the equivalent rank was known as leading firefighter. Many brigades throughout the United Kingdom have now switched to the "ranks to roles" formula ==Differences between the term "crew manager" and "crew commander"== There is no difference in the term "crew commander" and "crew manager". They are the same "rank" or role. A "crew commander" is simply referred to as "crew manager" when on station engaged in daily administrative duties, or non-emergency situations. The "crew manager" is then referred to as "crew commander" when responding to / dealing with incidents or on the fire ground. Some firefighters dislike the use of the term "manager" as it implies an administrative role rather than a front line role. Crew manager/crew commander is a rank that amalgamated the two previous ranks of leading fireman and sub officer in the Fire Service. When the rank is used as a lever in industrial action, by the unions against management, it is possible to cripple the front line service by keeping fire appliances "off the run" and unavailable for emergency calls. It is worth noting that this is done at a great financial loss for those performing the rank/role. It is a difficult role to perform as the firefighter regards them as management, and so has an element of distrust, and the senior management treats them with disdain as the lowest of all the ranks. Depending on the fire service qualifications that an individual crew manager/commander has obtained reflects in the disregard that many senior officers have for them, especially at operational incidents, where their knowledge, help and experience is often ignored. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crew commander」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
