Assistant Chief Buzzy Campbell

The Assistant Chief of operations  is responsible for all equipment, apparatus, supplies, building maintenance, and day to day operations of the fire department.  Richmond firefighters respond to over 1800 incidents each year.  While many of those incidents are faulty alarms, false alarms or smoke scares, Richmond firefighters routinely respond to and extinguish volatile structural fires every day.

Fighting structural fires is a complicated and dangerous endeavor that requires rigid team discipline and a high level of coordination among firefighting crews.

At fire scenes, firefighters encounter multiple hazards like downed power lines, potential structural collapse, toxic atmosphere conditions like carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, as well as the obvious dangers from fire and thick toxic smoke.  Coordinating the activities of 20 aggressive firefighters in chaotic conditions is an almost inconceivable challenge that the officers and chiefs of the Richmond Fire  Department face every day.
