Leading Firefighter

Leading Firefighter

Leading Firefighter (previously Leading Fireman and Leading Firewoman) was a rank in the British fire services, between Firefighter and Sub-Officer. A Leading Firefighter was usually in charge of a single fire appliance. The badge of rank was one white or silver bar on the epaulettes (or the collar of the firefighting uniform), the helmet was yellow with one 12.5mm black stripe on it.

With the move from a rank based structure to a role based structure, the rank of Leading Firefighter has disappeared. Those who held the rank are now called Crew Managers and wear the markings of what was the old Sub Officer Rank. [http://www.firesafe.org.uk/html/fire&resc/ranks.htm UK Firesafe Organisation]
