Englewood Fire Department 

FIRE MARSHAL / DIVISION CHIEF

Come Build Something.

The Englewood Fire Department is looking for more than our next Fire Marshal. We are looking for someone who wants to build something. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced fire prevention and Community Risk Reduction professional to step into a Division Chief-level position, join the Department's Command Staff, and have the freedom to develop a Community Risk Reduction Division with the support and resources to make it successful. This isn't a position where you'll be told, "That's the way we've always done it." We want the person who has spent years thinking, "If I ever had the opportunity to build a program the way it should be done, I know what I would do."

Here's your opportunity.

A Different Kind of Government Organization

The Englewood Fire Department is an independent special fire control district. That means we don't operate under the layers of bureaucracy commonly found in larger county and municipal governments.

We are a professional organization, but we don't believe process should become an obstacle to progress.

A good idea doesn't need to travel through five departments, three committees, and six months of meetings before something happens. We make decisions, provide resources, and get things done.

The Fire Marshal reports directly to the Fire Chief and serves as a member of the Department's Command Staff. The leadership philosophy is straightforward:
