Senior Station Officer

Senior Station Officer

Senior Station Officer is a rank in the New Zealand Fire Service. In career fire stations, an SSO will be the officer in charge of a single watch at a station with multiple appliances. They will ride as officer on one appliance, with the other appliances being commanded by Station Officers.

In a volunteer brigade there will usually be only one SSO, and some volunteer brigades have no SSO positions at all. Here the SSO acts as the senior operational officer, to allow the Chief Fire Officer and their deputy to focus on the running of the brigade.

In both career and volunteer situations, an SSO reports to a CFO.
