J. Rob Brown, Fire Chief, Stafford County, Virginia

Professional firefighters show support for the Fire Chief. Since his appointment in September 2005,Chief Brown has been a bastion for firefighter safety, improved service to the citizens, financial responsibility and uniformity and accountability throughout the department. A few of the advancements Chief Brown has accomplished since his appointment are:

- Uniform standards for officers to ensure qualified fireground management - Uniform standards for firefighters to ensure competent and safe performance - An increase in the number of guaranteed 24-hour a day staffed fire and rescue apparatus which are staffed by certified and competent providers - Suppression apparatus equipped and staffed for ALS response - The presence of Safety Officers on incident scenes to ensure firefighters the best chance of going home to their families - A uniform accident investigation policy to minimize unnecessary damage to equipment, as well as ensure the highest level of firefighter safety
