Sub-Officer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sub-Officer (usually addressed as "Sub") is a rank in the British fire services, between Leading Firefighter and Station Officer.
A Sub-Officer is usually in charge of a small one-pump fire station or a watch in a larger station. In some brigades they may be in charge of multi-pump stations.
The badge of rank is two white or silver bars on the epaulettes (or the collar of the firefighting uniform).
The British fire services are undergoing considerable modernisation at present and the rank structure in particular is being changed. Sub-Officers are being renamed "Watch Commanders" in many brigades.
