Hi Heather,
Sarnia has a “closed-shop” policy for moving into the prevention division, meaning you have to be a member of the fire service, and the candidate is taken from a list which is based on seniority.
Once in the division, you require to take all the courses that are part of NFPA 1031-1 and 1031-2, including the Fire Code courses; NFPA 1033 and “Fire Protection” from OBOA to become a Captain in the division. After that you require 1021-3 and 1021-4 for Chief Fire Prevention Officer. Multiple Captains are possible (even all members), but there will be only one CFPO. A new CFPO will be the most senior Captain.
Hope this helps
Roel

Hey Ben,
We have been delegated for most “chief fire official” items in the Code, but Alternative Solutions are signed by the Chief.
Hope your summer is going well!
Roel
