At his level, he just need to make sure the guy managing the
people managing the people managing the firemen is doing his
job....
commissioner ==> division commander===> station commander
==> rota commander ==> firemen
something like that....
and to show care and concern to the firemen so people will
respect him.
he don't need a fire badge.
i agree that "he just need to make sure the guy managing the
people managing the people managing the firemen is doing his
job".
but he's doing beyond that. he's cooking up half-baked
inventions that make the lives of firemen miserable.
as for the managing people part, i've heard too much of people
saying SCDF is "f**ked up" and a serious lack of morale, regulars
included.
