**Duties**

-   Provide national leadership and direction for the structural fire
    program to reduce the impacts of structural fire on human health and
    safety, facilities and historical and cultural resources.

-   Develop a culture within the NPS that provides for structural fire
    prevention and protection rather than reaction and response, in
    order to maximize structural fire safety.

-   Create awareness and commitment to address structural fire needs and
    concerns within other NPS program areas, such as Facilities
    Management, Concessions, Cultural Resources and Risk Management.

-   Develop strategies to eliminate the structural fire deficiencies
    identified in the 2000 GAO report and NPS material weakness
    designation.

-   Examine organizational and workforce needs to meet current and
    future needs for activities associated with structural fire.

**Program Backup**

-   In the absence of Hal Spencer, Sheila Williams will be Acting
    Program Lead. Unless there is an emergency situation, either Hal or
    Sheila will be in the office.

-   Parks should contact their regional Structural Fire Management
    Officers for questions and protocols in their region (see chart on
    following page for contacts).
