The Station Officer is responsible for notifying whom with complete information about the death in the employee's family?

• A. Public Relations
• B. HR Department
• C. Fire Administration
• D. City Manager

Answer: (C)

When a death occurs in an employee’s family, the Station Officer should promptly inform Fire Administration with complete details. Fire Administration is the central point for department-wide operations and employee welfare, so they coordinate the support needed, manage confidentiality, and ensure the proper steps are taken for leave, benefits, and any memorial or administrative actions. They can, in turn, connect with Human Resources or other units as required, but the immediate and correct recipient is Fire Administration.

Public Relations handles external communications and media, which isn’t the immediate issue here. City Manager is a higher-level official not typically involved in these daily employee-family matters. Human Resources will handle records and benefits, but the notification should go through Fire Administration first to ensure consistent, department-wide handling.
