[edit] Merge proposal

Fire chief and Fire Master are about the same thing, and both are relatively small articles. Merging them seems like a good idea. Jclemens (talk) 23:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Would Fire chief be an acceptable title for the new article? I'm not sure which is more prevelant around the world, although obviously Fire chief is more often used in the United States. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I can only speak for the USA, where Fire Chief is the predominant, possibly only, term in use. The Fire Chief article makes it sound like Fire Chief is also in use in the UK. Whichever the article is called, Fire Chief, Chief Fire Officer, and Fire Master all appear to denote the top executive of a fire service, and whichever names aren't used for the article can be redirects.
