The Director of Fire Services and Emergency Management is responsible for developing long-range planning strategies for the fire protection delivery system within unincorporated wake county, involving contracted non-profit and municipal fire departments. The Director coordinates all activities connected with emergency management within the county, including maintaining comprehensive emergency management plans associated with natural or man-caused disasters, hazardous materials, and radiological preparedness associated with the Harris nuclear power plant.

The position reports to the County's Chief Operating Officer and is a member of the County's Senior Leadership Team. The position differs from the of a Fire Chief.

This position does not have the typical direct line of authority over all contracted employees and agencies such as a Fire Chief in a single agency delivery system.
