Today on a Chicago Still and Box (3033 S. Damen) I heard battalion chiefs assigned as the "Box Chief", the "Plans Chief", the "RIT Chief", etc. And eventually when it went to 2-11 a division chief arrived and assumed command.

Where I now come from, they assign officers to "fire attack", "safety", "water supply", etc. The RIT dispatch is a truck, a heavy rescue squad and and an ALS ambulance, without a chief.

Can someone remind me of the Chicago FD battalion chief assignments on working fires?
