Description

The Lead Designated Campus Fire Marshal (Lead DCFM) operates with broad and independent authority with formal delegated authority from the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) for construction inspection and plan review (Title 24), and for oversight of fire and life safety in all existing buildings (Title 19).

The sphere of influence for this position covers the entire UCSF enterprise - both Campus and Health - and it directly impacts the overall construction and design activity related to facility structures; as well as the fire and life safety of the entire UCSF community (including students, patients, and visitors).

The position interacts with, and represents the campus to, municipal fire departments and regional and state fire safety agencies.

This position directs the EH&S Fire Prevention Team (the Team), which has jurisdiction over the entire UCSF enterprise, including both Campus and Health. The Lead DCFM creates and implements programs, directs program development, provides compliance consultation, and is the UCSF expert associated with fire prevention codes, policies, laws, and regulations. This applies to all UCSF facilities, locations and operations, including residences, highrise structures, scientific research and laboratory buildings, clinical facilities, classrooms and lecture halls, recreational facilities, special events, administrative offices, and lease spaces. This position may also supervise other "Designated Campus Fire Marshals" (DCFMs), some of whom are designated by the Health Care Access & Information (HCAI) to perform and oversee plan review and other work on behalf of HCAI in all UCSF licensed clinical care facilities (including all UCSF hospitals and licensed clinics). These formal designations are authorized in existing (MOUs), between UC and OSFM, and between UCSF and HCAI. The Lead DCFM will report directly to the Assistant Vice Chancellor of EH&S.
