  Jacob the difference between the running and administrative districts; the administrative district is basically where the companies are responsible for the on-site inspections while the running district is self explanatory.

  The differences in the areas (if there are any differences) may only be by a block or two in most cases.Separate administrative and running districts are more common among district and battalion chiefs and that is done because sometimes one may actually be closer to a fire station (which would be the running district) however for administrative purposes the fire station might be assigned to another battalion or district which is done to try and equalize the administrative work load for the chiefs.

  How do the companies share/ communicate their findings to the OEMC and other companies once the district/ company inspections are done?

  an example of what the difference is; Engine 60’s still district is roughly from 49th St. to the lake, to about 61st St. and to parts of King Dr. The Administrative District is 49th St. to the lake, to 60th St., to St. Lawrence Ave.

  I also agree and I personally wonder if there will be any changes in the administrative or the running districts.

  I really don’t see why an engine or truck company needs to have a different administrative district from a running district. The districts and battalions might have running districts that would sometimes differ from their administrative districts however in the case of the battalions and districts that was done more to equalize the amount of companies and the manpower under their supervision which is also known as “span of control”.
