The Office of the Fire Chief is the Command Center that organizes and directs the efforts of the County's Fire/EMS Department, both career and volunteers. It is also the central point of contact for citizen and government inquiries. In addition to numerous special projects, the Office of the Fire Chief is responsible for the coordination of the Fire Chief's Citizens Advisory Council and meetings with other community groups on issues of concern. This office is also responsible for regular coordination and communication with several internal groups such as the Prince George's County Professional Fire Fighters Association (Local 1619), the Prince George's County Fire Commission, Prince George's County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association and the Volunteer Chiefs Council.

There are three operational commands: Management Services, Emergency Operations and Special Operations. Each command is staffed by a Lieutenant Colonel who reports directly to the Fire Chief. Each command is subdivided to define the scope of operations necessary to provide an efficient delivery of service to the citizens the Department serves.
