(AUT) Abschnittsbrandinspektor
Countryside-Area Commander in the Volunteer Fire Brigade


Explanation:
Like the Gendarmerie as provincial Polizei, the voluntary fire brigade including Betriebsfeuerwehr in Austria operates outside of metropoles. If they were inside, the Abschnitt might be a Grätzel.

Compare Abschnittsbevollmächtigter (ABV) in der ex-GDR: ein Polizist der Volkspolizei (VP), der für die polizeilichen Aufgaben in Gemeinden, Stadtbezirken und auf Streckenabschnitten der Reichsbahn zuständig war.

Fire inspectors in the UK are usually (persistent and often ineffectual) officials attached to a local authority and responsible for enforcing fire regulations in local businesses, hotel restaurants, dance floors and discos and commanding the owners of the establishments to splash out on fire-fighting and extinguishing equipment.
