In a lot of areas in Texas, or in my area, they have Junior programs, but that is the big departments.<br />
It works, I was a junior, then got bumped to a Rookie. I got to do some stuff as a junior, but was still limited in what i could do, I was allowed to go out on first due trucks if there was room. I wasn't allowed in the structure when it was burning and other stuff that might have put me in danger as a junior, since I was not covered under the City Insurance. That was City policy.

We have an explorer post. But in our department they are all non-active responders, they can ride-along but it is for education only, no interior, no hazard entry or activity, straight from the BSA bylaws. They have no rank/no power over a full fledge member. They as a seperate group are overseen by an Explorer Post Coordinator and all training is under the control of the department training officer.

In my company we have a chief and all fireline officers. Basicly we act as are own company at a fire scene and at the fire house. We basicly use the same chain of command as the senior company.

The only thing you have to watch for is the person either elected or appointed getting a swelled head and going on a power trip.<br />
<br />
Because if they get the position and start bossing the others around and not doing anything theirselves then that might create a bad situation among the juniors and have them resenting the junior chief.
