Chief Fire officer basically. Chief Fire Officer for fire fighting.

thanks. it's on a little ornament someone gave me.
it's of a chubby little man with one hand up his nose and the other down his trousers - how very odd!
Can't answer your question but if you want to type letters with diacritical marks use the ALT key in conjunction with the number pad key on the right of your keyboard with the NUM LOCK on. This link gives you various options.

He is looking for his water hose!!
here might help with other ornament translations:

that's really interesting mike, thanks ♥
You're welcome. I sometimes find myself having to type in French or Welsh so this has been very useful to me.
I think your ornamental little man is meaning to put out a fire with his you-know-what, lol! Sounds cute!

Note: Always be careful with online translation software, as these programms only translate words literally and even that often wrong.

he's got a bottle opener on his head. And you can have it carakeel if you like!
That is very sweet of you crisgal, but with three wolfhounds in the house, I stay well away from collectible ceramics, lol! Am just having a clear out myself, so had better be a good girl and decline. Thank you for the offer though. x
''Don't mention the War .''
If it's got a bottle opener it could be a double meaning.
"brand" can also used as meaning thirst (colloquial)
crisgal how do you do the heart sign?
See my previous answer, ALT + 3.
♥♥♥ = hold down Alt key + 3
god I'm slow.............
