We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. The posting includes: Summary Description (some text about volunteer opportunity, deadline, supervision, duties). There is a "REPRESENTATIVE DUTIES" section (list). There is "Qualifications" section with subparts: Knowledge Of, Ability To, Education And Experience, License Or Certificate. There's also mention of "This is a one year non-paid internship." "Fire Prevention Intern must live within the Department Residency Boundary. Employees must reside in the local counties of San Diego, Riverside, Orange or Los Angeles." Also "The Fire Prevention Intern is required to commit to a minimum of 6 hours, one day per work week." That's schedule info. Also "This twelve month internship is designed to provide the knowledge and skills to successfully achieve the following learning outcomes:" then list of outcomes (these could be considered responsibilities or qualifications? Might be part of responsibilities or learning outcomes). We need to map to sections. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include summary description (supervision, volunteer opportunity, deadline, residency, commitment hours, non-paid, duration). That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: could include the representative duties list (the bullet list). Also maybe the learning outcomes? But we can put duties under Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe include the residency requirement, driver's license, certification requirements? Or we could put those under Qualifications. Usually Requirements includes mandatory qualifications like license, certification, residency, commitment hours. But we already have schedule maybe. - Qualifications: includes Knowledge Of, Ability To, Education And Experience, License Or Certificate. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills section. - Benefits: not mentioned (non-paid internship, no benefits). So omit. - Pay: not mentioned (non-paid). Omit. - Schedule: we have "minimum of 6 hours, one day per work week." That's schedule info. Could be its own section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. Check if any content duplicates. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from posting. Let's extract all substantive info: From first paragraph: - "Applications and completed supplemental questions will be reviewed as received." - "This volunteer opportunity will be open until October 27, 2026." - "Don't delay - apply today!" - "Under the general supervision of the Fire Marshal or the Fire Inspector, the Fire Prevention Intern learns the processes involved, assists with and performs basic fire safety inspections of various occupancies to determine compliance with state and local fire and building codes; assists prevention staff with inspections for new construction and tenant improvements in all types of occupancies." - "The Fire Prevention Intern is responsible for learning to perform a wide range of administrative duties and related work within the Fire Prevention Bureau as required." - "The Fire Prevention Intern is required to commit to a minimum of 6 hours, one day per work week." - "This is a one year non-paid internship." - "Fire Prevention Intern must live within the Department Residency Boundary." - "Employees must reside in the local counties of San Diego, Riverside, Orange or Los Angeles." - "This twelve month internship is designed to provide the knowledge and skills to successfully achieve the following learning outcomes:" then list: - Basic to advance understanding of and experience in conducting annual fire and life safety inspections of all occupancies. - Basic understanding of and field inspection experience in conducting construction and tenant improvement inspections. - Basic to advanced understanding and experience in the operation and inspection of various fire protection systems. - Learn how to research, interpret and apply fire and life safety codes in a variety of inspection scenarios. - Learn duties of weed abatement inspector, assist with weed abatement site inspections and notification process. - Evaluate and inspect new businesses for fire and life safety. Then "REPRESENTATIVE DUTIES" with a paragraph describing typical duties, then a list of duties (semicolon separated? Actually it's a long sentence with many duties separated by semicolons). We need to convert to list items. Then "Qualifications" with subheadings: - Knowledge Of: list of items (Learn the requirements and application of local, state and federal laws, codes and ordinances pertaining to fire safety and enforcement, including California Health and Safety Code, CCR Titles 19 and 24, California Building Code, California Fire Code, NFPA Standards; fire inspections and educational methods used in fire prevention; public relations techniques; and appropriate safety precautions and procedures.) - Ability To: list (Learn to perform and conduct inspections and detect violations of applicable codes and regulations; learn to read, apply and interpret codes, regulations and building plans; participate in training in subjects such as fire prevention and conducting inspections, establish and maintain credibility and effective working relationships with City employees and the public; use good judgment within the scope of assigned authority; communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing; keep accurate records and prepare comprehensive verbal and written reports; operate a computer terminal to enter and retrieve data; prepare and present professional fire safety presentations to civic organizations; and demonstrate an awareness and appreciation of the cultural diversity of the community. Ability to operate Fire Department owned vehicles; radio/telephone equipment; computers; flashlights and miscellaneous hand tools related to assigned areas such as hydrant testing equipment, video-camera and equipment, cameras, overhead and slide projectors, fire investigation tool kit, and miscellaneous tools for fire scene investigations.) - Education And Experience: "Any combination of education and experience that would likely provide the required knowledge and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the knowledge and abilities would be: Education/Training Education equivalent to graduation from high school and specialized classes in fire prevention or building construction. Experience Any combination of course work and experience which provide the necessary knowledge and ability to effectively perform the duties of the position are qualifying." - License Or Certificate: "The following license and certificate are required to be maintained throughout the internship and are not subject to waiver: Possession of an appropriate, valid driver's license with satisfactory driving record. Certification from California State Fire Marshal in Fire Inspector 1A is required. Certification in Fire Inspector 1B, 1C and 1D Is desirable." We need to preserve all that. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions (like "Don't delay - apply today!" maybe considered application instruction? It's a call to apply. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove "Don't delay - apply today!" and maybe "Applications and completed supplemental questions will be reviewed as received." That's also about process. Might be considered application instruction. Safer to remove lines about review process and call to apply. However we need to preserve substantive information; is that substantive? It's about process, not job content. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should omit those. Also "This volunteer opportunity will be open until October 27, 2026." That's a deadline; maybe considered application instruction? It's about when open. Might be considered part of posting but could be seen as application instruction. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So deadline is an application instruction (when to apply). So remove. Thus About the role should not include deadline or review process. Keep supervision, duties description, commitment hours, non-paid, residency, duration, learning outcomes. Now we need to format. We'll produce:

  • . The instruction: Use

    • . Let's extract each duty from the semicolon-separated list after "REPRESENTATIVE DUTIES The following duties are typical for this classification.
