The ex officio member of a fire code board of appeals typically represents the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). According to fire code principles:
The AHJ serves as an advisory member to provide expert guidance on fire codes and regulations but does not have voting authority.
Jurisdiction's legal counsel (B): May assist with legal advice but is not considered an ex officio member.
General public (C): Does not typically fulfill the role of an ex officio member.
Appellant (D): Represents the party challenging a decision, not an ex officio role.

I’m leaning towards the appellant being represented, but I need to double-check what ex officio means in this context.

I feel like the legal counsel could be a possibility, but I can't recall if they have a direct role on the board.

I remember a practice question about stakeholders, and I think the general public might be involved too.
