42 <br /> SECTION 19 20 - FIRE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS <br /> <br />A. The City encourages its employees to seek membership in the Little Canada Volunteer Fire <br />Department, or one of its mutual aid cities, to meet the needs of the community. <br /> <br />B. The City has given each fire fighter/employee the right to decide for themselves whether or not <br />they should respond to a call while on duty with the City. If their decision is such that they <br />believe that their response is not needed from the Fire Department's standpoint and not <br />responding would not jeopardize the Fire Department's efforts, they are expected to remain on <br />the job. If, on the other hand, they deem it a true emergency, believe that they will be of value, <br />and that their absence from their assigned duties will not place the City or their fellow <br />worker(s) in jeopardy, they are encouraged to respond. The decision rests with the individual, <br />based on the information they have at their disposal at that time. <br /> <br />C. If a fire fighter/employee does decide to respond to a call during normal working hours, they <br />shall make a reasonable effort to promptly contact their supervisor or other department- <br />designated person. After responding to a call, a verbal report should be made as soon as <br />possible to the designated person in their department. <br /> <br />D. Employees in the company of fire fighters at the time the emergency call is received should <br />continue with their assigned duties, or as directed by their supervisor. <br /> <br />E. No reduction will be made in the wages of the fire fighter/employee for actual time spent <br />responding to a call within Little Canada or one of its mutual-aid cities. <br /> <br /> <br />
