FIRE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS <br />A. The City encourages its employees to seek membership in the <br />Little Canada Volunteer Fire Department to meet the needs of <br />the community. <br />B. The City has given each fire fighter /employee the right to <br />decide for themselves whether or not they should respond to <br />a call while on duty with the City. If their decision is <br />such that they believe that their response is not needed <br />from the Fire Department's standpoint and not responding <br />would not jeopardize the Fire Department's efforts, they are <br />expected to remain on the job. If, on the other hand, they <br />deem it a true emergency, believe that they will be of <br />value, and that their absence from their assigned duties <br />will not place the City or their fellow worker(s) in <br />jeopardy, they are encouraged to respond. The decision <br />rests with the individual, based on the information they <br />have at their disposal at that time. <br />C. If a fire fighter /employee does decide to respond to a call <br />during normal working hours, they shall contact their <br />supervisor or other department- designated person. After <br />responding to a call, a verbal report should be made as soon <br />as possible to the designated person in their department. <br />D. Failure to notify a superior prior to responding to a call, <br />or failure to make a verbal report within a reasonable time <br />after responding to a call, may result in disciplinary <br />action. <br />E. Employees in the company of fire fighters at the time the <br />emergency call is received should continue with their <br />assigned duties, or as directed by their supervisor. <br />F. No reduction will be made in the wages of the fire <br />fighter /employee for actual time spent responding to a call. <br />33 <br />
