VOLUNTEER
MEMBERSHIP/AGE POLICY
The
Board recognizes the need and importance for continual recruitment of Volunteers
in order to carry out the Board's mandated responsibilities to provide fire
prevention, protection and prevention of fires within the District.
The Board further recognizes the New Jersey State Firemen's Association has
an age limitation on new fire fighters. The Board finds adherence to
said age limitation detrimental to the Fire District and therefore waives
same provided the fire fighter remains under the maximum age established by
Township Ordinance.
Waiver
of the age limitation does not, however, waive the physical requirements established
by the New Jersey State Firemen's Association which must be passed by each
new volunteer. Any Volunteer accepted beyond the New Jersey State Firemen's
Association age limitation shall be required to execute a Release indicating
he/she will not be entitled to New Jersey Firemen's Association benefits.
RESIDENCY
POLICY
The
Board recognizes the importance in recruiting and maintaining volunteers to
carry out its mandated responsibilities. The Board likewise recognizes
the need to set certain standards for volunteers.
To
effectively operate the District, the Board recognizes the need to control
qualifications of the volunteers. Therefore, the Board requires that
all volunteers reside within the Fire District at the time of application.
Also
the Board further requires that all Fire Officers shall reside within Fire
District #1 during their term of appointment. The Board further reserves
unto itself the right to promulgate rules and regulations to effectuate this
policy.
