Town of Wallkill fire district considers 'pay-per-call' plan

[DCJPells 29]

(Here is how it was explained. You would have to pay minimum wage, thus you bewcm an emplyee. GML 209-w also states"and every person who is appointed on a temporary basis or for a probationary term or on other than a permanent basis as a fire fighter of any county, city, town, village or fire district shall forfeit his position as such unless he previously has satisfactorily completed, or within the time prescribed by regulations promulgated by the governor pursuant to section one hundred fifty-nine-d of the executive law, satisfactorily completes, a fire basic training program for temporary or probationary fire fighters and is awarded a certificate by the state fire administrator attesting thereto." which covers all but permenant appointed FF's. thus this covers the 229 and CPAT as per the R@R of NYS.)

Heres what we were told from GML 209-W section 6 and interpreted as 5 full time firefighters:

6. The provisions of this section shall not apply to appointments made

by any county, city, town, village or fire district which employs five

or fewer fire fighters

But the law does not specify full time. It only says employs.

That would be a plus, I did not know that could be done. Do you know how one would be able to credit outreach courses towards the 229? If so, please share or feel free to PM the details to me.

Thanks!!!

Scott, Contact DC Ward of Lagrange. He knows the details.
