RE: [californiadisasters] CA budget proposal to eliminate 4th

PS.  There are not generally many slack hours at a firehouse.  Maintenance (vehicle and building), medical calls, training in ALL the variety of things that need annual hours  to be certified (medical, haz mat, fire line training are but a few) plus business inspections, home inspections (upon request only, no legal ‘right’ to enter), wildland inspection (PRC 4291) and the occasional fire pretty much fill up the day.

2. Find occupation for firefighters which utilizes their non-call time while
leaving them available for response. EMS meets the first issue but not the
second. Training, fire safety inspections, public education, are some
activities that can meet these requirements and are common duties of
suppression-company firefighters.
