			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a member of a Volunteer Fire Dept. in New York State, and in our dept the Safety Officer responds directly to the scene. I would like to know if the Chief of that Dept can authorize and Issue the safety officer a Red Light Card, permitting the member to use Red and White Lights along with a siren to respond to the call. I have tried to look this up and for the most part I understood that the Chief can authorize ANY member to run Red and White lights on their POV. As long as they are issued a Red Light Authorization card. Any info would help. Thanks!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The chief of a volunteer fire department has been reelected by the members the past five years.  He enjoys the challenges of the job and especially the confidence displayed in him by the fire fighters and community.  Recently, a police officer had a serious vehicle accident while on duty, injuring a citizen.  It was proven that the officer had two beers with lunch just before the accident.  The town, police chief, and the officer have all been sued by the victim’s family.  At a recent town meeting, many citizens made it clear that drunk driving would not be tolerated by any public employee.   The fire chief realizes a keg of beer has always been in a special cooler in the back room of the fire station.  Volunteer firefighters gather socially and often respond to emergencies after having “a few beers”.  The chief’s gut reaction is that the beer should go &#8212; no more drinking at or around the station.  However, he knows that the vast majority of members who re-elected him would greatly resist efforts to eliminate the traditional keg of beer.  He wants to be re-elected but doesn’t want to be put in legal jeopardy either.  He does nothing, crosses his fingers, and decides to ask the fire board of directors to make a decision.</p>
<p>Is this action legal? Is it ethical? Why/why not?</p>
<p>What is the correct action?<br />
<br />Yes, it is legal. It is totally within the power of the board of directors to make that call.</p>
<p>No, it is NOT ethical. As the fire chief, he SHOULD have had the moral fiber to make the RIGHT, but UNPOPULAR decision on his own. What he has done was to make the BOD out to be the bad guys, so all he has to do is say, &quot;Gosh, I want to keep it here, but THEY are making us get rid of it!!&quot;</p>

I mean the Brand Fire Chief. I am not an incompetent human being; I am aware of where to find wooden matches.<br />
<br />Do you mean you&#8217;re looking for the actual Fire Chief brand name, or are you just asking where you can buy wooden matches?</p>
<p>Boxes of wooden matches (often called &quot;kitchen matches&quot;) are sold in most grocery stores.</p>

<p>You cannot be hired without having college credits, honorable military discharge or applicable work experience, 21 years old, resident of NYC or nearby counties, drivers license, US citizen, etc.</p>
<p>You PROBABLY will not be hired unless you are also an EMT or paramedic, although it is not a requirement, but there are hundreds of better qualified applicants if you only meet the minimum.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good career choice, but you might need to familiarize yourself with the job and training requirements and start getting experience in a local volunteer department before you commit your life to it.</p>
