Under the administrative direction of the Town
Manager, the Fire Chief shall be responsible for the protection of
life and property within the Town from fire and for the enforcement
of all laws, ordinances and regulations relating to fire prevention
and fire safety. The Fire Chief or, subject to approval of the Town
Manager, the Chief's designee shall serve as Fire Marshal, with power
to enforce all statutes relating to the duties of that office.
Whenever the services of any member or members
of the Fire Department may be required by persons other than the Town,
the Director of the Department may, if in the Director's judgment
the interests of the Town will not suffer thereby, assign such member
or members of the Department as the Director shall judge expedient
and shall charge such persons for the services so rendered such sums
as may be established by a rate to be fixed by the Director but not
less than $2.50 per hour for each member so employed, plus necessary
expenses.
A record shall be maintained of all services performed in accordance with § 12-14.
No member of the Fire Department shall perform any services as described in § 12-14, except by order of the Director. Any member who shall demand, accept or receive, directly or indirectly, any money, presents or valuable articles for services so rendered, or to be rendered, except the legal charges as fixed by the Director, or who shall neglect for more than 24 hours after the performance of such services to report the same, in writing, to the Director, together with his or her legal charges and expenses, or who shall neglect for more than 24 hours after receiving such payments to pay over the full amount so received to the Director, shall be dismissed from the Department.
