Latest version.
  • The fire chief may, with the approval of the chief financial officer, appoint firefighting personnel, who have been temporarily disabled due to injuries received in the line of duty, to special duty within the department for a period not to exceed six months. This appointment shall be contingent upon the ability of the employee to perform service other than firefighting, on a full-time basis in another area of the department, and upon the disability of the employee, during this period, being diagnosed as a temporary disability by a qualified physician. The period of special duty may be extended after six months upon approval of the chief financial officer. Salaries for these employees shall be paid from a special appropriation account established by the chief financial officer for that purpose.
