The program will <br />act as a variation of the organizational style of a paid on-call Fire Department. Using current personnel, the <br />FD will schedule Firefighters to work blocks of time during the days to respond to calls for fire and <br />emergency service. The means of providing fire service with Duty Crews will benefit the level of service <br />provided when call response may be limited based on availability or higher call volume during the day. <br /> <br />Firefighters doing work as a Firefighter will receive $50 along with 2 call credits per shift. Firefighters doing <br />non-Firefighter work will receive $25 along with 2 credits per shift. Probationary Firefighters will receive $25 <br />along with 2 call credits per shift. Normal call pay and credit will be issued to both morning and afternoon <br />shifts. <br /> <br />2023 Department Goals the duty crews would be working on include: <br />● Pre Plans/Knox Box Keys <br />● Driving training Program/EVOC <br />● Basic Truck operations/Driving code 3 <br />● Blue Card Basics <br />● Radio Etiquette/Operations <br />● Right Front Seat Training <br />● Workout Program <br />● Pump Ops/Hose deployment <br />● Water Supply/Drafting <br />● School/Community Engagements <br />City of Orono <br />Work Session 11 Sept 2023 <br />Exhibit F = Duty Crews <br />Page 1
