Standard Operating Procedure Duty Crew Program Standards DRAFT Number: First Issued: 07/02/2023 Current Revision Date: 09/05/2023 Policy: Effective August 1, 2023, the Long Lake Fire Department implemented a day time duty crew response to incidents which will compliment standard incident response via the paid on call model. The program will act as a variation of the organizational style of a paid on call Fire Department. Using current personnel, the FD will schedule Firefighters to work blocks of time during the days to respond to calls for fire and emergency service. The means of providing fire service with Duty Crews will benefit the level of service provided when call response may be limited based on availability or higher call volume during the day. Purpose: The purpose of this operating guideline is to establish the parameters of the Long Lake Fire Department Duty Crew Program. Objective: Reduce response times for emergency calls. Duty crews will have the expectation that in-service time is no more than 2 minutes. The Duty Crew Program will also provide Firefighters increased skill levels through training and station activities. Rules: Daytime Duty Crew Monday through Saturday unless otherwise directed by the Chief. ● Station 1-One Apparatus Operator and one Firefighter 0800-1200 Morning 1200-1600 Afternoon ● Station 2-One Apparatus Operator and one Firefighter 0800-1200 Morning 1200-1600 Afternoon Additionally a probationary Firefighter may be included in the Duty Crew. Compensation: Firefighters doing work as a Firefighter will receive $50 along with 2 call credits per shift. Firefighters doing non-Firefighter work will receive $25 along with 2 call credits per shift. Probationary Firefighters will receive 2 call credits per shift along with $25. Normal call pay and credit will be issued to both morning and afternoon shifts. City of Orono Work Session 11 Sept 2023 Exhibit F = Duty Crews Page 3
