Committee to take proposed FD bylaw tweaks and EMS medical-leave limits to the SB for review
Summary
The committee reviewed FD bylaws (last updated 2021) and EMS standard operating guidelines, with Jeff Morin proposing adding a line-item limiting duties for firefighters/EMTs on medical leave to reduce town liability; Susan Culp will present suggested changes to the SB for consideration.
Susan Culp distributed the current Fire Department bylaws, last updated in 2021, and Jeff Morin presented a highlighted draft with suggested procedural changes. Dan Martin reviewed EMS bylaws and standard operating guidelines and reported they appear current and may not need updates.
During the discussion Jeff Morin asked, "Should there be a line-item in these documents to effectively limit what is allowable for that firefighter or EMT in order to minimize any potential liability to the town?" Susan Culp agreed to bring the proposed bylaw tweaks and the medical-leave question to the SB for their review and any action they consider appropriate.
