Each of the four fire companies shall be charged with the care
and operation of the fire apparatus and fire-fighting equipment allocated
to it by the Fire Board, but such care and operation shall be under
the supervision and control of the Fire Chief of the Borough Volunteer
Fire Department.
No apparatus shall be taken outside of the limits of the Borough
in answering an alarm call of a neighboring municipality without first
obtaining permission from the Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief
or Battalion Chief of the Fire Department or, in his/her absence,
permission from any other member of the Fire Board subject to the
general supervision of the Borough Manager.
There shall be an annual inspection of the fire apparatus, the
date of which is to be determined by the Borough Manager.
None but active firefighters of the Fire Department shall ride
on the fire apparatus when going to or from fires and drills. No apparatus
or equipment is to be permanently withdrawn from service or transferred
without the recommendation of the Fire Board and approved by the Borough
Manager and the Mayor and Council.
Upon the recommendation of the Borough Manager, the Mayor and
Council shall provide suitable space for housing fire apparatus and
equipment for each company and to serve as a meeting place for the
members of the Fire Company. The rental, if any, shall be paid by
the Borough of Fair Lawn.
