Except by reason of illness, no member of the Fire Department
shall be absent from duty without first making application for leave
of absence, stating in detail the cause and duration of such requested
absence and presenting the same to the Fire Chief for the Chief's
approval. Violation of this rule will be deemed absence without leave
and subject the offender to loss of pay during absence and to charges.
Unexplained absence of any member of the Fire Department of
five days may, at the recommendation of the Township Administrator
and the Fire Chief to the Township Council, be deemed and held to
be a resignation of such member and accepted as such.
