<br />73 <br /> <br /> <br />25.8 Routine Work Assignments <br /> <br />It is the practice of the Redwood City Fire Department to complete routine work <br />assignments prior to 1700 hours each day. <br /> <br />While this practice is normally adhered to, operational problems and training <br />needs must also be considered. Firefighting personnel assigned to a twenty-four <br />(24) hour shift are expected to be ready to respond to any emergency which <br />occurs during the shift. Shift personnel are expected to maintain the equipment <br />and the station in proper order so that they can respond to fire and emergency <br />calls at all times. <br /> <br />Routine duties will normally be completed prior to 1700 hours. Night training, <br />which prepares firefighting personnel for night time emergency operation, may <br />be scheduled for after 1700 hours. <br /> <br />The training program will regularly be evaluated to insure that the program is <br />effective and that desired results are achieved. <br /> <br />On New Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas the normal routine Fire <br />Department duties shall be suspended. <br /> <br />Employees may work on personal projects after 1700 provided that any work <br />related to motor vehicles other than washing and cleaning of the vehicle is <br />prohibited and personal projects do not interfere with scheduled Department <br />activities. Work on personal projects is to be immediately foregone in case of an <br />emergency call. <br /> <br />25.9 Common Mess <br /> <br />All station meals will be conducted under a common mess with contributions by each <br />employee on a shift, even if the employee chooses not to eat the meal. <br /> <br />SECTION 26 – APPARATUS STAFFING <br /> <br />The City shall assign three (3) Fire Fighting personnel to operate each engine company, <br />four (4) Fire Fighting personnel to operate each ladder truck, two (2) Fire Fighting <br />personnel to operate each reserve truck, and one (1) Fire Fighting personnel to operate <br />each rescue truck dispatched for emergency service. <br /> <br />Depending on the number of personnel on duty, staffing for each station may vary. <br />Employees may refer to Lexipol Policy Manual Division 5, Article 5-7, and “Apparatus <br />Staffing." <br />6.A. - Page 84 of 99 <br />91
