Miscellaneous Information

Small organizations like the SFD can only function adequately when employees are willing to assist in backfill and emergency call back. While there is no designated on-call schedule or program, off-duty firefighters are needed to backfill when fire and rescue calls are underway and are compensated appropriately including a 1hr minimum pay for call back. Except as noted in the City Personnel Policy, the City does not restrict firefighter activities when off-duty. However, to make backfill possible, firefighters will reside in a location that allows the firefighter, when available, the ability to respond (day or night) to the central fire station and be ready for emergency duty within 30 minutes of notification. Firefighter will agree to carry a department issued pager, handheld radio or E-Dispatch capability at all times when within the boundaries of Scurry County while off duty. Firefighter will also actively participate in regularly scheduled drills of the entire department, and in called drills as designated by the Chief. Firefighter agrees to other requirements as outlined in the City of Snyder Personnel Policy, and the SFD Inter-departmental policies and adherence to all SFD SOGs.
