SERIES CONCEPT


Volunteer Fire Fighters perform fire suppression duties on a university 
campus; and perform other related duties as required.

Incumbents are usually full-time university employees with primary assignments
in departments other than a campus fire department. Volunteer Fire Fighters
typically perform limited operational and/or sub-operational level fire 
suppression duties as required during working and non-working hours; 
participate in fire drills and attend classroom instruction as required; and 
may perform the duties of higher-classified positions (e.g. Fire Fighter) 
during emergencies and/or as part of staff training and development programs.

The series consists of two levels. Volunteer Fire Fighter Trainee is the 
trainee entry level; and Volunteer Fire Fighter is the limited operational 
level.


                          CLASS CONCEPTS


Volunteer Fire  Fighter

Under general supervision, incumbents perform limited operational and/or sub-
operational level fire suppression duties as required in emergency situations
and perform other duties as outlined in the Series Concept. The Volunteer Fire
Fighter class is distinguished from the Volunteer Fire Fighter Trainee class
in that incumbents perform limited fire suppression duties at the operational
level of difficulty.

Volunteer Fire Fighter Trainee

Under supervision, incumbents perform sub-operational level suppression duties
as required. Incumbents typically assist Fire Fighters, Student Fire Fighters
and/or Volunteer Fire Fighters in fire suppression duties during emergency or
non-emergency situations as required; and participate in fire drills and 
attend classroom instruction.
