RE:
Advisory opinion request from Springhill Fire Department Assistant Chief Joseph Montondo regarding whether it is ethical for a firefighter to receive compensation from two neighboring fire districts for the same call.
Facts:
Mr. Montondo has asked whether there is a violation of the Code of Governmental Ethics if a fireman is compensated by two neighboring fire departments for the same call. The fire departments in his area have mutual aid agreements and some volunteer firefighters are on call for more than one fire department. Therefore, the same firefighter may be called by two different fire departments to fight the same fire.
Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.
Assigned Attorney: Suzanne Mooney
