Firefighters – Not Volunteer & DriversDescription
Code 7710 applies to employers engaged in operating a fire department for salaried firefighters. It also applies to paid firefighters of a volunteer fire company. The employer’s duties consist of extinguishing dangerous fires and saving victims from fires or accidents. Salaried firefighters are stationed in the firehouse on call for any emergency calls in their district or zone. The local police precinct or a 911 emergency dispatcher will notify and provide the employer’s main firehouse dispatcher with detailed information of the emergency such as the location and type of emergency. The employer’s dispatcher, usually located in the employer’s main firehouse, will notify the nearest firehouse of the emergency.
