Any guidance on departments switching from full volunteer to one or two paid staff (firefighters and engineers) during daytime hours is appreciated. Specifically looking for requirements for personnel, station, medical requirements, job descriptions, SOG/SOP, etc..

I have researched in NFPA standards, OSHA and FLSA laws and feel grasp of understanding of this transition. However, I would like to know any of the lessons learned from any Officers willing to share your short story of success or failure. Please feel free to email me direct also at matthew.barwick@duplincountync.com if you do not feel comfortable replying here.
