Volunteer fire department and logbook

I know after some fires I was pretty wiped out and would be in no condition to drive so common sense is required. Now whether I logged it or not? I plead the 5th.

 

I don't know about the fire department, but if you run within 100 air miles you do not need a logbook regardless of if it is interstate or intrastate.

 

Just remember that in the case of an accident its gonna be real easy for lawyers to find out that had another job and were not logging it. Then your in hot water.

 

They consider any secondary job to be logged on line 4. On Duty/Not Driving.

 

I think the key here is VOLUNTEER fire department. Is volunteering considered a job? I don't know.

 

I would say no but it can be very exhausting so some good sense would be required for safety

 

Find out if they indeed pay you a "stipend" at the end of the year. If they do, it is considered compensation for work performed. And that would require you to log your time volunteering as On Duty (if you're required to fill out a log book at all).

Stipend - a fixed regular sum paid as a salary or allowance.

 

Compensated work must be logged... if the work is voluntary then It is not logged
