PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS, Colin A. Campbell; International Fire Chiefs Foundation, 1329 18th St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036; 15 pages.
This manual describes the procedures involved in recruiting volunteers for a fire department. Emphasis is placed on the careful selection of individuals whose performance will prove to be an asset rather than a problem to the department. General qualifications, entry standards, and testing methods are discussed.
The chiefs role regarding discipline, motivation and general personnel management is also examined. Various available pensions and benefits for volunteers are briefly reviewed.
