A. As used in this section and Section 4 of this act:1
1. “Combination fire department” means a fire department which has in its employ more than two full-time salaried firefighters and at least one but not more than twenty-five volunteer firefighters. However, a fire department that would otherwise be considered a “combination fire department” under this definition but for the fact that it had more than twenty-five (25) volunteer firefighters on June 1, 2003, shall be considered a “combination fire department” as long as it does not exceed the number of volunteer firefighters that it had on June 1, 2003; and
2. “Volunteer firefighter of a combination fire department” means a person who is enrolled as a volunteer member of a combination fire department and who serves in such capacity without receiving a regular salary. The person, who is a salaried employee of a municipality, shall not serve as a volunteer firefighter of a combination fire department if such service as a volunteer firefighter is a condition of employment with the municipality. A person, who is a salaried public safety employee of a municipality, shall not serve as a volunteer firefighter of a combination fire department unless the person is off duty and such service is not a condition of employment.
B. For the purposes of this subsection, a public safety employee is a person employed to serve as a salaried firefighter, police or other law enforcement officer or emergency medical technician.
