Written by a lawyer who
is also an experienced firefighter, this book examines the most challenging
legal issues confronting firefighters and emergency service personnel today.
Readers will explore such

OSHA over fire departments, the applicability of the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act, search and seizure, employment discrimination, residency
requirements, sexual harassment, and more.
Many of the most
significant fires of the past century are also discussed, along with the
cases and legal battles that ensued, so readers can make important

responders today. |
