Fresno City Fire Department
100 Administrative Manual
SECTION 109.001 INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The Rules and Regulations policies cannot, nor are they expected to, provide a
solution to every question or problem that may arise in an organization established to
render emergency service. However, it is expected that they will be sufficiently
comprehensive to cover, either in a specific or general way, the obligations, and duties
of the members of the Fresno Fire Department.
POLICY
These Rule and Regulations are not designed nor intended to limit any member in the
exercise of his/her judgment or initiative in taking the action a reasonable person
would take in extraordinary situations. The loyalty, integrity, and discretion of
members, to the degree that the individual member demonstrates possession of these
qualities in the application of a conscientious discharge of his/her duty, and to that
degree alone, with the Department, measures up to the high standard required of the
service.
Where applicable, these Rules and Regulations shall also apply to all non-firefighting
employees assigned to this Department.
Effective Date: October 2007 Billy P. Alcorn, Fire Chief
