A “Mutual” is an agreement between two individuals of the same rank to trade Station and/or shift assignments for a specific period of time. Mutuals are not permanent. Mutuals can be between individuals on the same shift or on different shifts. The individuals involved may set the time frame of the “Mutual”, however, no mutual shall exceed twelve (12) months from the initial date. At the end of the twelve months both individuals will return to their original assignments. Both individuals must physically be able to meet their assigned Station requirements, i.e., if one of the individuals is unable to return to work within the first one-year period due to any reason, the “Mutual” is considered null and void. Individuals must be qualified for the position of the person with whom they are requesting the “Mutual”. Personnel may submit a request for a mutual, in writing, to the Fire Chief, and/or designee.
