DEPAR'l'MBII'l'.
Whereas Chapter M.45, Sections 210, Subsection (31) of the
Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, provides that Council may by by-law
establish and regulate a Fire Department.
Therefore, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Bruce
enact the following amendment to By-law No. 94-6 to establish and
regulate the Paisley and Area Fire Department:
1. (a) That current Paragraph 4(b) be deleted; and
(b) That the following paragraph be inserted in the place of
Paragraph 4(b) of By-law No. 94-6.
Persons who wish to be a member of the Paisley Fire Department
must supply the Fire Chief with a current document stating
that this person is in good physical condition.
This document must be signed by a doctor and shall be dated no
more than 90 days prior to the request of verification by the
Fire Chief.
Once accepted to be a member of the Fire Department, the same
medical conditions must be followed and if at any time they
cannot be adhered to this must be brought to the attention of
the Fire Chief.
.
At this time, the Fire Chief shall contact the Chairman of the
Fire Committee and notify them that we have a concern about a
firefighter's medical condition. If the condition is thought
to be severe enough to h.-per the firefighters duties, the
Fire Chief will ask for the person not to respond to any
emergency situations until the Fire COImIittee and the Fire
Chief have a chance to review wi th the firefighter, the status
change in the medical condition.
At any time the Fire Chief has concerns about the physical
health of one of the firefighters, he may again ask for the
firefighter not to respond to any emergency calls until the
Fire Committee has been notified.

If the Fire cOImIittee feels the need that a person must go and
see a physician to verify that they are in good physical
shape, in order to perform the duties of the firefighter, the
Coamittee will cover the cost of the third party medical
request, which will be done by a physician of the Fire
Coggdttee's choice.
At any time a firefighter is not able to supply the Fire Chief
with a signed medical certificate, indicating the said person
is in good medical condition, the firefighter may be asked to
resign from the Fire Department, again only after the Fire
COImIittee has a meeting with both the firefighter and Fire
Chief.

medical standards required by the Ministry of Transportation
of Ontario, for persons required to have either a Class "A",
