If a husband and wife are both firefighters, do they both get the exemption or is it just one per household? |
Right now, I'm relying on the fire chiefs to verify their membership. I'm leaving it up to the chiefs to decide who they consider a fireman. Then if they're calling the person who stops by once every five years to sweep the floor a fireman, we'll reconsider it next year. |
The law is open-ended. It doesn't say if it should be given to full-blown firemen or someone who is helping or performing other functions, like directing traffic at fires. There are different categories of volunteers and different departments have different categories. |
Would the exemption go with them and would they get credit for the time they volunteered with first? Those questions have to be answered. |
