When discussing extra/off-duty work in the public safety community, most think of work conducted by law enforcement agencies and off-duty police officers. However, for large scale events, such as public demonstrations, concerts, parades, fairs/festivals, etc. the presence of fire and EMS personnel is critical. This practice is also becoming more prevalent as business communities plan large events and hire more off-duty public safety personnel.
Filling positions at special events is not as easy as it was in the past. In addition, most fire and EMS agencies require their personnel to work 24-hour shifts and have required minimum constant staffing. Constant staffing is not usually a requirement for most law enforcement agencies. This often requires Fire and EMS personnel to work mandatory overtime to cover when personnel take leave. It also means that there is not enough on duty staffing to cover large scale events.
Therefore, staff is required to work overtime, or be hired in an off-duty capacity by organizers to work the event.
