Fire Police 5
Fire Police 5 : Fire Police Around The World: (2) United States: (2. 1) Connecticut: Unlike many other Fire Police departments, those in Connecticut do not necessarily have police powers or acts as sworn agents of a body of government. Instead, their authority flows directly from the Fire Chief of their parent Fire Department; however, this authority relates only to fire drills, emergencies within the fire district, and mutual aid situations. Nevertheless, the Mayor or First Selectman of some towns may give Fire Police Constable status despite this worldwide custom. The state of Connecticut requires that Fire Police Officers are officially appointed by the Fire Chief, and it provides them with, among other things, distinctive badges of office, headgear, reflective equipment. All Connecticut Fire Police are certified by the Connecticut Fire Police Association under the standards of the Connecticut Fire Academy, and many fire departments have specialized or modified their apparatus for traffic control. For instance, the Hebron Volunteer Fire Company (Hebron, CT) has Service 310, a modified, retired ambulance. Colchester Hayward Volunteer Fire Company has Service 328, a utility pick-up truck that it has modified specifically for traffic control by equipping it to hold many cones and signs. This is spelled out in Connecticut statute under Chapter 104, Section 7-313a
