Why So Many Half Truths? Yes we Can Require the Chief to Live in the Fire District

Half of what we're told is BS. We're told we can't have a residency requirement for our firefighters. 

Half true, we can't require a firefighter to live in Dolan or Meadview. We can require the chief to live here since the law does not apply to executive-level firefighters. 


Section 48-824 - Firefighter; residency requirement; prohibition; exemption; definition
A.    A fire district shall not impose any residency requirement on any firefighter as a condition of employment.

B. This section does not apply to executive-level firefighters.

C. For the purposes of this section, "firefighter" means a professional firefighter who is a member of a city, town, county or fire district fire department.
A.R.S. § 48-824
