FIRE POLICE, WHEN ON DUTY ONLY, ARE ACCORDED LIMITED POLICE POWER STATUS. That means Fire Police have the authority to enforce the law and make arrests. DISOBEYING a FIRE POLICE OFFICER'S request is the same as disobeying a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or a STATE TROOPER. ASSAULTING a FIRE POLICE is a FELONY. All Fire Police Officers are sworn officers of the law, highly skilled and trained in their vocation and have their oath on file with their local municipalities.
