Okla. Stat. tit. 11, § 11-29-301: Definitions

A. As used in this section and Section 4 of this act:

1. “Combination fire department” means a fire department which

has in its employ more than two full-time salaried firefighters and

at least one but not more than twenty-five volunteer firefighters.

However, a fire department that would otherwise be considered a

“combination fire department” under this definition but for the fact

that it had more than twenty-five (25) volunteer firefighters on

June 1, 2003, shall be considered a “combination fire department” as

long as it does not exceed the number of volunteer firefighters that

it had on June 1, 2003; and

2. “Volunteer firefighter of a combination fire department”

means a person who is enrolled as a volunteer member of a

combination fire department and who serves in such capacity without

receiving a regular salary. The person, who is a salaried employee

of a municipality, shall not serve as a volunteer firefighter of a

combination fire department if such service as a volunteer

firefighter is a condition of employment with the municipality. A

person, who is a salaried public safety employee of a municipality,

shall not serve as a volunteer firefighter of a combination fire

department unless the person is off duty and such service is not a

condition of employment.

B. For the purposes of this subsection, a public safety

employee is a person employed to serve as a salaried firefighter,

police or other law enforcement officer or emergency medical

technician.
