Justice Benvenga in his decision
took judicial note of what he
termed "laudible motive" b u t
pointed out that the practice would
be detrimental TO the interests of
the Fire Department.
The Court wrote:
'But. as has been wisely re-
marked. conflagrations wait no
man. For that reason, a fireman
is potentially on duty at all times.
He is obliged to answer alarms
even when off duty. To be eff
cient. he must at all times be in
good physical conditions"
The court pointed out that Mr..
Calfapietra, working on two jobs
at distant places without sufficient
time for rest and relaxation. could
not properly and efficiently per-
form his duties as a fireman.
