Last month, an off-duty Massachusetts firefighter was critically injured in 40-foot fall from a training tower while working a part-time job. During his recovery, questions were raised about his career department covering his time and expenses but he wasn't working for the department when the incident covered. It has sparked many discussions on medical benefits and time coverage.
