Night crew members have the same duty night every week, with the following exception: to ensure that no crew is forced to stand duty every Saturday night, we do not have a Saturday night crew. Instead, each sixth week, a "Roving" crew will take your normal duty night. You, in turn, will stand duty on Saturday night and into Sunday day. Sound confusing? Don’t worry, logistics such as this will be explained after you are accepted into the Rescue Squad. Junior members have a shorter duty shift, from 7 pm – 11 pm on school nights. Junior Members who do not have school the next day are encouraged to spend the night at the Rescue Squad to further their experience and training. The weekend duty requirement: Probationary members are required to stand two 5-hour weekend duty shifts (10 hours, total) every two months. Weekend duty shifts are 8am to 1pm, and 1pm to 6pm Saturdays, Sundays, and most federal holidays.
