1. Fire Personnel desiring to avail themselves for voluntary recall assignment shall use the Vector Scheduling platform. Use the green calendar from Vector Scheduling home page. Choose the date, click “Availability Period” to set availability for that day. Do not choose specific assignments, it may cause an error and you may not be contacted for callback. Personnel may sign up anytime but to be included in a scheduled Callback you must be signed up by the prior tour when recall is initiated. Callback rankings are dynamic so hours will adjust after Callback is scheduled to reflect additional recall worked.

2. Scheduled Callbacks will be sent via Vector Scheduling 2 days prior to shift. All Callbacks are based on the members overtime hours and availability. Callbacks are accepted via text message and must include the 7-digit callback code and the worksite code or via the Vector Scheduling app.

If a member must cancel a previously accepted Callback shift, the member must use Vector Scheduling “Request Time Off” and choose “cancel Callback” indicate in notes the position you previously accepted.

Members contacted to fill positions later in the tour shall report to their assignments on time, to the second.
