At issue was whether WorkSafeBC policy pertaining to coverage of volunteer firefighters should be amended to reflect current practice. Specifically, the following issues were identified for policy clarification:

• Coverage during participation in off-site training sessions which have a strong practice component; and
• Coverage during travel in cases of emergency.
• Recognizing the expanded scope of a volunteer firefighter's duties; and
• Replacing reference to “fire brigade” and “siren” with updated language.
