In order for a volunteer member to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance, the member must be registered with the State Fire Marshal as a member of a regularly organized volunteer fire department serving the borough or serve a full-time fire department of the borough on a temporary, volunteer basis. The chief fiscal officer shall keep a roll of those eligible for such insurance with the same information regarding each volunteer member as is kept for other borough employees. All volunteer members desiring to be covered by such insurance shall register with the chief fiscal officer on the roll of volunteer members and no such person shall be accepted for enrollment until the chief of the fire department of the borough certifies such person as being an active member of the department. It shall be the duty of any volunteer member enrolled as such to submit the member’s resignation when no longer serving as an active member of the department and upon such resignation such person shall be stricken from the roll. It shall be the duty of the chief of the department to determine which members are active and to cause the chief fiscal officer to strike from the rolls the name of any person who ceases to be an active member of the department.
