People ex rel. Bernard v. Wurster

We are of the opinion that the relator herein was employed simply as a laborer, and as such was not of the force for extinguishing fires. The fact that he may have assisted at fires, or worn the costume of a fireman, is immaterial. He was in the employ of the department as a day laborer, and could have been called upon to perform any duty. Therefore the writ should be quashed, without costs. All concur.
