In addition to Section 59-1302(16), Idaho Code, the definition of a firefighter member for retirement purposes is an employee appointed to the position of fire chief by a city council but not eligible to be a "paid firefighter," or the chief fire warden of a timber protective association, or is an employee of either the department of lands or of a timber protective association whose primary position and principal accountability in that position either requires direct supervision of employees engaged in the prevention, presuppression and suppression of wild land fires or requires the performance of those duties as the principal function of the position. A firefighter member for retirement purposes does not include an employee who may be required on occasion to engage in those functions as a secondary requirement of the position.
