(A) The Township Fire Chief or his or her designate shall make an initial determination of the nature and amount of the appropriate fees and charges and the identity of the person who has received the benefit of a basic fire protection or related emergency service. Any person aggrieved by either of those determinations may appeal to the Township Board by submitting (within 28 days of the mailing date of a notice of initial determination), a written request for a hearing and a final determination.
(B) The determination of labor and equipment fees shall be based on the rates provided in the schedule of fees and charges. Fee periods shall be calculated from the time of dispatch until one hour after each firefighter or piece of equipment has left the scene. In the case of firefighters, fee periods shall include any period not to exceed seven days during which a firefighter is receiving emergency medical treatment for an injury sustained in the course and scope of his or her duties.
(C) Charges assessed pursuant to this chapter are supplementary to and not in derogation of levied taxes which support fire protection operations, equipment or buildings.
