Territorial civil service employees other than those in the professional fire brigade are recruited and managed by the departmental or territorial fire and rescue service, within the framework of the legislative and regulatory provisions applicable to them.
By way of derogation from article 40 of law no. 84-53 of 26 January 1984 on statutory provisions relating to the territorial civil service, when they are required to occupy a functional post in the fire and rescue services, these agents are appointed jointly by the competent State authority and the chairman of the fire and rescue service’s board of directors.
