Wi volunteer firefighter responding from work

What does the law state in Wisconsin for volunteers to respond to calls from work? There are articles of statutes trying to be passed, but I cannot find any written law to print out. My employer now stated I can only leave for structure or mutual aid fires. I tried to explain the equal importance between MVA and fires. Just looking for anything thats already in law. Thanks

yes it definately is! lol. i would much rather be at a structure fire than at work and i think many others would agree with this exact statement but we have to do what we have to do.. our families need us just as much and the money is a necessary evil!
