Paragraph 3
Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, a person shall hold and vacate office as a non-executive member in accordance with the terms of his appointment.
The non-executive members may not be appointed for a term of more than 4 years at a time, and a person appointed to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the term of the person in whose place he is appointed.
A person may at any time resign as a non-executive member by notice in writing to the Department.
The Department may remove a person from office as a non-executive member if satisfied that—
he has been convicted of a criminal offence;
he has become bankrupt or made a composition or arrangement with his creditors;
he has failed to comply with the terms of his appointment; or
he is otherwise unable or unfit to carry out his functions.
Where a person ceases to be the Chief Fire and Rescue Officer, he ceases to be a member.
