No member of the Union shall be ordered to man any firehouse of any village, city or town other than those of the City of Racine in times of emergency or otherwise if the authorized bargaining agent of the Firefighters for said village, city or town is engaged in a strike. It shall be the duty of the duly qualified officers of the Union to give the Racine Fire Chief at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice that they have been informed by the Union that said strike does in fact exist or will exist at a time certain before a refusal to enter such community’s boundaries for such purposes shall be proper or excusable on the part of any Union members. Upon direction of the Chief or Chief Officer, a Union member shall answer a fire, rescue, or other emergency call from said village, city or town with the provision that said member shall immediately be returned from said village, city or town boundaries upon the completion of the necessary emergency services required.
