department which may be directly affected by any war emergency

such emergency shall act as chief of emergency service of his
department. In that capacity he shall have charge of providing
for such service as may be required of his department in any
war emergency, and may call for and accept volunteers ~or the
purposes of such service, and dismiss any volunteer at any
time and require him to surrender his equipment and insignia
or identification furnished by the village. Every volunteer
for any such emergency service shall take the same oath, if any,
as is required of the members of the regular village forces
performing corresponding service. Subject to the other pro-
visions hereof, every such volunteer shall be under the direc-
tion and subject to the orders of the chief of the service
to which he belongs, and shall perform such duties as the
chief may require within the scope of the functions of such
service. The several chiefs of the emergency services may
make and enforce all necessary .and proper rules or orders,
conforming with the provisions hereof, to regulate the opera-
tion of their respective services, to define the duties of
the regular or volunteer members thereof, and to secure
efficiency and discipline therein. The chiefs shall provide
suitable instruction and training for the members of their
services. Volunteers shall be called into active service only
in case of a war emergency for which the regular municipal
