A Fire education dog can also generate a calming effect at the fire station among fire department employees, improve morale and inspire employee exercise. Policy: This policy applies to Fayetteville Fire Department employees only. ■ The focus of our policy is dogs. Other pets are not included at this time. ® AOG's will be created and maintained regarding Requirements, Safety, Responsibilities, and Scheduling procedures. ■ All creation, maintenance, and changes of AOG's will follow the LMT process established in AOP-101.
