Volunteer entities for the safety off everyone like for example Malta Red Cross rely on volunteers. Training is done regularly but sometimes this needs to be done during day time. Volunteers have to take leave from work for that. In some countries registered volunteers get extra leave days for that. Also when called out in real emergency their boss cannot refuse them to go and they get full pay. As far as I know, nothing is regulated in Malta. There are hundreds volunteers with various entities.
