North Carolina Industrial Commission February 3, 1995, I.C. No. 167600 (Melton v. New London Fire Dept./bethany Fire Dept.)

The primary issue in this case is whether Mr. Melton was acting in the course and scope of his role as a member of the New London/Bethany Volunteer Fire Department, when he was injured. This was an unpaid position to which the Act extends by special provisions. N.C.G.S. § 97-2(5).
