services as a firefighter earned from the date of his or her minimum
period to the date of his or her retirement.

b. " Firefighter" means a paid officer or member of the uniformed
force of the fire department of a city.

c. "Minimum period" means a fixed number of years of service as a

retirement from such service.

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or local
law, charter or administrative code and in lieu of any lesser amount
thereby prescribed, in the event a firefighter has served as such for
his or her minimum period and thereafter continues in such service, upon
his or her subsequent retirement for any cause whatsoever, there shall

which he or she was entitled upon such retirement, an additional amount
computed at the rate of one-sixtieth of his or her final compensation
for each year of such additional service.
