If you signed a contract to do all-hours firefighting, this still doesn't affect that.

That's exactly what this legislation is doing. All it's saying is, if you want off-hours work, make it explicit rather than implicit. If you fire people by expecting firefighting when it's not specified in the contract, you will break the law.
