What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
Applicant was an employee of the county fire department whose duties were not principally clerical, entitling him to the heart trouble presumption under Labor Code section 3212.
From the decision · page 2(Lab. Code, § 3212, italics added.) The WCJ found that applicant sustained presumptive injury to his heart arising out of and occurring in the course of employment pursuant to section 3212, as he was an employee of the fire department of the county and his duties were not principally clerical.
