The court ruled that an injury sustained by a temporary firefighter playing football during work hours constitutes a compensable work accident. The employee argued the match was part of their duties, while the insurer disputed the connection to official tasks. The court determined that participation in the match occurred within the scope of employment, thereby allowing the claim.
