Virtually every firefighter I know has a second Job, so I would probably allow 3 secondary activities or perhaps another overlapping term with half points.
British firefighters usually work four days on followed by four days off. The four days on generally consists of two days of day shift followed by two days of night shift.

Like their French and American counterparts I believe it's common for them to have a second job - taxi driver is apparently a favourite. Quite a few are also decent golfers...
