Custom Rates?

[blake1334]

Anyone know where i can get the rates for firefighters and all equipment?
I found all the equipment on the FEMA website but i saw nothing about hourly firefighter rates. I dont care if it is MABAS or FEMA rates, just a standard rate that i can use? Any help would be appriciated.....

thanks

Now that MABAS charges to be a member they have hired someone. Also there are regional Ops section chiefs. I would give one of them an email or phone call and get the information from them. If by some chance you cant get the contact info I have the Southern regions info.

This is for fire protection districts:

(70 ILCS 705/11f) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 31f)
Sec. 11f. Charge against non‑residents.
(a) The board of trustees of a fire protection district may fix, charge, and collect fees not exceeding the reasonable cost of the service for all services rendered by the district against persons, businesses and other entities who are not residents of the fire protection district.
(b) Such charge may not be assessed against residents of the fire protection district or persons who request fire protection coverage for an unprotected area and who pay to the fire protection district an amount equal to the district's Fire Protection Tax pursuant to Section 4 of the Fire Protection of Unprotected Area Act.
(c) The charge for such services shall be computed at a rate not to exceed $125 per hour per vehicle and not to exceed $35 per hour per firefighter responding to a call for assistance. An additional charge may be levied to reimburse the district for extraordinary expenses of materials used in rendering such services. No charge shall be made for services for which the total charge would be less than $50.
(d) All revenue from the charges assessed pursuant to this Section shall be deposited to the general fund of the fire protection district.

I would not say "charges" is the right word, but you do need to pay dues. There are 3 section chiefs, north, middle, and south. Any MABAS questions are to be funneled through them.
