My township Volunteer Fire Department is currently in discussion with the Mayor of our neighboring City regarding automatic response by the City Fire Department to two buildings in our district. The Mayor is requiring that the City be compensated by the Township Supervisors for automatic response to these buildings. These 2 buildings consist of an extended care facility and a large complex containing a High School, Vocational Technical School, a Technology School and a proposed Elementary School with the possibility of 650 children.
I am attempting to find out how the other paid fire departments are handling automatic mutual aid to other fire departments in their area. Any information regarding contracts, agreements or compensation that you have with your surrounding fire departments you could provide me would be very beneficial in this discussion. I would like to stress that the Volunteer Fire Department has a long history of working closely with the City Fire Department.
