We are fortunate to be part of a strong community of high-quality fire departments that are ready to support one another when calls and situations arise that are beyond the capacity of a single department. To safeguard residents across our county, metro area and beyond, our area departments support each other through mutual aid partnerships. Please watch this discussion with Fire Chief Bill Bowes giving great information and context to mutual aid.
A couple of quick points:
- Of our department’s approximately 80 calls per week, about 2 or 3 require mutual aid.
- Mutual aid is reciprocal. Our department gives about as much mutual aid as we receive.
- Mutual aid makes the most efficient use of tax dollars for all partners involved. Calls are sporadic and unpredictable. Mutual aid allows departments to staff for their normal call volumes, but request and give aid to other departments when call volumes peak.
