Automatic Aid. Automatic aid responses will be based upon the immediate operational capacity in the receiving jurisdiction and need to respond with the nearest available resources, and will generally be dispatched as a matter of routine by applicable dispatch centers or public safety answering points (PSAPs). The responding Party will provide personnel and equipment, to the extent that such personnel and equipment are reasonably available, in the responding Party’s sole discretion, based upon established practices which include dispatching protocols that are set forth and informally agreed upon by each individual Party. Automatic aid will typically be provided at no cost to the requesting Party. However, if the incident involving automatic aid is one in which cost recovery from a third party is available, pursuant to federal, State, or local law, such as hazardous materials release, the Party in whose jurisdiction the incident occurs is strongly encouraged to invoice and collect recoverable costs. In the event a Party receives such funds, the collecting Party will proportionally distribute funds to additional Parties as applicable pursuant to the relative costs incurred during the response.
Automatic Aid. The EMS department, fire department or district that first arrives to handle the initial response will assume Incident Command and will retain such command until relieved by an appropriate officer of the EMS department, fire department or district within whose jurisdiction the situation is located; thereafter, the appropriate relieving officer shall assume Incident Command. If the incident commander determines that there is still a need for additional assistance from the fire departments or districts of other Parties to this Agreement, the same dispatching procedure shall be used. With the exception of taking operational direction as part of incident command as provided for in this Agreement, for all other purposes the responding resources and personnel will be considered to be operating as part of the responding Party and not the Party receiving such automatic aid.
