Duckworth, City Manager FROM Gerald R. Gardner, Fire Chief *� - SUBJECT: Request for approval of Fire Protection/ Rescue Automatic Aid Agreement with the City of E1 Monte Fire Department Background Since 1968 the Cities of Arcadia and E1 Monte have provided fire protection /rescue assistance under an existing mutual aid agreement. As part of that agreement, E1 Monte has responded an engine company into the southeastern area of the city (Chicago Park) on a routine basis as part of a first alarm assignment. This cooperation has been very beneficial in providing adequate fire protection coverage to Arcadia businesses located in this area. However it is now desirous to upgrade this arrangement into an Automatic Aid /Initial Action Agreement to insure continued assistance from El Monte. Staff is also pursuing a similar agreement with the City of Monrovia to cover deficient response time areas in the southeastern portion of the city. The objective being to provide better service for the City of Arcadia. The Automatic Aid Agreement will be very similar to the agreement we currently have with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Basically the closest fire station responds to the emergency regardless of jurisdiction. El Monte Stations 24 and 22 are closer to Chicago Park than any of our stations and can quickly respond into this area to provide faster service. E1 Monte has agreed to respond an engine company and a truck company to all fire and rescue incidents in the area identified as Exhibit "A ". As with all mutual aid agreements, Arcadia will be required to reciprocate by responding a paramedic unit as a back up in the northwestern area of El Monte. Arcadia Rescue 31 will respond to the area identified as Exhibit "B" when El Monte's paramedic unit is not available. Page 2 Automatic Aid with El Monte January 19, 1993 Arcadia will retain full authority and responsibility for all services within the city as will E1 Monte within their jurisdiction. This is a reciprocal agreement based upon the mutual aid concept and no compensation will be paid by either department. Recommendation If this meets with your approval, it is recommended that Council approve the agreement for exchange of fire protection and rescue services (Automatic Aid /Initial Action) in such form as approved by the City Attorney: Cz Gerald R. Gardner Fire chief App nal'd R. Du ty Manager GRG /mr AGREEMENT FOR EXCHANGE OF FIRE PROTECTION AND RESCUE SERVICES AUTOMATIC AID /INITIAL ACTION THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered into this day of , 1993, by and between the City of E1 Monte hereinafter referred to as "E1 Monte" and the City of Arcadia, hereinafter referred to as "Arcadia ".
