This agreement is entered into under the authority of RCW 52.12.031(3). Each of the parties owns and maintains equipment for the suppression of fires and for the supplying of emergency medical services. Each of the parties also retains fire-fighting personnel who are trained to provide various levels of emergency medical services. Each of the parties has the necessary equipment and personnel to enable it to provide service to the other party in the event of an emergency. The geographical boundaries of each party are located in such a manner as to enable each party to render automatic aid service to the other whereby it benefits the residents of both jurisdictions. In the event of a major fire, disaster or other emergency, each of the parties will need the assistance of the other party to provide supplemental fire suppression and emergency medical service equipment and personnel. It is the purpose of this agreement to establish an automatic first alarm response system between the parties to this agreement to afford greater fire suppression and emergency medical services to each of the parties in certain geographic areas known as response zones The parties, to carry out the purposes and functions described above and in consideration of the benefits to be received by each of the parties, agree as follows: The first alarm response service shall apply to pre-determined areas, further known as response zones, established by the Chiefs of the fire departments of the parties pursuant to this agreement. Run Cards. The Chief of each party, or the Chiefs authorized representative, shall annually establish a series of response run cards to meet the service requirements of the response zones. These cards shall determine those alarms to which the other party shall respond on first alarm and on subsequent alarms. The cards shall set forth the following information: Name, description and location of structure or response zone; Description of equipment and designation of companies to respond to each alarm. Request for Assistance. The commanding officer of the fire department or the officer in charge of a fire unit or an emergency medical service unit at the scene of an emergency, of either party, is authorized to request assistance from the other party if confronted with an emergency situation at which the requesting party has need for equipment or personnel in excess of that available at the requesting party's fire department. Response to Request. Upon receipt of such a request, the commanding officer of the party receiving the request shall immediately take the following action: 1 Determine if the responding party has equipment and personnel available to respond to the requesting party and determine the nature of the equipment and number of personnel available. 2 Determine what available equipment and what available personnel should be dispatched in accordance with the operating plans and procedures established by the parties. 3 In the event the needed equipment and personnel are available, to dispatch such equipment and personnel to the scene of the emergency with proper operating instructions. 4 In the event the needed equipment and personnel are not available, to immediately advise the requesting party of such fact. Response Procedure. On receipt of an alarm covered by a run card, the receiving party, providing the required equipment and personnel are available, shall immediately dispatch the equipment and personnel prescribed by the run card. In the event such equipment and personnel are not available, the receiving party shall immediately advise the commanding officer of the requesting party of that fact. Command Responsibility at Emergency Scene. The chief officer or senior officer of the party to which the response is made shall be in command of the operations under which the equipment and personnel sent by the responding party shall serve; provided, that the responding equipment and personnel shall be under the immediate supervision of the officer in charge of the responding apparatus. The operational command, however, may be relinquished to the senior officer of any fire department rendering assistance under the terms of this agreement. Termination of Service. The equipment and personnel of the responding party shall be released from service and returned to the responding party by the commanding officer in charge of the operations as soon as conditions may warrant or in the event an emergency should occur in the responding party's jurisdiction.

Insurance. Each party agrees to maintain adequate insurance coverage for its own equipment and personnel. Compensation. Each party agrees that it will not seek compensation for services rendered under this agreement from the other party; provided, however, that the party requesting assistance shall attempt to obtain financial assistance from federal and state agencies where financial assistance is available to reimburse the assisting party for losses or damages incurred in supplying automatic aid under this agreement. Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit any party to this agreement from seeking civil damages from any individual or entity, which may have been responsible for the emergency conditions for which aid was requested. Pre-Emergency Planning. The chief officers of the parties shall, from time to time, establish pre-emergency plans, which shall indicate the types of and locations of potential problem areas where emergency assistance may be needed, the type of equipment that should be dispatched under various possible circumstances and the number of personnel that should be dispatched under the existing circumstances. The plans shall take into consideration and insure the proper protection by the responding party of its own geographical area. Pre-Emergency Training. The chief officers of the parties shall, from time to time, conduct pre-emergency training of the personnel of the parties. Such training shall be designed to provide familiarizations of the personnel with the equipment and techniques of the other party and to train the personnel in the fire fighting methods to be used when responding to the structures covered by the run cards.
