RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute an Automatic Aid Agreement for Exchange of Fire Protection Services with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. This is a resource-sharing agreement between the two fire districts. There are no direct associated costs.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) and the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (SRV) have agreed that they want to share resources from the District's Fire Station 4 and SRV's Fire Station 32 for response to structural and wildland fire incidents in the service areas adjacent to those fire stations. The districts have determined that this arrangement will increase the reliability of assigning the closest resources to high priority incidents in these service areas.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, both fire districts will be unable to effectively decrease the time it takes to assemble an adequate fire fighting force to respond to high priority incidents in the affected service areas.
