1. Mutual Aid Agreement - Closest Emergency Response Unit
• This is a joint powers agreement with the city fire departments of Maplewood,
St. Paul, Lake Johanna, Roseville, Little Canada, North St. Paul, New Brighton,
and White Bear Lake. The agreement is to provide and receive mutual aid, and to
dispatch the closest equipment and personnel to emergency events (i.e. cardiac
arrest and structure fires).
The city currently participates in mutual aid with surrounding cities, but the city
would have to call to receive that mutual aid. The proposed joint powers
1IPage
agreement would automatically dispatch the closest unit, and the City Fire
Department would still be dispatched along with the closest unit.
