HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - October 16, 1996 (39)AGENDA TITLE: Agreement for Exchange of Fire Protection and Rescue
Services with the Woodbridge Fire District
MEETING DATE: October 16, 1996
PREPARED BY: Interim Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve an agreement for exchange of fire protection and rescue services
with the Woodbridge Fire District. This agreement will authorize the affected agency fire chiefs to determine the scope of the
service area and the methods of operation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The agreement for exchange of fire protection and rescue services (known as
"Automatic Aid") had been discussed at a City Council shirtsleeve session in July of 1995. The purpose for this agreement is to
provide expedient responses to emergencies for fire and rescue situations in border areas of the City. The Woodbridge Fire District,
because of its unique location in relation to these areas, is willing to assist our response assignment for a reciprocal exchange of a
ladder truck response into their downtown business district and five designated locations near highway 99.
The scope of this agreement has been significantly scaled back from the original version presented by the former fire chief.
The attached maps will outline the affected areas of the exchange for services. The thought process behind the new version was the
idea that we realize the significance for the services exchange in areas of immediate need. Chief Wright from the Woodbridge Fire
District and I both feel that this reasonable exchange will be of benefit to both of our constituents. We will also monitor these
responses and scale back the scope even further if we find that responses into the exchange areas have an insignificant impact. It
must be noted that both of our agencies will continue to respond to all responses within our jurisdictions. The exchange of services
will only expedite a response into our area and enhance responses within the Woodbridge district with a ladder truck. It must also be
noted that the day to day mutual aid agreement that has served all of the fire agencies within the County for over 30 years will still
remain in effect. It is estimated that responses into the City under this agreement will range from 18-25 calls per year and that calls
into the district will range from 12-15 calls per year,
Training issues between the agencies has seen a significant improvement since 1994 when the agencies started regularly
training together. Appropriate training for area familiarization and continued manipulative performance training between the
agencies will continue to exist.
Dispatch communications has been discussed with the Lodi PSAP and County PSAP supervisors and we have their support
for the arrangement.
The United Firefighters of Lodi has expressed concerns regarding the lack of a plan to provide service to the area with City
of Lodi resources. I am in agreement with them on that point. Continued development will necessitate the development of a fire
station in the western area of the City. The Woodbridge Fire District will not continue to provide service to areas as the City
expands. The purpose for this agreement is to provide services to fringe areas of immediate need. It is my intention to re -write the
1988 fire station location master plan through the C.I.P. process and provide the City Council with proposed recommendations for
the plan and inclusions into the appropriate budget cycle.

AGREEMENT
EXCHANGE OF FIRE PROTECTION AND RESCUE SERVICES
PARTIES:
This agreement is made by and between the City of Lodi, a municipal corporation
("City") and the Woodbridge Fire Protection District ("District") on this day of
1996.
RECITALS:
The parties to this agreement provide fire protection and rescue services within their
respective territorial limits.
It is in the best interests of the citizens of District and the City that the parties offer the
most expeditious response to suppress fires and provide rescue services.
It is to the mutual advantage and benefit of the parties to this agreement to render
supplemental fire protection and rescue services to each other in the event of fire or other local
emergency which is or is likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment
and facilities of the agency having jurisdiction over the area in which the emergency occurs
and which requires the services of the other to control.
Each party is desirous of providing to the other a reasonable and reciprocal exchange
of fire and rescue services on a day-to-day basis.
The exchange of services under such conditions is authorized by Article 2 of Chapter 2
of Part I of Division 12 of the Health and Safety Code; Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of
Title 1 of the Government Code and Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of Division 2 of

7. In cases in which the aiding department arrives before the jurisdictional department,
the aiding department will take the necessary action dictated by the situation; it is
intended by the parties that the jurisdictional department will arrive shortly thereafter.

by the jurisdictional department upon its arrival at the scene. The aiding department
personnel will be under the direction of the officer in charge of the jurisdictional fire
department. It is further agreed that the aiding department will be released from the
scene as soon as practical by the jurisdictional fire department.
8. It is mutually understood and agreed that this agreement does not relieve either party
from the necessity and obligation of using its own resources for furnishing fire and
rescue service within any part of its own jurisdiction, and that the aiding party's
response to a request for aid will be dependent upon the existing emergency conditions
within its own jurisdiction and the status of its resources.
9. This agreement shall not be construed as, or deemed to be an agreement for the benefit
of anyone not a party hereto and anyone who is not a party hereto shall not have a
right of action hereunder for any cause whatsoever.
10. No party furnishing aid pursuant to this agreement shall be entitled to compensation
for services rendered to the requesting agency, it being understood that the mutual
covenants contained in this agreement shall constitute the sole consideration for such
services.

only for damages or injury arising out of the acts or omissions of each party's own
agents or employees responding to a request for assistance made pursuant to this
agreement, except that the party requesting assistance shall be liable for damages or
injury arising out of the acts or omissions of the agents or employees of the party
furnishing assistance when such acts or omissions were performed at the direction of
agents or employees of the party requesting assistance.
