Your attorney may wish to reword it but it should contain the essence of the suggested copy. If yours is a municipality, then it should be handled by your city attorney. Fire districts should also consult their attorneys. In all cases it should be p,epared for passage at the earliest possible regular meetirg of the city council or board of fire commissioners. When passed, please obtain ten copies of the approved resolution and mail to me so I may distribute them to each of the participants for their files. Should your attorneys wish to get more information or have any questions about procedure, legality or other matters relating to the resolution, have them contact Richland City Attorney Donald Stancik_at the Richland City Hall, telephone 943-9161, Extension 232. Let me emphasize two points contained in the plan: (1) how you work out your communications within your own department is your business but all should be well briefed on its operation, (2) in the case of paid departments, the mention of "Vol." means calling in off -shift men to staff apparatus. The burden of making the plan work smoothly and effectively rests with you. Because of vacations etc, this is not an opportune time, but it might be-wise.for us -to hold a meeting of all participating departments as soon as we can to iron out any kinks and to make sure of a complete understanding. In the meantime, do not hesitate to call me if you forsee problems. d. RESOLUTION NO.

Mayor —Chairman • Clerk - Secretary - Attorney ..`...lam TR:1-CIT:fES MUTUAL AID FIRE AND DISASTER PLAN e Introduction • This plan, encompassing the nine fire departments from Burbank to Benton City, is promulgated on the basis of providing prompt and orderly assistance on major fires and disasters befalling any member community. , Recognizing that neighboring cities and fire districts beyond Burbank and Benton City may also require assistance or can provide assistance, they are not involved in this agreement, Arrangements for mutual aid with them will be up to the departments bordering those areas. Irrespective of the size of the fire departments incorporated in the Tri -Cities' plan, it envisions all member departments handling first acid second alarms within their own departments, The first movement of mutual aid companies is called a THIRD ALARM, at which time not less than two companies respond. These companies may be both committed to the fire or one may be assigned to stand by in the station of the department calling for mutual aid.. This decision will be strictly up to the chief or officer in charge of the fire, be he volunteer or paid. All firefighting would also be under his commando Should the fire be of a magnitude requiring a FOURTH ALARM, again at least two pieces of mutual aid apparatus respond and may be used on the fire, placed on roving assignment in case of windblown embers or maintain station standby. In every case possible, on both THIRD and FOURTH alarms, the .nearest available apparatus is scheduled to respond, • Because some fire situations would require specialty apparatus such as aerial ladders, tankers, hi. -ex foam, etc. , this type of apparatus is listed as available under "SPECIAL CALL" and is individually called, not automatically on third Or fourth alarms unless specifically listed as such. Since five of the nine departments provide ambulance services and two operate heavy duty rescue units, a separate category is provided for disasters such as train wrecks, explosions, buswrecks or building collapse in which there are people trapped or numerous casualties, These units must also be individually called, de- pending upon the .need. OPERATION OF THE PLAN Only theofficer is authorized to activate mutual chief officer or. acting chief aid for his department. To assure some over -excited official does not attempt an unauthorized call for mutual aid, the THIRD, FOURTH or SPECIAL, alarm should be made in the name of the chief officer.in charge. In the absence of a centralized communications center for all nine member departments, the success or failure of this plan will be keyed to whomever handles communications for the department requesting mutual aid assistance as well as • concise understanding on the part of the departments providing assistance. -2 An example of the plan's operation might be as follows: • Assume Kennewick experiences a major fire clearly beyond its own ability to control, Chief Malchow radios h.is communications office for a third alarm response. Whoever,handles his communication sees. that Pasco and Benton County #1 each, send pumpers on a third alarm so a call is made to Pasco and Benton County #1, to :Pasco via telephone or radio and to Benton County #1 by siren and radio, Each Is informed " Chief Malchow asks for THIRD ALARM on a fire at ____in Kennewick" . Both companies would report to the fire and Chief Malchow personally. He may use both at the fire or prefer to dispatch one for station, standby, Should the fire con.ti.n.ue to spread or embers provide a threat after Chief Malchow is using .both Third Alarm companies on the fire, he may radio in a FOURTH ALARM, in whish case his dispatcher would see by the chart that Richland would dispatch a pumper and .Pasco would also, providing the latter call-in men had. reported to their station. They, too, would report to Chief Malchow at. the fire. To make the picture more complex, we might assume the original fire's heat: begins to involve a nearby grain elevator requiring the use of an. elevated master stream. T.n this case, Chief Malchow radios in an order to SPECIAL CALL R.ch.land's aerial -pumper, When his dispatcher has tele- phoned Richland and repeated the "Chief Malchow order a special call for • an aerial", Ri.ch.'land's 100 ft„ aeri:al would be dispatched from Richland and Chief Malchow then prepares to furnish water through three lines to where he wishes the aerial to spot, Whenever third alarm apparatus has been called to a fire, the communications operator in. the city having the fire should, at: his first opportunity, alert fire depart- ments scheduled .for fourth alarm response (if not already advised) for two reasons: (1) so that the departmeiit.s can slaspend operations that might impede a fourth alarm response and (2) to put those departments on notice that a simultaneous fire or fourth alarm .is possible. This can be done by simply calling the .affected depart- ments to pass the word "This is of the Department calling t:o alert you that we have a third alarm fire going in . The word "alert" and the absence of the chief's name will be the key to this communi- cation. For very obvious reasons, whenever the need for the alert has passed, those departments having been alerted should be advised of the fact.. To be effectively operated, this p.l.an will require each fire department to pre- pare its own standard operating procedures with. respect to its use and participation in mutual aid, particularly wi.th respect to the communications aspects. In addition, it would be wise to insure that every volunteer fireman and paid fireman in each department .be well orientated in the mechanics of the operations, who has authority to place mutual. aid i.n. effect, ',how this word is transmitted on calls, what apparatus is scheduled for response, etc, To wait until. the need for mutual aid arises and then attempt to efficiently operate is wishful thinking. It: shall be the responsibility of each fire chief to promptly notify each of the. other departments when a change, deletion or addition of equipment would alter mutual aid response. In addition, there shall be an annual review of the plan and any desired updating made at that time MUTUAL AID TO RESPONSE TO CITY OF KENNEWICK Phone or Radio Pump Ladder Pipe Ft. 2 Z" Tank No. Men Responding from Unit Designation GPM or Deluge Hose Size Pd. or Vol. 3RD ALARM RESPONSE Benton Co.
