iv OW, THErLbMtt, TH.6 ?AItTIhS Hr;xr,TO MUTUAi,1:,Y AGttFr, AS FULLOWS:
1. To furnish fire protection personnel, equipment, materials and supplies,
and to render such fire protection services to each other as may be necessary to
suppress fire of a magnitude that has developed, or appears to develop, beyond
the control of a single party and therefore requires the combined forces of the
parties hereto.
2. Such mutual aid shall be provided within the limits of the County of Orange
on the basis of the "running cards" , and each party hereto agrees to keep the
central dispatching office and the secondary dispatching office informed as to the
status of all equipment available for mutual aid hereunder. The Fire Chief, or
other person in charge of the fire protection organization of each of the parties
hereto shall, in every case of requested aid, determine the limit of assistance
which his organization can render hereunder without depleting fire protection re-
sources, personnel, and equipment for the area where his primary responsibility
exists; and no party hereto shall be required to furnish aid hereunder in excess
of the amount so determined.
3. No response to a mutual aid request provided for in this agreement will be
made by the parties hereto unless such request is received through the established
communication channels common to each party and made by a responsible fire official
of the party, requesting such aid. All requests for mutual aid shall be first made
to the central dispatching office, if in operation; and in event such office for any
reason, is unable to handle such traffic, such request shall be made to the secondary
dispatching office.

4. The County of Orange Fire Dispatching Office shall act as the central dis-
patching office, and in event this office is unable to handle such traffic, the
City of Santa Ana Dispatching Office shall act as a secondary dispatching office,
as may be further agreed to in written form of procedure.
5. Any mutual aid extended under this agreement is extended with the express
understanding that the responsible local fire official (in whose jurisdiction an
incident requiring mutual aid has occurred) shall remain in charge at such incident
including the direction of that personnel and equipment provided him through the
operation of this mutual aid agreement.
6. Each party hereto shall repair and replace, at its own proper cost and ex-
pense, any item of equipment which is damaged or fails for any reason, which would
have occurred had the equipment not been involved in rendering mutual aid. Any
equipment which is damaged or destroyed by fire, falling structures, or other phy-
sical means, while on the scene of a fire to which it has responded through a mutual
aid request as herein provided, shall be repaired or replaced by the party hereto
requesting mutual aid. All dry powder, foam material, CO2, wet water, and other ex-
pendable items used while responding to a mutual aid call to extinguish, contain, or
prevent the spread of fire, shall be paid for by the party hereto requesting mutual
aid.
7. This agreement shall remain in full force until terminated as herein pro-
vided for and no termination by any of the parties hereto shall effect this agree-
ment as between the other parties hereto. Any party to this agreement may terminate
the same 'cy serving notice of intention to do so upon the Clerk of the governing
body of each of the other parties hereto, which notice may be served by mail, and
this agreement shall terminate, as to the rights and liabilities of the party serving
such notice, fifteen days after the latest date of filing with any such Clerk.
IN WITNESS W EechOF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be ex-
ecuted and have agreed that the same shall be in effect from the date first
hereinabove written.
