To furnish rescue and fire protection personnel, equipment, materials and supplies, and to render such fire protection and rescue services to each other as may be necessary to suppress fire or handle rescue and /or other emergency 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 or rescue pro- tection resources, personnel, and equipment for the area where his primary responsi- bility 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 dispatching 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 juris- diction 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 expense, any item of equipment which is damaged or fails for any reason. All dry powder, foam material, CO2, wet water, and other expendable items used while responding to a mutual aid call to extinguish, contain, or prevent the spread of fire or avert loss of life and property shall be paid for by the party hereto requesting mutual aid. 6.1 In the event of dispute relative to replacement, cost, quantities, or types of consumables used, an arbitration board shall make final determination. This board, which shall serve without compensation, shall consist of three dis- interested members selected by the Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors. 7. This agreement shall remain in full force until terminated as herein provided for and no termination by any of the parties hereto shall affect this agree- ment as between the other parties hereto. Any party to this agreement may terminate the same by serving notice of intention so to do 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. 2 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be executed and have agreed that the same shall be in effect from the date first hereinabove written.
