Safety director seeks renewal of Medina County mutual aid agreement for fire, EMS
Summary
Safety Director Dan Chafin introduced Ordinance No. 26-052 to renew and update a Medina County mutual aid agreement for fire and emergency medical services; he said county chiefs and legal offices reviewed the language and it clarifies incident-command and aid-response rules.
Safety Director Dan Chafin told Council that Ordinance No. 26-052 is "a renewal or an update of their current mutual aid agreement." He said county fire chiefs, the County Prosecutor's Office and the municipal law director reviewed the changes, which primarily refine how incident command requests and responses are handled across Medina County agencies.
Chafin described the change as "very minor tweaks to the actual language," including wording that allows a potential assisting agency to decline a mutual-aid request if it has concurrent emergencies. Council Member Mike Reese confirmed the agreement covers Medina County only. No final vote on adoption was recorded during the Committee session; the ordinance was introduced for additional consideration.
