Board approves automatic-aid agreement for countywide water-rescue response
Summary
The board unanimously approved an interlocal automatic-aid agreement between the Logansport Fire Department and Cass County fire departments to automatically dispatch water-rescue incidents across the county; Chief Miller described the agreement as a timely improvement to mutual aid capabilities.
Chief Miller told the board the automatic-aid agreement with Cass County fire departments will automatically dispatch water-rescue responses across the county and that it has been in development for some time. "Any incident involving water rescue in Cass County will be sent automatically," Chief Miller said, describing the agreement as the first step toward formal countywide cooperation.
Board members said the interlocal agreement was timely and appropriate for mutual-aid operations; the chair moved to accept the agreement and the motion passed unanimously. Staff said the agreement is intended to be the operational baseline for water-rescue incidents and will be implemented through department dispatch protocols.
