Q. Why do we have accredited training? A. Accredited training in firefighting and other fields resulted from the influx of negligence suits filed against fire departments and community councils in the late eighties and early nineties. This type of international recognized training makes legal suits difficult to pursue. Q. What is the difference between Mutual Aid and a Fire Protection Agreement? A. While Mutual Aid is an agreement between participating municipalities to provide assistance, with no charge, to other participating municipalities for emergencies at which the "home" fire department is in attendance and cannot control the incident by itself or where the "home" fire department has resources fully committed and would be unable to respond, a Fire Protection Agreement is a contract between municipalities to provide protection in all or in part for a fee. This is usually renewed annually. top
