Mutual-Aid - agreements between agencies, organizations, and jurisdictions that provide a mechanism to quickly obtain emergency assistance in the form of
personnel, equipment, and other associated items and services. This is usually accomplished through contractual agreement. The primary objective is to
facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support prior to, during, and after an incident. Typically implemented by formal request on an incident by
incident basis.
Automatic-Aid - emergency assistance between agencies, organizations and jurisdictions that is pre-arranged and dispatched automatically by contractual
agreement. Differs from mutual-aid which is typically implemented by a formal request. Automatic-aid is as the name implies, it happens automatically without
request. Automatic-aid is primarily pre-arranged and utilized for the initial alarm assignment on structure fires and is in place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
