Does your department charge for mutual aid? If so, how much?
Mich. fire department to charge for mutual aid
The board approved charging neighboring fire departments between $1,000 and $5,000 for every two-hour stint a Metro fire truck spends responding to a fire outside its boundaries.

Roger Ringer It is not Mutual aid. If it is departments that refuse to maintain adequate equipment and personel and depend on the dept. for normal back up that is another story. We had the situation with a few vol. departmets years ago that simply did not maintain enough for their own service let alone mutual aid.

David Thorn Wtf seriously? I've never heard of charging for mutual aid. That's not mutual aid, it's charging for service. If your department is short on funds to pay for assistance then what are you supposed to do?

Four teams of firefighters were working to put out the blaze; the fire appears to have originated on a 20th floor terrace.

Mark Gandzyk I watched as much footage of that fire as I could. What I kept noticing is that the fire appeared to be rolling & spreading up the exterior, not really "rolling" out from interior spaces. Did they cover the entire building in plastic? It seemed to be burning like a rolled-up newspaper... The exterior flamed off, but the interior may have sustained little damage.

Joe Bosch Chief Kray was a great man, He was not my chief but I had the privilege of working with him on mutual aide calls. He will surely be missed. RIP Chief Kray.
