Working Fire Departments

[stickboy]

First thread!

How many people here work for actual working federal fire departments? What I mean by that is departments that actually respond to fires and other emergencies when requested by outside agencies A.K.A. mutual aid.

I can tell you most federal departments in Maryland, DC and Virginia area run mutual aid with outside departments, most on a regular automatic dispatch basis, a few on a "as needed/requested" basis.

Camp Pendleton FD here in So. Calif has Auto/Mutual Aid with outside FD's. Pendleton is also part of the States OES resources for major incidents.
