IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – The El Centro Fire Department (ECFD) and Imperial County Fire Department (ICFD) now have an automatic aid agreement which will add additional resources to the City of El Centro.
ECFD Battalion Chief Eduardo Ainza says instead of them requesting for help ICFD will automatically arrive to the scene.
They are currently training for the automatic aid before it launches.
“The importance of an agreement like this really comes down to the level of service that each agency is providing to its citizens and with this as simple as it is we are providing more resources in a more timely manner,” said Chief Ainza.
ECFD says it also has an automatic aid agreement with the private agency A.M.R.
