Home My WebLink AboutSOG 501.03 REVISED 10-2016_ETJ501.03 — Deployments to the ETJ & Contract Service Areas Effective. 8/5/2011 Revised: 10/5/2016 Replaces: I. Guiding PhilosophX Within our current level of capability and when covered by the appropriate legal protections and approvals, we do our best to assist neighboring jurisdictions or agencies when requested. II. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to define the proper processing of requests for services within the boundaries of the City of Beaumont's extra -territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and contract service areas. III. Goals The goals of this policy are to: A. Detail guidelines and associated responsibilities for general call processing and response within the ETJ and contract service areas. B. Communicate listings of current contracts by type of contract. IV. Definitions A. Agency -Direct Mutual Aid — Deployment of response resources between individual agencies (mutual aid given or received), based on two types of agreements: 1. Mutual Aid Agreements 2. Memorandums of Understanding (MOU). B. Contract Service Area — geographical response areas which are covered by BFRS resources based on direct Extra -Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Contracts. C. Industrial District Agreements — also called Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements, these are developed with industries located within the City's ETJ to provide either primary or secondary fire response coverage. These agreements provide incentives for expansion that encourage economic development, including job growth. D. Extra -Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) — unincorporated land within five miles of the City of Beaumont's full purpose city limits that is not within the city limits or ETJ of another jurisdiction. E. Extra -Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Contracts — contracts entered into with public or private entities within the ETJ for the provision of primary or secondary fire response coverage. F. Mutual Aid Given — BFRS response resources provided to assist another jurisdiction. G. Mutual Aid Received — Response resources from another jurisdiction deployed to assist BFRS response resources. V. General Call Processing & Response in the ETJ and/or Contract Service Areas A. This guideline DOES NOT apply to calls related to: 1. Agency -direct mutual aid (see SOG 501.04) 2. Activation of the Sabine -Neches Chiefs Association (see SOG 501.05) B. The Call Taker will collect the following information from the caller requesting services within the general ETJ or contract service area: 1. Location and Type of Emergency 2. Requesting Agency/Entity 3. Name of Caller/Contact 4. Contact Phone Number 5. Incident information appropriate for the type of emergency 6. Operations Frequency or Talk Group to be Used (if established) 7. Location of Staging Area (if established) 8. Staging Area Contact Number (if established) 9. Name of Staging Area Manager (if established) 10. Staging Area Radio Frequency/Talk Group to be Used (if established) C. The Dispatch Supervisor is responsible for: 1. Insuring deployment of approved resources only outside the City limits. Resources are approved to respond outside the City only through: a. Adherence to approved Standard Operating Guidelines, SOG 501.03 — Deployments to the ETJ & Contract Service Areas Page 2 of 8 b. Pre -Authorization of the Assistant Chief or the Fire Chief. 2. Monitoring the status of units deployed outside the City limits on the applicable radio frequency/talk group. 3. Notifying the Assistant Chief and Fire Chief by phone or text message any time available resource levels drop below four apparatus (three or less in-service inside the City. D. The RankiW O icer deployed outside the City limits will: Be responsible for the safety of BFRS personnel, whether operating as under a single command or as a part of a unified command operation. 2. Determine whether the incident is outside the boundaries of the ETJ or contracted areas. a. If deployed units have reached the boundaries of the ETJ and have not visually located the incident, the Officer -in -Charge should: 1. Notify the Dispatcher Supervisor that they are unable to locate and request additional location information. 2. If no additional information is available, or if the incident is actually outside the ETJ or contract service areas, deployed units will code in-service and return to their station. b. EXCEPTION: If deployed units have reached the boundaries of the ETJ and can see the emergency scene, they may continue on to provide assistance. If this situation occurs, the incident should be turned over to the appropriate jurisdiction as soon as feasible, and units returned to the City as soon as possible. 3. Notify the Dispatch Supervisor should the frequency/talk group that they are operating on be changed after deployment. 4. Insure efficient and effective operations so that units may be returned to service within the City limits as quickly as possible. VI. Deployment Guidelines & Approved Exceptions A.
