services will enhance response and transport times for critically ill or injured victims and
is mutually advantageous and in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare
of its respective citizens; and
WHEREAS, Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, permits governmental units to enter
into interlocal agreements to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling them

personnel actually sent shall rest in the sole discretion of the responding
agency.
c. Each party shall, if possible, respond to a request for mutual aid with the
appropriate manpower and equipment, regardless of whether the site of the
