AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
February 8, 2022
SUBJECT: Fire Department Automatic Aid Agreement
FROM: James E.Arie, Interim Fire Chief
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT:N/A
Background/History:
The Oak Brook Fire Department is a member of MABAS, Mutual Aid Box Alarm System
that provides for mutual aid between jurisdictions when one agency is stricken beyond their
capacity. The Village of Downers Grove has requested that the Village of Oak Brook enter
into an agreement for an automatic aid response so that resources are not required to be
formally requested, but that pursuant to the call type and location, responding units from
both entities can be made part of the computer generated response for the ease of dispatching
and save valuable time in an emergency. The Village of Downers Grove Village Board will
consider this agreement for approval following approval by the Oak Brook Village Board. f
The last agreement between the agencies was in 2014. Downers Grove has requested the
updated agreement for upcoming ISO reviews and accreditation requirements. The Oak
Brook Fire Chief and staff will review all proposed modifications for efficiency and
effectiveness prior to implementation of any modified response plan. The agreement does
not significantly change any operational aspects of what the two departments have been
doing historically.
Recommendation:
Staff requests the Village Board approve Resolution R-2001, and authorize the Village
Manager and Interim Fire Chief to sign it.
