RE: Capital City Regional Firefighters’ Reciprocal Fire Service AgreementReciprocal Fire Service Agreement • June 16th, 2025
The Capital City Regional Firefighters’ Association is comprised of 33 fire departments in the East Metro area of the Twin Cities. This agreement represents a collective effort to streamline and strengthen our regional response framework by enabling departments to request and provide mutual aid under clear, standardized terms. It was developed with input from several municipal attorneys representing member departments and was created in alignment with the League of Minnesota Cities’ (LMC) information memo, “Considerations in Mutual Aid Agreements.” The draft has also been reviewed twice by Chris Smith, Risk Management Attorney with the LMC, helping ensure the agreement reflects sound legal principles and municipal risk management best practices.
