Private corporations, outside agencies, and other city agencies maintain specialized equipment and services that may be placed at the disposal of the Fire Department for use at these incidents. A catalogue of these services and equipment should be maintained. Calls for the use of these services or cooperation of these agencies shall be transmitted to the Dispatcher by the IC. Approval will come from the Chief of Department or their designee.

Liability, costs to the provider, and the availability of certain types of equipment preclude irregular or other informal arrangements.

The IC will designate the exact location to which the special equipment will respond.
