Mutual Aid Responses by Department
Given Received
Evolution: From Re-Active Mutual Aid to Pro-Active Closest Unit Response
Historically, fire and EMS mutual aid has been based on city specific response models, utilizing mutual aid assistance
from other communities only if a community has exhausted all available resources. This response model caused us
concern, as the response to emergencies did not deploy the closest available fire or EMS resource.
The Clive Fire Department is proud to have partnered with neighboring communities to move towards a closest unit
response model. These partnerships are automated (without delay) through the WestCom 911 center and include:
Closest Unit Response from Waukee - The Waukee Fire Department assists in covering the West Response Area.
Effective Fire Response Force from Neighboring Agencies - In a strategic goal to provide a minimum of 14 person-
nel on the initial response to a structure fire, the closest neighboring agencies are dispatched in addition to Clive
to fulfill this need. The response includes 3 engines, 1 ladder, 1 ambulance, and 1 chief officer.
Closest Unit Response between Clive and Urbandale -Since October 3, 2017, calls for service are responded to by
the closest ambulance or fire apparatus available from either fire department. The new process dispatches the
closest available unit without regard to the city in which the call is located.
