Description/History
Mansfield Fire Department is currently providing mutual aid to Tarrant County ESD No. 1. The current agreement was approved by Council on December 12, 2022 via Resolution Re-3949-22 and was put in place for a 12 month period. This new agreement would be effective retroactively from October 1, 2023 for a term of twelve (12) months. This agreement would continue to renew for additional one (1) year terms until canceled by either party.

This would allow the parties to continue operating under the previously approved Agreement and provide for future renewals. Additionally it would authorize the Fire Chief to serve as the City's representative for the execution and all other matters relating to the Agreement.
