IGA with Pine Lake Fire District for Structural Fire and EMS within Hualapai Mountain Park

The contract is an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Mohave County and Pine Lake Fire District for structural fire and emergency medical services within the Hualapai Mountain Park. The agreement designates Pine Lake Fire District as the primary first response agency for structural fires and EMS calls, with the County paying the district $10,400 for the first year's service fee. The agreement is renewable annually unless one party wishes to terminate or renegotiate. The Bureau of Land Management will continue to be the primary first response agency for wildland fires in the Park under an existing agreement with the County. Key aspects of the contract include: • The Park is not within the boundaries of any fire district and has no existing contract or internal capability for structural fire suppression or emergency medical services. • The agreement establishes the Park as a priority for the Fire District on a par with the taxpayers residing within the District. • The agreement includes provision for the rapid dispatch of mutual aid resources to Pine Lake as needed. • The district has provided emergency response to the Park for decades, although the Park is not included in the district and has not provided any revenue or financial compensation to the district. • The agreement does not designate the Fire District as primary wildland fire response agency, although the District may provide mutual aid through existing agreements with the BLM for wildland fire activities.
