RESOLUTION APPROVING MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CITY OF AMES AND CITY OF BOONE
FIRE DEPARTMENTS

called 28E Agreements, which Ames has with all fire departments in Story County and the Des
Moines Fire Department; and,
WHEREAS, the major advantage of a mutual aid agreement for both communities is the
close proximity of an additional ladder truck.

that the Mutual Aid Agreement between the City of Ames and the City of Boone Fire Departments,
as attached hereto, is hereby approved.
