    11/23/25 Bronx Mutual Aide Box 6300

    There is reimbursement for mutual aid. There is a mutual aid agreement that is agreed upon between all departments and set in force by New York State. It is done with input from and with the best of intentions by all departments, and it is facilitated by the NYS Division of Homeland Security...

    11/23/25 Bronx Mutual Aide Box 6300

    Well said. Additionally- Specter328 should take note that what you stated - "One last thing worth noting is that most if not all department's involved yesterday recalled off-duty personnel to man reserve apparatus".
