SUBJECT MOU- City of Schertz Fire Department Training SUMMARY Attachments DATE 20231129 The City of Schertz Fire Department is in need of fire training facility to conduct Texas State required live fire training and skills assessments. The 502 ABW already has an existing Mutual Aid Agreement with the City of Schertz on file with 502 ABW/XP. All live fire training and on -site training by MAA departments require a "Hold Harmless Agreement" which 902 CES/CEF already has on file that is approved by the 502 FSS/JA for use. The new attached agreement, is a City of Schertz request to provide "proof of an approved training site "to meet the State of Texas Fire Commission compliance and accreditation that will allow them to certify skills for their new firefighters. 902 CES/CEF conducts annual training with its MAA partners and the City of Schertz includes a large portion of Mutual Aid response. This will create more opportunities to train together, work communications, strategies, and tactics before a real event. Additionally this helps validate 902 CES/CEF P4 initiatives and partnerships.
