Section 5:75A-1.3 - Intent and purpose

(a) This chapter establishes a mechanism for the coordination of fire service resources throughout the State to facilitate a quick and efficient response to any emergency incident or situation that requires the immediate deployment of those resources in order to protect life and property from the danger or destruction of fire, explosion or other disaster while recognizing that fire departments have a primary mission to provide fire protection to their respective communities.

(b) The State fire coordinator system is intended to be utilized for, but not limited to, acts of terrorism, incidents requiring significant fire mutual aid, declarations of emergency by the Governor, and interstate requests for fire resource assistance.

(c) The State fire coordination system is intended to prevent resource excesses or depletions by giving the State fire coordinator the power to require fire service resources to standby or to not respond.
