S-3.4 - Fire Safety Act
Section 33
Disposition versions
33. If a fire in the territory of a local municipality or the territory served by its fire safety service exceeds its emergency response capabilities and those of the resources secured by the municipality by way of an agreement pursuant to the fire safety cover plan, the local municipality may, through its mayor or, if the mayor is absent or unable to act, through the acting mayor or two other members of the municipal council, or through any municipal officer designated for that purpose by by-law of the municipality, address a request to their counterparts for the intervention or assistance of the fire safety service of another municipality.
The cost of the intervention or assistance shall be borne by the municipality having requested it, according to a reasonable tariff established by resolution of the assisting municipality, unless the municipalities concerned decide otherwise.
However, such exceptional outside assistance shall not be taken into consideration in the preparation of the fire safety cover plan or implementation plan.
This section applies, with the necessary modifications, to a regional authority or an intermunicipal board in charge of the application of emergency response procedures.
