In such cases, when a fire originates in the Local <br />Responsibility Area (LRA) in which City has primary jurisdiction, the <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between CDF and City takes <br />effect. This MOU establishes "Mutual Threat Zones" and Mutual Aid <br />responsibilities. <br />b.

City will determine if District units will be required to <br />respond. If a medical emergency occurs within the Ridgelands, but <br />beyond the City limits of Pleasanton, City dispatch will immediately <br />notify District dispatch center of the emergency. District dispatch will <br />provide emergency response in accordance with its normal fire medical <br />response priorities. If a medical emergency occurs in the Ridgelands but <br />within the City limits, City dispatch will immediately respond <br />appropriate units and notify District dispatch of the incident. District <br />will determine its ability to respond units to assist with the emergency, <br />if requested to do so by City. <br />3.
