New Jersey § 52:14e-14

§ 52:14e-14.

Each municipality or fire district, as the case may be, in this State shall prepare

and adopt a local fire mutual aid plan. The plan shall set forth policies and procedures to coordinate the effective utilization

of fire service resources in those instances where the implementation of the local

fire mutual aid plan is determined to be necessary or appropriate. Each local fire mutual aid plan shall be based upon the planning criteria, objectives,

requirements, responsibilities and concepts of operation essential for the implementation

of all necessary and appropriate protective or remedial measures to be taken in response

to emergency incidents. Each local fire mutual aid plan shall be adopted no later than one year after the

effective date of this act. Following adoption, each municipality or fire district shall file a copy of its

local fire mutual aid plan with the county fire coordinator. In any instance where a local fire mutual aid plan provides for the provision of

assistance and fire service resources by or to a political subdivision of another

state, the municipality or fire district also shall file a copy of that plan with

the State fire coordinator. Each local fire mutual aid plan shall be reviewed and updated every two years.
