Dave,
My experience is that the fire service has mutual aid down solid. They
go to great lengths to train and organize so that they can help each other.
On the other hand my experience is that the police services mostly avoid
mutual aid. Small jurisdictions are much better at this because they
depend more on each other but big police departments have attitude.
