Additional responses to/from the TMFPD may have occurred but did not meet the NFIRS definitions for automatic or mutual aid. Only incidents where representatives from two or more entities are on scene together qualify as aid given or received by an agency. When one entity handles an incident for another jurisdiction without assistance, the incident is not classified as auto/mutual aid according to NFIRS, and neither are responses where one entity cancels its response prior to arriving at the incident. TMFPD recognizes neighboring agencies may have provided aid more times than what is recognized under NFIRS reporting standards. 4 P a g e
