Evans Fire Protection District and LaSalle Fire Protection District have drafted a Second Amended and Restated First Response Agreement to reflect current call patterns and development south of the South Platte River. The agreement designates which district will provide outside first response in specific geographic areas based on closest resources, clarifies that each district retains life safety responsibilities within its own boundaries, rescinds prior financial arrangements, and establishes indemnification and termination terms. The staff report notes that ongoing industrial and commercial development (including Asphalt Specialties, Mountain Cement Company, Mountain Trax, Envirotech, and a new oil and gas facility) has led to about 24 cross-district calls per year, prompting the need to adjust the IGA.While the agreement itself does not procure services, it signals a sustained multi-district response environment around higher-risk industrial sites, which may drive future joint training, hazmat planning, specialized equipment, and communications/interoperability needs.

Agreement identifies specific industrial developments driving increased cross-boundary responses, suggesting elevated hazmat and risk management needs in that corridor.
