Question of the Day: What are the benefits of mutual-aid agreements?

Here is the Question of the Day:

The Dover Air Force Base 436th Civil Engineer Squadron fire department shares mutual-aid coverage with local agencies such as the Dover Fire Department. “Training with other agencies provides new skills and offers a chance for our team to teach and train volunteer departments,” said Chief Master Sgt. Andrew Kehl, the 436th’s fire chief. All civilian fire stations in Kent County are 100% volunteer. Are you a volunteer firefighter? What other benefits do you see from multi-agency pair-ups such as this?
