MUTUAL AID with Dayton Volunteer Fire Dept. today with a mattress warehouse. Thankfully no injuries were reported.
A mutual aid fire department system is a formal or ad hoc agreement where neighboring fire agencies share personnel, equipment, and resources to help each other during major emergencies.
