Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

Escambia County is considering an agreement with the City of Orange Beach, Alabama, for automatic aid during structure fires in overlapping service areas. This proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aims to improve response times and coordination between Escambia County Fire Rescue and Orange Beach Fire Rescue. The item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, this agreement would establish protocols for mutual assistance, potentially involving shared resources and coordinated emergency responses. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in public safety, emergency services, and related fields to understand the county's future needs and engage with officials before specific plans or procurements are finalized.
