Simply, County #7 would run the calls and that would be the end of it. No need to staff their stations, no need to build a city station.

Therefore, we have to run calls into the County from every quadrant of the City. Sounds like a great trade off for the County!<BR/><BR/>The trade off should be auto aid for auto aid and mutual aid for mutual aid, not auto aid for personnel.
