NYSAFC Executive Director Jerry DeLuca and ACSIQ Director General Luc de la Durantaye executed the agreement between the two associations in an effort to ensure that the highest level of fire service is provided across the state and provincial borders. The associations, which have been meeting for several months, agreed to work cooperatively to resolve issues and concerns impacting the fire service in the state of New York and the province of Quebec.
NYSAFC and ACSIQ will seek to reach an understanding of policies, procedures, and statutes related to issues that include:
- Cross-border mutual aid.
- Insurance coverage for injuries to firefighters.
- Insurance coverage for damage to apparatus and equipment.
- Equivalency of training for firefighters, officers, and chiefs.
