United States Department of the Interior, and the Hawaii County Fire Department (hereinafter
"Department"), a government entity of the County of Hawaii located in Hilo, Hawaii.
ARTICLE I -BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
As of December 31, 2004 the military is withdrawing their 24-hour fire truck and personnel at the
Kilauea Military Camp ("KMC") within the boundaries of Hawaii Volcanoes National Pazk
("HAVO") after 50 plus years of providing that service. The Department is scheduled to bring in
their structural fire personnel on January 1, 2005 to staff a new County Fire Station that
eventually will be built just outside HAVO. The nearest 24-hour fire station is over 25 minutes
away.
The Congress had directed the NPS to provide funding in the amount of $250,000 to the
Department for the procurement of a structural fire engine that will be located and operated at
Station 19 cun•ently located at KMC.
The Department has agreed to staff and operate Stationl9 on a 24-hour basis starting on January
1, 2005. Station 19 will include one Fire Engine Company and one ambulance.
The objective of this Agreement is to establish the instrument under which the NPS will transfer
the funding to the Department for the procurement of the fire engine.
The Department has a standing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NPS which
includes HAVO and three other National Park azeas on the Island of Hawaii. This Agreement
supports the existing MOU between the NPS and Department providing for emergency response
to fire, medical, and search and rescue incidents within HAVO.
