or any other emergency. It was determined that as long as we do
not exceed our scope of practice we are covered. When we step
outside our role as fire and ems first responders is when we open
ourselves up to liability. Discussion Only.

MANAGEMENT OF THE NUTRIOSO FIRE DISTRICT.
The agreement that was received from the county attorney’s office

Whittington was suggested. This option was recommended since
this agreement has to be rock solid in order to protect both the
Alpine Fire District and the Nutrioso Fire District from any injuries
that may occur. This item was tabled until we receive a document
that better represents the interests of both districts. Member Maritn
made motion and Member Fite second. Approved. Unanimous.
