housed under a metal garage structure with a mobile home trailer next to City -owned El Toyon
Park Recreation Center within the northeast section of National City staffed twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week, by a two person crew; and
WHEREAS, the unit was designed to provide advanced life support, limited fire
suppression, incident command, and ancillary support functions during larger emergencies to
provide an enhanced response capability to aid the residents of National City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby approves the Squad Program as a permanent emergency-srvice delivery
model for the National City Fire Department.
