Mr. Mansfield

It is an existing structure that is on the opposite side of where the terminals are, again for hopefully the thought
of if something happened there.

Alderman Siegel

Is there any way to have this structure in place closer to Nashua?
Mr. Mansfield

Mr. Mansfield

No.

Alderman Cookson

Why not?

Mr. Mansfield

You are talking about mutual aid and you're talking about a catastrophe happening at a dispatch center. They
are not the same.

Alderman Cookson
I’m talking about that we are able to communicate with multiple agencies.
Mr. Mansfield

Fire Department would give. | mean that, not to be melodramatic but they are prepared to do all to save lives.
That’s the motto of the fire department and mutual aid fits right into that.

Alderman Cookson

| appreciate that. Thank you very much.

Mayor Donchess

We do have mutual aid with Hudson, Amherst and Merrimack, the adjoining towns, correct?
Alderman O’Brien

lot of redundancy in different things because if one thing fails, we need another thing to come in and replace it.
This is how the emergency services really work, to come in like that and cover all gaps in different situations.

Alderman Cookson
Does Mr. Mansfield have anything to add to Alderman O’Brien’s commentary?
