These services, consisting of the emergency response, technical,and support services provided by a fire department or fire service provider include, butare not limited to, the following: control and extinguishment of hostile fire involvingbuildings, structures, vehicles, transportation equipment, vegetation, refuse, andmiscellaneous properties; aircraft rescue fire-fighting; technical rescue; emergencymedical services; hazardous material response, fire prevention and code enforcement; fireinvestigation; fire-rescue automatic and mutual aid; resource management; emergencyapparatus/vehicle maintenance and repair; training and education; fire/life safety publiceducation/awareness and community relations; contract management and administrativeservices; management of records; and emergency management/disaster preparedness.This extension is necessary to maintain the critical fire protection services until thecurrent procurement process for the follow-on contract has been completed and a newcontract awarded.
