A rescue squad which proposes to provide regional or statewide specialized
rescue services may apply to the director for an alternative affiliation
agreement and alternative vehicle and equipment requirements in lieu of those
specified in KRS 39F.120 under the following terms and conditions:
(a) The rescue squad meets all of the requirements specified in KRS
39F.120 except for a local affiliation agreement, vehicle dedicated solely
to rescue service, or possession of basic rescue equipment.
(b) The director accepts, in writing, that the rescue squad will provide a
needed rescue service either on a regional or statewide basis.
(c) The rescue squad and the director execute an affiliation agreement
containing the same information required in KRS 39F.120 for a local
affiliation agreement.
(d) The rescue squad maintains specialized rescue equipment appropriate to
its mission as specified in the affiliation agreement or an annex thereto.
(e) The requirement for a vehicle dedicated solely to rescue service may be
waived, in writing, by the director upon determination that having a
specific vehicle may be inappropriate to the mission of the rescue squad
and that the rescue squad has adequate means of transportation enabling
it to respond in an efficient manner.
(f) The rescue squad, when requested to provide services, shall immediately
notify and coordinate activities with the local director and with the local
rescue squads serving the county in which the response is requested.
Agreements specified in subsection (1) of this section shall be renewed
annually.
Rescue squads participating in the alternative program specified in this section
shall be eligible to participate in rescue grant funding, state sponsored workers'
compensation, training, and other programs of the division.
Rescue squads operating under an agreement pursuant to this section may
respond in any county covered by the agreement, or statewide if the
agreement permits. Rescue squads covered under an agreement pursuant to
this section may respond in counties not covered by the agreement only by
request of the rescue squad or public officials in that county or upon request of
the director or his designee.
