Cross border help

[Hermod]

You can't personally call on a neighboring PD or FD for help and expect them to act within your jurisdiction.

They will respond to the requests from the DPD or DFD for assistance.

If there was a riot or a large fire, neighboring jurisdictions will respond, but only if invited by the jurisdiction having the riot or fire.

I am not sure we would want police from the burbs coming in to "clean up Detroit".

If my house is burning down on Tireman, and the Detroit fire department is unable to come to my house, I call Dearborn fire to help me. So does that mean the Dearborn fire department stays on its side of the border and watch my house burn down?
I believe all people want assistance, it should not matter where the help comes.
