The County Executive, after receiving Commission approval under Section 21-2(d)(4), must adopt a regulation establishing policies for the long- or short-term transfer of apparatus. The Fire Chief, when authorized by regulation, may transfer any apparatus purchased in whole or in part with tax funds, including any apparatus titled to a local fire and rescue department. The Chief must provide as much advance notice as possible before transferring apparatus. The regulation must not require the transfer of any apparatus that was not purchased with any County tax funds, except in an emergency.
