Under this agreement, Coalinga Fire Department fire equipment will respond to assist at emergencies on the prison grounds if available, and PVSP fire equipment will respond to assist us at emergencies in the city when they are available. The current contract agreement was signed July 2017 and has expired as of June 30, 2022. The new contract will start July 1, 2022 and expire June 30th 2027. There are no changes from the existing agreement to the renewal.
