Agreements
The communities of Circle Pines, Centerville, and Lino Lakes have established agreements that allow fire and rescue services to be performed across these communities by the Centennial Fire District. These agreements have been in force since January 1, 1985.

Mutual Aid Agreements
Large fires occur in the region, and the Centennial Fire District has "mutual aid" agreements with most of the area fire departments. These agreements allow firefighting equipment and personnel to respond, when requested, outside normal coverage areas. Communities under mutual aid agreements do not charge each other for responding to mutual aid calls. During the large brush and forest fire in the Carlos Avery Wildlife Sanctuary in 2001, Centennial Fire District firefighters fought the blaze alongside personnel from Minneapolis, Blaine, and many other area departments.
