If you're on a mutual aid assignment you're on an assignment. You can't just leave because you want to go to another call. If you can't cover calls in your own municipality, maybe you shouldn't be a FAST team for someone else! As for leaving a "stand-by" assignment, you still have to check with the IC - you're being counted as a resource for the requesting agency. Canceling yourself will eventually cause an injury or worse because you're not there as requested and assigned. My two cents...
