This plan fulfills Section D-1 of the "Agreement for Cooperative Wildfire Protection" signed March 12, 1990 between Eagle County and the State Board of Agriculture, by and through Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) , and hereby becomes part of said Agreement as Attachment 3. This Plan also fulfills Section V-A, of the 1986 "Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement° between the State of Colorado and the Forest Service (USFS) (U.S. Dep 't. of Agriculture) , Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (U.S. Dep't. of Interior) , National Park Service (NPS) (U.S. Dep 't. of Interior) , and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) (U.S. Dep 't. of Interior) , and hereby becomes part of that Agreement as an Attachment. Participants in this Plan consist of the following: Colorado State Forest Service Eagle County Sheriff, on behalf of the County and county fire departments Eagle Board of County Commissioners Eagle and Holy Cross Ranger Districts of the White River National Forest Grand Junction District of Bureau of Land Management All participants of this Plan agree to coordinate their wildfire protection activities as outlined herein. A. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES Responsibility for wildland fire suppression on state and private land within Eagle County is shared jointly by the county and the various Fire Protection Districts or Fire Departments, and reimbursable costs shall be covered as mutually agreed upon by the county and sheriff and district or department involved. On fires that are within the responsibility of the County (and/or Fire Districts) , the Colorado State Forest Service will assist the County upon request of the Sheriff or his designee. Fires on federal lands are the responsibility of the specific Agency involved, as per maps appended to this Operating plan that show boundaries delineating federal , state, county (private land) and Fire District/Department areas of jurisdiction. Reciprocal protection areas (mutual aid) in Eagle County are those areas within one mile on either side of the jurisdictional boundary lines as shown on the Appended Map. • • • Reciprocal fire protection areas are for initial attack purposes only. Assisting agencies will take initial attack action of fires • located on lands under another agency's jurisdiction within the reciprocal fire protection zone or on fires that threaten to cross jurisdictional boundaries. The primary criterion for such initial attack will be which agency is in the best position at the time the fire is reported to take the most rapid and effective action. For fires within the reciprocal fire protection zone, each agency will assume responsibility for its own expenses from time of dispatch until the start of the next "burning period" ( generally considered 10 AM the day followqing ignition) . The assisting agency will be reimbursed for costs incurred after that time. It shall be the responsibility of the jurisdictional agency to acquire and dispatch any needed replacements to relieve initial attack crews of the assisting agency at the earliest practical time. For fires not meeting the reciprocal fire protection criteria the jurisdictional agency will reimburse the assisting agency for costs. Each agency will make its manpower and equipment available upon request to the other agencies. It is understood, however, that no cooperator will be required or expected to commit its forces to assisting another agency to the extent of jeopardizing the security or responsibilties of its own lands. B. MOBILIZATION PLAN 1. Organization Directory see Appendix 3 2. Wildfire resources available Appendix 4 details inventories of manpower, equipment and water resources available, with locations, throughout the County. Each agency will keep all others informed, throughout the fire season, of fire danger (calculated by USFS) , suppression activities,and changes in location of manpower and equipment. 3. Dispatch procedures and communications Eagle County Sheriff 's office dispatcher will act as dispatch for wildfire operations in Eagle County. All firefighters responding to a wildfire dispatch will have personal protective equipment, such as fire shirts, fire pants, adequate 8" laced boots with non-slip soles, fire shelters, hardhats, gloves, eye protection etc. Supply of these items will be the responsibility of each cooperating agency and fire District or Department for its own personnel . - 3 - • • • The agency that can take the quickest effective fire suppression action will be dispatched for initial attack. Responding agency shall ensure that jurisdictional agency is promptly notified. The jurisdictional agency will establish command of the suppression action at the earliest possible time. Notification to all other agencies that are, or may be, affected is the reponsibility of the dispatcher. Federal , State and county radio systems are mostly incompatible at this time. The Fire Emergency Radio Network (FERN) offers a solution to this problem. (FERN I - 154.280) should be used for inter-agency communication on a fire whenever possible. Federal agencies can obtain authority to use this frequency • (contact CSFS for details) . Non-federal departments can obtain cost-share funds, through CSFS, to add FERN to existing systems. National Law Enforcement Channel (NLEC) , 155.475, may also be available to most agencies for emergency use. Additionally, when AIRCRAFT are ordered by the Sheriff 's Office for land he has responsibility for, every effort should be made to acquire a radio with federal frequencies from a local federal agency immediately. Contract fire aircraft have 9600-channel radio systems with pre-set federal fire frequencies and are not always able to "dial in" county frequencies. Air tankers will not drop unless positive air-to-ground communications are established. A legal description (section, township and range or latitude and longitude) of the drop zone, and a name of ground contact person are required. A list of the radio frequencies used by the various fire suppression agencies in Eagle County will be obtained and attached as Appendix VI to this plan. • 4. Initial Attack/Unified Command/ICS The Colorado Incident Command System (CICS) will be utilized on all fires. CICS is a standardized method of managing emergency incidents. It is based on: -- A common organizational structure -- Common terminology -- Common operating procedures -- Known qualifications of emergency personnel CICS does not infringe on the daily routine, responsibilities or authority given each agency by statute. But, if a transfer of authority is necessary as conditions change, CICS smooths the transition since organizational structure and lines of authority are clearly identified. - 4 - • INITIAL ACTION on any fire occuring on the areas covered by this agreement shall be taken by the fire organization that first arrives at the scene of the fire, irrespective of jurisdictional boundaries, but the agency taking initial action shall report the fire immediately to the jurisdictional agency. In the event the assisting agency arrives first, the officer in charge of its forces shall serve as Acting Incident Commander until the arrival of the suppression forces, or appropriate officer, of the jurisdictional agency, who shall then take charge of the fire as Incident Commander. The agency taking initial action on any fire shall remain on the fire until the fire is completely controlled and out, or until relieved by the jurisdictional agency. The jurisdictional agency shall relieve the cooperating agency as promptly as possible. This includes the release of cooperating agency manpower and equipment insofar as jurisdictional agency manpower and tools are available to replace them. If a fire is in a reciprocal protection area or crosses jurisdictional boundaries and becomes a multiagency fire, a UNIFIED COMMAND will be formed. The purpose of the unified command will be to meet as a group and identify policies and direction resulting in one common set of objectives for implementation by the suppression forces. Unified command will also determine cost-sharing responsibilities of all agencies involved. The unified command will consist of representatives of the following agencies that have responded to that incident: - Eagle County - Sheriff (A.J. Johnson) or his designee. - Colorado State Forest Service - District Forester (John Laut) or his designee. - Federal land agency involved- Forest supervisor (USFS) or designee, District Manager (BLM) or designee. - Fire District/Department Chief or designee. If the fire continues to escalate the Unified command group will consider moving to project fire level utilizing the Incident Command System (ICS) organization. 5. Additional suppression resources All requests for local non-federal agency fire forces will be made through the Eagle County sheriff 's dispatcher. All requests for federal agency fire forces will be made through the applicable Agency representative. All requests for any State agency assistance will be made by the Sheriff or designee, through the Colorado State Forest Service District Forester or designee. - 5 - • I • S 6. State Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) Eagle County is a member of the State EFF agreement. The • • purpose of this fund is to provide funds to cover costs associated with a large fire on private or state lands that the resources of the COUNTY cannot handle. Implementation of the Emergency Fire Fund can only be done by the State Forester of Colorado upon the recommendation of the local CSFS District Forester following a request from the County. For this reason, it is important that the CSFS District Forester or his designee be notified immediately of major fires on private or state lands within the county. Should the fire surpass, or threaten to surpass, the ability of County resources to contain it, EFF implementation can only occur with a CSFS representative on the scene of the fire. When a fire "goes EFF" CSFS assumes full responsibility and authority for all suppression activity until the fire is returned to County responsibility. The State Forester will designate a Line Officer who will assume the CSFS position on the Unified Command group. C. AIR OPERATIONS 1. Use and ordering of air support Requests for air attack will be made only by responsible official of the jurisdictional agency. Air attack will be directed only by qualified personnel of either the BLM or USFS in accordance with the agency 's regulations. In order to comlete a request for air support the lgal description of the location (section, township, range, or latitude and longitude) , radio frequencies for ground-to-air communication and the name of the on-the-ground contact person must be provided 2. Costs and payment responsibilities The agency supplying air attack will be reimbursed by the requesting agency for air attack only when prior approval for use on each fire has been obtained from the responsible administrative line officer, or designee, of the jurisdictional agency. It should be noted that the cost of air retardant attack is very expensive and one drop would require funds in the #3000 range. Air reconnaissance and detection will be coordinated among the cooperating agencies. - 6 - • • D. REIMBURSEMENTS 1. Costs reimbursable; REIMBURSABLE MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENT - Reimbursable manpower and equipment use should be recorded on the appropriate forms prior to release from fire, or within seven days of said fire. 2. Rates CSFS EQUIPMENT USE RATES are computed annually. A current copy is included as Appendix V. These rates apply to CSFS fire equipment only. FIRE EQUIPMENT RENTAL AGREEMENTS between federal agencies, fire districts/departments and private suppliers will be completed by April 30, annually, by the agencies concerned. These Agreements are included in Appendix IV. Equipment not covered by such an agreement may not receive reimbursement expenses from jurisdictional agencies requiring them unless rates are mutually agreed to, in writing, at time such equipment is requested by the jurisdictional agency. PERSONNEL- The salary and wages of personnel shall be at the actual cost to the assisting agency. Casuals and non-paid volunteers on a federal agency fire shall be paid at the appropriate AD rate. Casuals and non-paid volunteers on a federal agency fire shall be paid at the appropriate AD rate. Current rates from the USFS Fire .Handbook are shown below. Unless mutually agreed upon, personnel from other than the jurisdictional agency will be released by 10:00 a.m. on the day following initial attack. Fire Department Chief or County Sheriff (or their acting) in capacity of an Incident Commander or Agency Coordinator AD-5 Trained Strike Team/Task Force Leader AD-4 Trained Squad Boss AD-3 Trained Pumper Operator AD-3 Trained Firefighter AD-2 Untrained Firefighter AD-1 1991 AD RATES AD-1 $7. 16/HR AD-2 $8.31/HR AD-3 $9.22/HR AD-4 $10.46/HR AD-5 NEGOTIABLE UP TO $25/HR - 7 - • • Personnel will be paid based on the position they occupy on the fire, as established by the Incident Commander, rather than on • their individual qualifications. 3. Reimbursment Procedures: If reimbursement for any incident can best be handled at local level assisting agency may invoice jurisdictional agency directly. If deemed more efficient, the County may aggregate expenses incurred by the County and Districts to suppress fires on federal jurisdictions and may present an invoice for such expense to CSFS who will then reimburse the County and subsequently bill the jurisdictional federal agency or agencies. Federal agencies may submit bills and statements for reimbursements from County and/or fire districts for federal suppression on non-federal lands to CSFS. CSFS will make such reimbursement and subsequently invoice the County or Department as appropriate. All such invoices should be sent to CSFS District Office, P.O. Box 2189, Dillon CO, 80435, within 30 days of the incident. E. OTHER PROCEDURES 1. Burning Permits Standard state operating procedures for BURNING PERMITS FOR PRESCRIBED BURNS will be adhered to. The jurisdictional agency will follow agency prescribed burning policy and procedures and NOTIFY COOPERATING AGENCIES OF BURNING PROJECTS. Such notification should include the location, timing, and nature of prescribed burns and should be given well in advance of the burn and prior to ignition on the day of the burn. 2. Burning Restrictions REQUESTS FOR CLOSURES PROHIBITING OPEN FIRES during hazardous periods will be made to include private, state, BLM and USFS lands. • These requests will be made by jurisdictional agency with notification given to cooperating agencies. Requests should be submitted in writing to the respective granting authority. 3. Maintenance and access; Roads- Use of roads on federal lands presently closed to vehicular travel (outside of wilderness areas) is hereby authorized to all parties to this Wildfire annual operating plan when on fire detection, prevention or suppression mission. Suppression within designated Wilderness, Wilderness Study Areas and/or "roadless" areas will not be conducted without express orders from the jurisdictional federal agency. - 8 - • • 4. Wildfire Prevention Activities DISTRIBUTION OF FIRE PREVENTION MATERIALS will be handled by the USFS and BLM in Eagle County. Distribution should cover schools and commercial establishments within the county. The CSFS will supply the County Sheriff and Fire Districts with CFFP (Smoky Bear) materials for distribution on request by the department. Each agency will prepare and release FIRE PREVENTION MATERIAL AND RADIO-TV PRESENTATIONS according to their own prevention plans. Coordination with cooperating agencies should be followed in order to prevent a conflict in released material . Where pertinent, all new releases for fire prevention will carry USFS, CSFS, Fire District or county sheriff by-line. 5. Law Enforcement Actions For the purpose of fire law enforcement, the federal agencies and Eagle County will follow appropriate LAW ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS. Traffic control will be provided by the county sheriff , upon request, to expedite the routing of vehicles and personnel to and from major fires and to exclude unauthorized personnel from the fire area. It will be the responsibility of the agency upon whose land the fire originates to take law enforcement action. When initial attack is made by other than the jurisdictional agency, the assisting agency will immediately gather and preserve information and evidence pertaining to the cause of the fire for the jurisdictional agency. In the case of any restrictions on burning or public movements because of extreme fire danger, either by Governor 's proclamation or by local issue, the county will be responsible for enforcement on all non-federal lands, and may assist on other lands at the request of the appropriate agency. 6. Fire Investigation and Incident final reports The cooperating agencies will take what steps necessary to gather EVIDENCE OF FIRE CAUSE as outlined in the jurisdictional agency 's fire control procedures. CIVIL AND CRIMINAL FOLLOW-UP ACTION will be taken by the jurisdictional agency. Fire Districts will file incident reports with CSFS on forms provided for reporting to NFIRS following conclusion of each incident. 7. Training Standard approved fire training courses are provided periodically by the CSFS, USFS, BLM and other agencies. As these courses are scheduled all cooperators will be informed and invited to participate. - 9 - • • Fire Districts/departments should make requests for training through CSFS. CSFS will attempt to provide specific training opportunities for Fire District/Department personnel and other private organizations as requested. F. WILDFIRE DETECTION The Eagle County Sheriff 's dispatcher will receive fire reports from the public and will notify the applicable agency. Cooperating agencies will keep each other informed throughout the fire season of lightning activity and will forward any reports of wildfire received to the dipatcher who will notify all agencies through regular procedures. G. FIRE DANGER MONITORING & INFORMATION The local offices of the USFS will monitor local fire danger levels and will notify the ECSO dispatcher of any significant changes in level. National Weather Service in Denver periodically issues "RED-FLAG" watches and warning bulletins to USFS Regional Office and to CSFS State Office. These offices notify respective local contacts who, in turn, will ensure all local agencies are informed. H. OUT-OF-COUNTY ASSIGNMENTS 1. Qualifications All Agency personnel working on federal lands under this agreement will pass the Fire Qualifications Step Test procedures prior to any fire suppression activities. Each cooperating agency will be responsible for testing their personnel and will submit a list of those people who pass the test. - NOTE: This requirement does NOT apply to members of Volunteer Fire Departments or Fire Districts except in the case of out-of-state assignment as members of an organized Strike Team or Task Force. 2. Payroll , rates etc. Agency personnel will be paid their regular wage while on fire suppression assignment. Non-agency personnel , including non-paid volunteer fire fighters, will be assigned an AD classification and will be paid accordingly (see Section D.2 for AD information) . 3. Personal gear Personal protective equipment, such as fire shirts, fire pants, adequate 8" laced boots with non-slip soles, fire shelters, hardhats, gloves, eye protection etc. , will be the responsibility of each cooperating agency for its own personnel . - 10 - • • 4. Equipment use, rates etc. see section D.2 5. Dispatch procedures Fire District/Department personnel will only be dispatched for ou-of -state-assignment with prior approval of their respective Chief. Agency personnel will be dispatched through normal Agency dispatch procedures. I. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES The primary purpose of this operating plan is to ensure prompt suppression of wildland fires. . Any inter-agency dispute arising from these procedures will be resolved on-site by the Unified Command group. When necessary, following the conclusion of the fire incident, a panel of Agency representatives, other than the participants in the incident will review and resolve the dispute. J.
