Agreement and the Colorado Statewide Wildland Fire Management Annual Operating Plan and the Agreement for Cooperative Wildfire Protection. PURPOSE The purpose of this local Annual Operating Plan (AOP) is to set forth standard operating procedures, agreed upon policies, and responsibilities to implement cooperative wildfire protection on all lands within Eagle County. AUTHORITIES x Colorado Statewide Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Stafford Act Response Agreement Between: o BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT – COLORADO Agreement Number BLM- MOU-CO-538 o NATIONAL PARK SERVICE – INTERMOUNTAIN REGION Agreement Number F1249110016 o BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS – SOUTHWEST REGION (no agreement number) o UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE – MOUNTAIN PRAIRIE REGION o UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST SERVICE – ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION Agreement Number 11-FI-11020000-017 x Eagle County, Memorandum of Understanding For Participation in the Colorado Emergency Fire Fund x Agreement for Cooperative Wildfire Protection in Eagle County RECITALS It is to the mutual advantage of the Parties to this Plan to coordinate efforts for the prevention, detection, and suppression of wildfires in and adjacent to their areas of responsibility, and to limit duplication and improve the effectiveness of wildland fire response. INTERAGENCY COOPERATION Interagency Dispatch Centers Grand Junction (GJC) and Craig (CRC) Interagency Dispatch Centers GJC and CRC are the primary dispatch for initial attack and extended attack on all federal lands within the county and will coordinate with the Vail Public Safety Communications Center for DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 5 of 19 wildfire response on state and private lands. Interagency dispatch centers utilizes Wildcad while dispatching for initial attack and IROC to dispatch resources beyond the mutual aid period. Vail Public Safety Communications Center (VPSCC) The Vail Public Safety Communications Center is the primary dispatch for the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and Fire Protection District’s/Department’s initial attack response on private and state lands within the county and will coordinate with GJC and CRC for wildfire response on federal lands. Interagency Resources All wildland fire agencies are limited by current staffing and funding levels. A wildfire is normally a seasonal event and as such, fire suppression capability will vary by time of year. Standards During initial action, all agencies (local, state, and federal) accept each other’s qualification standards. Once jurisdiction is clearly established, then the standards of the agency(s) with jurisdiction prevail. All fireline personnel at the incident, including during the mutual aid period must be a minimum of 18 years old and be equipped with personal protective equipment that meets standards identified in the Interagency Standards for Fire and Aviation Operations-NFES 2724 (Red Book), Chapter 7. The Incident Command System (ICS) will be utilized on all wildland fires. BLM Local fire department personnel responding to incidents on BLM lands must: x Be 18 years of age or older; x Have and use the required personal protective equipment (PPE) found in Chapter 7; and x Have a basic level of wildland fire training. The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) course S-190 and S-130 are recommended, both courses can be modified to fit local needs (local fire department requirement). x Pre-identified incident communication protocols will be established and followed (e.g., frequencies plans, points of contact, and inter-operable radio hardware). x The Incident Command System (ICS) will be used to manage all incidents. * GACC prepositioned resources are not under local unit control and may not be considered mutual aid. DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 6 of 19 PREPAREDNESS Protection Planning Each jurisdictional authority is responsible for their protection planning documents to be created in accordance with the jurisdictional authority’s policy and goals. Protection Areas and Boundaries Federal jurisdictional agencies have responsibility for wildfire protection on federal lands. Within Fire Protection Districts and/or Fire Departments, the Fire Chief is responsible for fire protection on non-federal lands, unless this responsibility is transferred by mutual consent to the County Sheriff. The County Sheriff is responsible for wildfire protection on all non-federal lands in the county that are outside of Fire Protection District boundaries. The Division of Fire Prevention and Control does not have jurisdiction on any lands, until authority and responsibility is transferred by mutual consent from the County Sheriff to DFPC. Methods of Fire Protection and Suppression The Incident Command System (ICS) is a component of NIMS and is a standardized emergency management system specifically designed to provide for an integrated organizational structure used for incident management. ICS will be used to manage all wildland fires. Reciprocal (Mutual Aid) Fire Assistance Mutual Aid Zone: Mutual aid is considered to be county-wide. Mutual Aid Period: The mutual aid period is typically the first operational period ending at midnight. However, mutual aid may be extended through the second operational period by mutual consent of the involved parties. The mutual aid period will always end at midnight. Agencies are responsible for their own costs during the mutual aid time period. It is understood that no agency will be required or expected to commit its forces through mutual aid to assist another agency to the extent of jeopardizing the security or responsibilities of its own jurisdiction. Mutual Aid Resources: x The BLM type 3 helicopter stationed in Rifle (Rifle Helitack). x All eligible federal resources including severity resources. x All eligible DFPC resources positioned in the Colorado River Region, including MMA detection flights. DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 7 of 19 Non-Mutual Aid Resources: The following resources may be ordered but are not free during the mutual aid period. x Hand Crews x Smoke Jumpers x Aircraft - (except for Rifle Helitack and MMA detection flights) * GACC prepositioned resources are not under local unit control and may not be considered mutual aid. Mountain Area Mutual Aid The Mountain Area Mutual Aid Operating Plan (MAMA) establishes mutual aid between local Fire Departments and Counties in the Mountain Area Region. The parties to this plan consist of Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Lake, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt and Summit Counties. When Mountain Area Mutual Aid is implemented, an Agency Representative (AREP) may be assigned to the incident to facilitate the tracking and allocation of MAMA resources and coordinate with the agency(s) having jurisdiction. Resources who respond under MAMA may be assigned to the incident and placed on a resource order for extended attack if needed and available in IROC. Acquisition of Services Each agency will follow their own policies and procedures for acquiring services in support of an incident. Examples of these services include food caterers, portable toilets, hand wash stations, land use agreements, etc. The agency(s) having jurisdiction are responsible for supporting the incident. Joint Projects and Project Plans The Parties to this AOP may jointly conduct cooperative projects, within their authority and as authorized by law, to maintain or improve their fire management services and activities. The CWPPs for Eagle County and those communities within Eagle County should be a driver in this effort. Fire Prevention Prevention efforts should be coordinated to provide uniform and consistent information to the public. News releases and media events should be coordinated to prevent duplication, maintain a consistent message to the public, and reduce costs. Public Use Restrictions The purpose of fire restrictions is to reduce the risk of human-caused fires during high fire danger and/or burning conditions, and for the protection of human life and property. Fire restrictions and closures are invoked on federal, state, county, and private lands under federal and state laws. It is essential that the restrictions and closures are easily understood by the public and that implementation should be closely coordinated across all lands and jurisdictions DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 8 of 19 involved in the county. Fire restrictions may be implemented all together at the same time or individually as needed given the differences in elevation and fuel conditions. In the case that fire restrictions are implemented, the county sheriff will be responsible for the enforcement on non- federal lands and the respective federal agency is responsible for enforcement of federal lands. The procedures for initiation and rescinding fire restrictions and emergency closures are described in Attachment B - Fire Restriction Process. In addition to the criteria listed in the Fire Restrictions Process, fire managers may consider other factors such as fire occurrence, resistance to control, availability of resources, etc. Burn Permits An open burn permit is required in Eagle County for prescribed fires and open burning on private land. Burn Permits are issued by Eagle County and require both the applicable Fire Protection District/Department and County signature for approval. Prescribed Fire (Planned Ignitions) and Fuels Management The Parties may cooperate in the development and implementation of prescribed burning programs and projects. Each agency will notify the other agencies of major prescribed burning activity prior to ignition. If parties to this AOP conduct a cooperative prescribed fire, details covering cost sharing, reimbursement, and responsibility for suppression costs, should it escape, shall be agreed upon and documented in the burn plan. Wildfires resulting from escaped prescribed fires ignited by a party to this AOP on lands it manages shall be the responsibility of that party. The party responsible for the prescribed fire will reimburse other parties to this AOP consistent with the terms and conditions contained herein for costs incurred in suppression of such fires. Smoke Management The Parties to this plan will try and minimize negative smoke impacts as a result prescribed burning. All prescribed fires will conform to standards set forth in local, state, and federal regulations. Smoke Management Permits are required to conduct prescribed burns and are administered through the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). OPERATIONS Fire Notifications The responsible jurisdictional agency will be notified of a wildfire on or threatening their land as soon as possible once jurisdiction is determined. Notification of the jurisdictional agency may be made by the Dispatch or Communication Center tracking the initial attack resources. DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 9 of 19 Boundary Line Fires A boundary line fire is a fire that occurs on lands of intermingled and/or adjoining protection responsibilities. A fire adjacent to a protection boundary or located in an area of undetermined jurisdiction will be the initial attack responsibility of the protecting agencies on both sides of the boundary. If multiple agencies are engaged in a fire on or near common boundaries, the agency representatives should convene as soon as possible to decide upon the best fire strategy. Response to Wildland Fire Firefighter and public safety are the first and foremost priority. Upon arriving on scene initial attack resources should provide a size-up, determine jurisdiction, and make the appropriate notifications if necessary. Resources should only commit to tactics and strategies that have a high probability of success while accomplishing incident objectives. The parties agree to establish LCES and follow the 10 Standard Fire Orders. The closest forces concept will be utilized. There should be no delay in response pending determination of the precise location of a fire, land ownership, fire jurisdiction or responsibility. The jurisdictional agency will assume command of the incident as soon as possible or as otherwise agreed. Special Management Considerations Management Objectives: All lands under the Sheriff’s jurisdiction are managed under a full suppression strategy. However, it is recognized that federal agencies may manage fire for multiple objectives on lands within their jurisdiction. A supporting agency taking independent action within another agency’s jurisdiction should notify that agency as soon as possible, in order to avoid conflicting land management objectives. Evacuations Evacuation efforts will be coordinated and controlled by the Eagle County Sheriff’s office. 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. Greater Sage-Grouse: Greater Sage-Grouse protection and habitat enhancement is a high priority for the federal land management agencies, however firefighter and public safety is the first priority on every fire and takes precedence over natural resource protection. When unplanned ignition occurs in GUSG habitat the appropriate federal land management agency will be immediately notified. Retardant Avoidance Areas: Avoid aerial application of all wildland fire chemicals within 300 feet (ft.) of waterways or other mapped avoidance areas. Waterways are defined as any body of water (including lakes, rivers, DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 10 of 19 streams, and ponds) whether or not it contains aquatic life. Deviations from the policy are allowed only for the protection of life or safety (public and firefighter). Decision Process Federal agencies are required to utilize the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) for fires on their lands. If multi-jurisdictional fires occur that involve federal and non-federal lands, then one WFDSS should be completed for the incident that includes input from all affected jurisdictional agencies. Additionally all State Responsibility Fires require a Decision Support System be utilized. Cooperation The parties agree to coordinate fire suppression efforts and will continue to enhance strong partnerships between local, state, and federal agencies. Communication Each agency is responsible for providing public information as necessary for fires that they are responsible for. The parties agree to coordinate public information efforts as needed. On multijurisdictional fires a Joint Information Center (JIC) may be established. A JIC can act as a single point of coordination for public information on an incident. The agencies having jurisdiction on the incident are all represented and can jointly disseminate official, timely, and accurate information to the public through their respective PIOs. Cost efficiency Cost effectiveness of any fire operation is the responsibility of all involved, including those that authorize, direct, or implement those operations. Cooperation and coordination during the decision process should be the intent with the goal being to accomplish fire operations objectives safely and efficiently. Each party is fiscally accountable and responsible for the cost of the suppression of wildfires within their respective jurisdictional boundaries. The parties agree to coordinate and make joint decisions when resources are being ordered that may have a financial impact on a partner agency. . Delegation of Authority In the event of an extended attack incident, a Delegation of Authority should be issued to the Incident Commander prior to he or she assuming command of the fire. If that is not possible due to time constraints then the delegation should be issued as soon as possible following the assumption of command. If the fire is a multijurisdictional fire, then an Agency Administrator from each jurisdictional agency should issue a single joint Delegation of Authority to the incident commander.

Regardless of whether the Initial Attack Incident Commander is a representative of the Jurisdictional Agency, he or she should protect and preserve the general origin area of the fire, as well as information and evidence pertaining to the origin and cause of the wildland fire. The general origin area of the fire should be immediately identified and protected by the first Participant to arrive on the scene in order to protect evidence for the fire origin and cause investigation. Fire cause investigations are required for Federal Fires, State Responsibility Fires, and any wildland fire that receives a Federal Emergency Management Agency declaration. The Participants acknowledge that an accurate origin and cause investigation and determination is essential to an effective and fair administrative, civil or criminal action. Federal policy requires Federal agencies to use an NWCG qualified Fire Investigator (INVF) and to pursue cost recovery for all human-caused fires on public land. Joint investigations are encouraged on multijurisdictional fires. STATE EMERGENCY FIRE FUND (EFF) Eagle County is a participant in the Emergency Fire Fund program. This process formalizes the transfer of a qualifying fire from a County Responsibility Fire to a State Responsibility Fire. Details are outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding for Participation in the Colorado Emergency Fire Fund. USE AND REIMBURSEMENT OF INTERAGENCY FIRE RESOURCES Cost Share Agreement (Cost Share Methodologies) A cost share agreement should be considered for any multi-jurisdiction fire that goes beyond the mutual aid period or utilizes non-mutual aid resources. Cost share agreements should be negotiated as soon as practical, signed by agency administrators, and may be updated as needed. A copy of all cost share agreements should be provided to the DFPC Battalion Chief. Refer to the Cost Share Agreement Template in Attachment – D. Examples include but are not limited to the following methodologies for determining shared costs to the agencies involved: x Each agency assumes its own costs as expended by it in the fire control effort. x Division of costs based upon percent ownership. x Each agency agrees to a negotiated portion of the suppression costs. Training Each party is responsible for the training of their respective personnel. Standardized fire training courses are provided periodically within the County. As courses are offered, the Parties should advise the others and issue invitations to participate. DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 12 of 19 Communication Systems Local, state and federal agencies utilize different radio systems and frequencies. The Parties agree to share the appropriate radio frequencies with each other in order to enhance firefighter safety and allow for an effective mutual aid response. Fireground operations will be conducted on VHF using the UCR radio plan whenever possible. During the initial attack period, 800 Mhz will be used to communicate with VPSCC to coordinate non-fire suppression activities. The VHF Communications Plan for the UCR and Craig Interagency Fire are included in Attachment - A. Fire Weather Systems Fire weather forecasts are issued by the National Weather Service. Each agency may to obtain fire weather forecasts and is responsible for requesting spot weather forecasts for their individual fire incidents. Red Flag Warnings and Watches are issued by the National Weather Service. Aviation Operations Aviation resources for wildland fire should be ordered through Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch. When aircraft are ordered, the request should include the following: x Type and kind of aviation resource being requested. x Lat/Long (Degrees decimal minutes) x Ground contact for who will work with the aircraft on the incident. x Aerial Hazards in the area. Air Attack will be ordered automatically under certain circumstances per the Interagency Aerial Supervision Guide. Designated VHF air-to-ground frequencies are required when using aircraft and GJC will designate the appropriate air-to-ground frequency for the incident. Aircraft must be DOI/USFS carded for use on fires where federal resources are being used or where federal lands are involved. Multi-Mission Aircraft (MMA) To order the MMA call the DFPC Duty Officer at (720) 460-9367 and/or fill out and submit the MMA Ordering Form. Billing Procedures DFPC administers wildfire billing in Colorado for Local, State, and Federal agencies. The Parties may aggregate expenses incurred and present an invoice for such expenses to DFPC. Required documentation includes but is not limited to Resource Orders, Crew Time Reports, Equipment Shift Tickets, and Colorado Resource Rate Forms (CRRFs). DFPC will then bill the DocuSign Envelope ID: 19BB0A6E-1AEC-4EFC-820C-A5628B3A1659DocuSign Envelope ID: FEB6DB76-036C-47DF-9D3F-286B0B33FCFD Page 13 of 19 jurisdictional authority and reimburse the applicable party. A copy of all cost share agreements between non-federal and federal agencies should be provided to DFPC for billing purposes. (For more detailed information see Exhibit A of the Statewide Annual Operating Plan.) Cost Recovery In the event that cost recovery is pursed on a trespass fire, all costs from the time of initial report of the fire may be pursued including those incurred during the Mutual Aid period. Federal policy requires Federal agencies to pursue cost recovery for all human-caused fires on federal jurisdiction GENERAL PROVISIONS Personnel Policy The Parties are subject to the personnel laws, rules and policies of their respective organizations. Modification No modification or amendment to this AOP will be effective unless made in writing and signed by all Parties hereto. Annual Review Prior to April 1 of each year, the Parties must jointly prepare, review, update, and execute this AOP. Duration of Plan This AOP remains in effect until superseded. Previous Plans Superseded Once signed, this AOP supersedes the previous AOP.
