UPPER COLORADO RIVER INTERAGENCY FIRE MANAGEMENT UNIT
RESPONSIBILITIES
The UCR is responsible for managing fires occurring on National Forest lands and lands administered
by the Bureau of Land Management.
It is clearly and mutually understood that the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM will respond to
wildfires and follow through on all necessary suppression actions on Denver Water properties in
Eagle County.
B. Mutual Aid
Primary Purpose
The parties hereto respectively pledge their good faith in attempting to assist each other based on
their needs, requests for mutual aid, and the circumstances of a wildland fire. Each party will
take appropriate actions to manage all wildland fires during the mutual aid time period and
thereafter, and agrees the primary concern is the extinguishing of wildland fires, and none will
delay extinguishment efforts while deciding ultimate responsibility for such fires.
Mutual Aid Time Period
• Mutual Aid between the County and Eagle County Agencies lasts for the first 72 hours from
the time the first initial attack resource arrives on scene
• Mutual Aid between all other parties hereto shall (1) Not exceed 24 hours, and (2) Will end
at midnight of the first burn period when the Incident Commander determines that the fire
cannot be controlled within 24 hours of the initial ignition
4
County -wide Mutual Aid
Mutual Aid has been established county -wide without regard to jurisdictional boundaries.
Agencies are responsible for their own costs during the mutual aid time period. The BLM
helicopter stationed in Rifle is considered a mutual aid resource, and if not assigned to another
fire, is available without charge to county fire agencies 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. EXHIBIT B shows mutual aid resources available from cooperating agencies.
Severity Resources
Severity Resources of the UCR will be available for mutual aid response. This does not include
smoke jumpers, heavy airtankers, or heavy helicopters.
C. Special Management Considerations
Aerial Retardant Use — The use of aerial retardants on all lands is restricted within 300 feet of lakes,
rivers and live streams.
a. Denver Water Board Lands
Notification — When a wildfire occurs on lands owned by Denver Water, the CSFS
Granby District representative must be notified, as soon as practical. The CSFS
representative will respond, as needed, to serve as the landowner's representative on the
incident and document suppression response.
Use of Mechanized Equipment — Use of mechanized, earthmoving equipment such as
bulldozers, graders, etc., will not be permitted on Denver Water lands without the
expressed approval of CSFS or Denver Water.
b. Federal Lands
Use of roads on federal lands, presently closed to vehicular travel (outside of wilderness
or wilderness study areas), is hereby authorized to all parties to this Wildfire Annual
Operating Plan as follows:
Access for detection and suppression is allowed on established roads behind locked gates.
Access for suppression only is allowed on roads which have been designated as "closed."
Detection and reporting within areas marked as "D polygons" on the White River
National Forest Wildland Fire Response Areas map is authorized. Suppression efforts
should not be taken unless authorized by the U.S. Forest Service.
5
Detection or suppression within designated wilderness, wilderness study areas and/or
"roadless" areas, as designated on the White River National Forest Wildland Fire
Response Areas map, is authorized as follows:
The use of mechanized equipment (vehicles, chainsaws, pumps, etc.) within wilderness
areas is prohibited, unless specifically authorized by USFS.
Non- mechanized detection and suppression efforts are authorized in those portions of
wilderness areas that are not part of a "D polygon" area.
Detection and reporting only is authorized within wilderness areas that are also within a
"D polygons" area. Natural ignitions in these areas will be evaluated for, and may be
managed for multiple management objectives.
D. Repair of Wildfire Suppression Damage
Repair of wildfire suppression damage is the responsibility of the jurisdictional agency /agencies
(land manager /owner) unless otherwise agreed to by a unified command group. The state
Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) is strictly a fire suppression fund and cannot pay for rehabilitation.
Repair of damage directly related to suppression, i.e., water bars on dozer lines, may be authorized
by the CSFS line officer only when part of the Incident Action Plan during the EFF period.
Repair of wildfire suppression damage on Denver Water lands is the responsibility of Denver
Water, unless otherwise agreed to by the unified command at the time of fire close out. All efforts
will be made by agencies involved in suppressive action to minimize damage through the use of
"light on the land" techniques, or through rehabilitation activities conducted at the time of the
incident. Examples of these rehabilitation activities would include: water barring firelines;
placement of logs or rocks across firelines; etc....

j risdictional incidents will utilize unified command. Under unified command affected Federal,
'.tate, and County jurisdictions will provide on scene representation. These designated
Iepresentatives will communicate direction and objectives to ONE incident commander who has no .
ollateral duties. The incident will have ONE fireline operations section chief to implement
• trategy and tactics. All requests for fire information will be approved by the IC utilizing a single
re information officer.
• local Multi- Agency Coordination group may be initiated when two or more agencies are
xperiencing incidents requiring a significant commitment of county resources.
7
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAMS
a. Northwest Colorado All- Hazard Incident Management Team
The Northwest A11- Hazards Emergency Planning Region and the Northwest Council of
Governments has established an Incident Management Team (IMT) which is made up of
qualified personnel from various local agencies who are available to respond at the
request of any of the 10 Northwest Counties or from the State of Colorado. The team
fiscal agent is the Town of Vail. This IMT can assist the host agency, or support another
IMT. The Northwest Colorado IMT can be requested through the Vail Public Safety
Communication Center.
b. Regional Type 3 Incident Management Teams
Type 3 (local, extended attack) IMT is organized and dispatched for the Upper Colorado
River Interagency Fire Management Unit area through Grand Junction Interagency
Dispatch Center. This cadre is staffed by NWCG qualified personnel at the Type 3 level
from federal, state, and county agencies in the zone. This IMT is available to assist all
jurisdictional agencies within the area, and is available to staff an incident for up to 7
days. The Type 3 IMT can be used to handle the coordination of medium -sized
incidents, or to serve as an interim team on larger incidents before a Type 1 or Type 2
IMT can assume management duties.
c. Type 1 and Type 2 Incident Management Teams (IMT)
For incidents that exceed the capability of Type 4 or Type 3 IMTs. All Eagle County
requests for Type 1 or Type 2 IMTs must be placed through the Grand Junction
Interagency Dispatch Center.
B. Detection
All reports of actual or potential wildfires will be made to the appropriate dispatch. All wildland
fire reports will be forwarded by the appropriate dispatch to the appropriate jurisdiction and Grand
Junction Interagency Dispatch Center with a preference to the use of Northwest NET, with a back
up of landline communication.
The participating agencies that can take the quickest effective fire size -up or appropriate
management action will be dispatched for initial attack. The jurisdictional agency will respond and
establish command at the earliest possible time.
C. Notification About Fires
Assisting agencies making initial attack on fires outside their jurisdiction will ensure, through Vail
Dispatch, that the jurisdictional agency is promptly notified. The actual UCR size up report per
2012 Incident Organizer should be made by the initial attack incident commander directly to GJC if
possible. UCR size up report can be found in EXHIBIT B. The initial attack incident commander
is responsible for ensuring that Vail Dispatch notifies GJC of all fires reported on USFS, BLM and
Denver Water lands.
8
II shall be the responsibility of the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM to notify the Colorado State
Forest Service if Denver Water lands are involved or threatened, as soon as practical.
Eagle County or GJC - CSFS must be notified when 1) non - federal wildland fire escapes
initial attack, or 2) threatens structures, or 3) air resources are ordered for non - federal
Suppression efforts.
D. Mutual Aid Dispatch Areas
utual. Aid will be exchanged between the participants regardless of jurisdictional boundary lines.
1 ach agency or department is responsible for providing Worker's Compensation Insurance for its
wn personnel.
a. County - Federal Mutual Aid
Mutual aid is exchanged between the County, participating municipalities and fire
protection district parties hereto, in the aggregate, and the United States parties. As to
such mutual aid, the jurisdictional boundaries are those on the White River National
Forest Map, delineating the boundaries of USFS, BLM and "Eagle County" (representing
all state and private lands) without regard to the boundaries of individual municipalities
and fire protection districts.
b. Intra- County Mutual Aid
Mutual aid is exchanged between the County, participating municipalities and fire
protection district parties hereto. As to such mutual aid, the relevant jurisdictional
boundaries are those of the municipalities, the fire protection districts and the County.
c. County -wide Response
When dispatched, participants will respond to wildfires in the County regardless of
jurisdiction. The level of activity or involvement by assisting agencies making a
response may vary. At a minimum, assisting agencies will send such personnel and
equipment necessary to size -up the fire and report the situation to the jurisdictional
agency. Upon arrival, the initial attack incident commander will determine legal
description and the need for appropriate jurisdictional fire investigator.
E. County -wide Initial Attack
The closest forces should be dispatched without regard to jurisdiction. Participants will initiate
suppression activities regardless of jurisdiction when it is within their capability to do so. Assisting
agencies will not initial attack fires on another jurisdiction if initial attack puts personnel at
unreasonable risk, such as a remote fire discovered at night, or if asked to stand down by the
jurisdictional agency. Agencies taking independent action within another agency's jurisdiction
should notify that agency as soon as possible. The jurisdictional agency should assume
responsibility for suppression at the earliest possible time, or as otherwise agreed. No party to this
agreement shall be required to make resources or assistance available to the requesting party if by
so doing would impair the party's ability to provide effective emergency services within its own
service area.
9
F. Dispatching and Resource Ordering Procedure
Once the IC has determined need for additional resources beyond the scope of county resources,
those resources will be ordered through the identified Interagency Dispatch Center.
The Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement between all Eagle County fire protection districts
allows resources to be dispatched anywhere in the county, at the request of a fire protection district
representative acting as incident commander.
Coordination with Eagle County OEM for additional resources is available and recommended in
order to avoid duplication of resources ordered.
During Initial attack the sequence for requesting wildland resources from outside Eagle
County for an Eagle County incident will be:
Incident Commander — Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch — Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch
Center —► Providing Agency Dispatch Center
The sequence for requesting air resources will be:
Incident Commander —0 GJC NOTE: GJC will advise Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch of air
resources in Eagle County
The sequence for requesting Eagle County resources for an out -of- countv response will be:
Incident Commander --> Their Dispatch Center --► Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center
--> Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch --0 Requested resource
G. Reinforcements and Support
All requests for additional resources beyond initial attack will be made by the applicable agency
representative, using the ordering procedures outlined under section XI.F above. Vail Dispatch will
ensure Eagle County OEM notification when resources are sent out of county.
It shall be the responsibility of the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM when responding to a
wildfire on Denver Water lands to order needed assistance, or acquire replacements to relieve their
initial attack crews or the crews of assisting agencies.
II. Interagency Procurement
Non - federal participants to this Plan may purchase fire suppression supplies through General
Services Administration. Any other loaning, sharing, exchanging or maintenance of facilities, .
equipment or support services will be considered on a case -by -case basis as mutually agreed to by
the concerned parties.
10
I. Interagency Use of Communication System/Frequencies
' ederal, State, and County radio systems are largely incompatible at this time; however, all fire
agencies in Eagle County are equipped with the Fire Emergency Radio Network (VFIRE -21) and
800 MHz capabilities. VFIRE -21 (154.2800) and 800 MHz system channels may be used for
+ i teragency communication on a wildfire if one agency's operational channels are not compatible
ith another agency's radios.
For the purpose of conducting business authorized by this Operating Plan, all parties to this
Operating Plan agree that assisting agencies may use the jurisdictional agency's radio frequencies
as needed to conduct emergency communications on fires. No participant to this Operating Plan
ill use, or authorize others to use, another agency's radio frequencies for purposes beyond the
s ope of this Operating Plan.
dio frequencies specifically authorized for use on wildfires are shown in EXHIBIT B.
J. Wildland Fire Decision Support System
F deral agencies will complete a Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) on all fires on
f eral lands or Denver Water lands that escape initial attack to determine appropriate response.
Decision Support System (DSS) may be completed for fires that have the potential to be
d signated as an EFF fire or that affect multiple jurisdictions and have the potential to go into
extended attack. CSFS may assist with a non -EFF DSS, but has no authority to sign on non -EFF
fifes.
C FS requires that a DSS be completed for all fires that receive a FEMA declaration and
r ommends a DSS is completed for all EFF fires. All agencies involved in extended attack on
p vate and state lands will provide input to the DSS. The CSFS Line Officer will facilitate
c mpletion and review of the DSS for these fires.
When a fire is burning on or threatens to burn on multiple jurisdictions, one DSS should be
prepared that considers all jurisdictions and their interests.
CSFS requires that an Emergency Fire Fund Analysis Form (CSFS -108A, see EXHIBIT C) be
prepared on all non - federal fires, including fires on Denver Water land, that have the potential to
exceed County control capabilities. The County Sheriff, or his designee, should use this form to
he p determine if a fire might be eligible for EFF designation.
K. . tate Emergency Fire Fund (EFF)
Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) Procedures:
Eagle County and Denver Water are participants in the State Emergency Fire Fund (EFF)
with CSFS. As a participant to this agreement, the State agrees to come to the aid of
Eagle County should suppression resource needs exceed county capability. Following are
the roles and responsibilities under EFF:
11
CSFS: A CSFS representative must be on site for an EFF evaluation. CSFS will assist the
county sheriff in the analysis of the wildfire's actual or potential condition to exceed the
county's suppression capability. This information will be provided to the CSFS State
Forester who will make the final decision on EFF applicability.
Eagle County Sheriff: as Fire Warden for the County (CRS 30 -10 -513), the Sheriff will
represent the County in the request for EFF declaration to the CSFS district, and
subsequent delegations and assumptions of duty (CSFS #168, #174). The Sheriff will
coordinate other County entities in his representation.
Eagle County Commissioners: are signatories to the CSFS #168 "Assumption of Fire
Control Duty" for fires the State Forester approves for EFF. The Sheriff will facilitate
obtaining a signature from the County Commissioners. Delay in signing the #168 may
result in increased costs for the county.
Federal Agencies: are almost always involved even when the fire is entirely on private
or state land. Their policies and concerns must be addressed on all fires.
All EFF fires will utilize a Unified Command consisting of, at a minimum, the County
Sheriff and CSFS. If land administered by another agency is threatened or involved, that
agency will provide a member of the Unified Command.
Implementation of the EFF can be done only by the Colorado State Forester upon the
recommendation of the local CSFS Representative, following a request from the County
Sheriff. For this reason, it is important that the CSFS Fire Duty Officer be notified
immediately of major fires on private /state lands within the county. Should the fire
surpass, or threaten to surpass, the ability of county resources to contain it, EFF
implementation can occur only with a CSFS representative on scene.
All EFF participating Counties must have identified a minimum county commitment to
any incident which has EFF potential. This is not a maximum county resource
commitment, and is not the only resources the county is
required to use on the incident in order to request EFF implementation. ff tactics of a
given incident make some of this equipment inappropriate, alternate resources or
combination of resources can be negotiated.
Eagle County minimum commitment is:
4 Engines
1 Dozer
1 Water Tender
1 Ambulance
Logistical Support appropriate to fire complexity and availability of county
resources
CSFS will transfer command of an EFF fire back to the county when fire spread has been
contained, the Line Officer's objectives have been met, and a written plan has been
prepared for the next operational period.
The forms listed above, CSFS 108A, 164, 168 and minimum county resource
commitment are shown in EXHIBIT C.
12
L. Traffic Control
Traffic control will be provided by the appropriate law enforcement agency, upon request, to
expedite the routing of vehicles to and from major fires and to exclude unauthorized personnel from
the fire area.
M, Law Enforcement and Fire Investigation
It will be the responsibility of the jurisdictional agency to take appropriate law enforcement action.
Law enforcement personnel from non jurisdictional agencies may assist, upon request, from the
j urisdictional agency.
The jurisdictional agency will have responsibility for investigating fires and any civil or criminal
actions taken. The County will coordinate fire investigation for EFF fires. Assisting agencies will
cooperate with fire investigations, upon request, of the jurisdictional agency(ies). Assisting
agencies will make every effort to identify, protect and report all evidence to the jurisdictional
gency.
N. Post Incident Action Analysis
Post incident analysis of events and actions taken by suppression forces during wildland fires will
be conducted by the jurisdictional agency commensurate with the complexity of the incident.
O. Incident Qualifications
Incident qualification cards (red cards) may not be required for initial attack of fires within Eagle
County; however, firefighters without red cards may be released from an incident by the authorized
representative of the jurisdictional agency. The authorized representative of the jurisdictional
agency will coordinate the release of assisting agency personnel through the ranking
officer /representative of the assisting agency.
P. Fire operations in Bark Beetle Killed Stands
Due to altered fuel conditions, personnel operating within the bark beetle environment should be
aware of the imminent danger presented by dead and dying trees, falling at an increasing rate across
a broad forested landscape. Included in EXHIBIT D is the USFS -R2 Fire Operations Guidance
i Bark Beetle Stands
XI. AVIATION PROCEDURES
A. Aviation Requests and Operations
All requests for air support resources should be made to the Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch
Center.
When aircraft is requested by any agency for suppression efforts, the request must include the
f llowing:
• Name and agency of person ordering
• Name and location, geographical or township /range
• Ground Contact with air to ground frequency (FM A/G frequencies)
13
Additional information that is helpful:
• Lat /Long in preferred datum WGS 84 degrees /minutes /decimal minutes
• Elevation of fire
• Other aircraft in the area, including radio frequencies in use
• Aircraft hazards in the area
• Current threats and values at risk
Personnel whom are ordering aircraft are encouraged to use the Air Support Request form in
EXHIBIT E.
Initial order for aircraft may be authorized by the local on -scene incident commander. Requests for
additional air support resources beyond this initial request must be authorized by the jurisdictional
agency.
The County Sheriff or his designee will notify the CSFS Granby District representative
IMMEDIATELY when aircraft is ordered for a non - federal fire. Grand Junction Interagency
Dispatch Center will make a courtesy call to CSFS whenever the county orders air support
resources.
B. CSFS Single Engine Air Tankers (SEAT)
Single engine air tankers may be pre - positioned at the Kremmling or Rifle airport when a
combination of factors or events warrant having an aircraft in the area. Requests for pre -
positioning will be made by the County Sheriff through the CSFS Granby District Representative.
Conditions that may warrant pre - positioning a SEAT include:
• Multiple fire starts within a 72 -hour period
• High occurrence of dry lightning
• Persistent. Red Flag Warnings
• Local resources are occupied with other assignments
• Other factors as determined by the Sheriff or CSFS Granby District representative
Eagle County airport will not be used for SEAT operations due to performance issues for fully
loaded SEATS maneuvering in the narrow valley near the airport.
C. Leadplane/Air Attack Activation
Heavy air tankers are dispatched with a leadplane when one is available. Single engine air tankers
may be dispatched without a leadplane if the pilot is initial attack qualified.
Aerial supervision (Air Attack or Lead Plane) will be ordered when multiple aircraft are over the
fire at one time or if requested by pilots on scene.
14
'
D. Wildfire Emergency Response Fund
The Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (Ref: Colorado State Statue CRS 23 -31 -309) was
created to assist local jurisdictions with initial attack wildland fire response on state and private
lands within the state of Colorado. Any County Sheriff, municipal fire department, or fire
protection district within Colorado may request WERF as the official Requesting Agency. WERF
will reimburse, if funds are available, the Requesting Agency the cost of eligible wildland
firefighting resources. The fund will be utilized as outlined in the attached WERF Guidelines,
EXHIBIT E.
XII. FIRE PREVENTION
A. Information and Education
Ei ach agency will prepare and release fire prevention material and radio /TV presentations according
to their own prevention plans. Coordination with cooperating agencies will be followed in order to
prevent a conflict in released material. All releases for fire prevention will carry USFS, CSFS, fire
'strict and County Sheriff acknowledgements. Eagle County Joint Information Center will be
ilized to disseminate information, as needed.
re prevention signs will be maintained as required by each agency for lands under their
j risdiction.
e Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center (GJC) will monitor local fire danger levels. GJC
vstill make fire weather watches, Red Flag warning bulletins and other fire information available to
cooperators via the Internet: http: / /www.fs.fed.us /r2 /fire /rmacc.html
B. Burning Permits
Parties to this Agreement have the responsibility of issuing burning permits in their respective
jurisdictions. The burning permit shall require the holder to notify Vail or Pitkin dispatch of
controlled burning on all land(s) prior to ignition. In addition, all pertinent state and federal
r lations will be followed. Permits require both Eagle County and appropriate fire jurisdiction
si atures.
C. urning Restrictions /Closures
R strictions governing use of open fires during hazardous periods will be a coordinated effort of
cooperating agencies. A flow chart that outlines the procedures for implementing and rescinding
fife restrictions is attached as EXHIBIT F.
15
XIII. FUELS MANAGEMENT AND PRESCRIBED FIRE CONSIDERATIONS
The participants to this Operating Plan will cooperate in the development and implementation of
prescribed burning programs and projects including planned ignitions, wildland fire use and
modified control strategies and tactics applied to fires within remote areas. The Eagle County
Community Wildfire Protection Plan includes prioritized wildfire mitigation project areas.
Wildfires resulting from escaped prescribed fires ignited by a party to this Operating Plan, shall be
the responsibility of that party. The party responsible for the prescribed fire will reimburse other
parties to this Plan consistent with the terms and conditions contained herein for costs incurred in
suppression of such fires.
If parties to this Plan 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.
XIV. COST REIMBURSEMENTS
A. Reimbursable Costs
Each agency will assume responsibility for its own expenses during the mutual aid period.
The assisting agency(ies) may request reimbursement for costs incurred after the mutual aid period
from the jurisdictional agency.
Costs incurred by an assisting agency for services beyond the mutual aid period shall be considered
reimbursable provided the services were requested by the jurisdictional agency.
Any costs incurred by Jurisdictional Agencies for the initial attack period and beyond, and for
additional time or efforts which may be requested by the Colorado State Forest Service or Denver
Water, shall be considered reimbursable, as funds are available, following approval by the Colorado
State Forest Service. An agency that provides a reasonable initial attack response on Denver Water
lands when the jurisdictional agency is unable to respond, may also request reimbursement as funds
are available, from the Denver Water.
When fire occurs on lands of more than one jurisdictional agency and costs are incurred beyond the
scope of mutual aid fire protection, costs will be borne by each agency proportional to the size of
the burned area on each agency's jurisdictional area or as mutually agreed upon by the unified
command. When a fire is accepted by the State as an EFF incident, the Cost Share Principles
agreed to by State and federal agencies will apply. See EXHIBIT G
For fire protection district /department jurisdiction or multi jurisdictional fires not under the sheriffs
management, Eagle County will consider assisting with cost share for incidents within the
boundaries of a fire protection district/ department when fire districts/ department share
exceeds 1.5% of that districts annual budget for allowable expenses. Allowable expenses will not
include;
• Any facilities, equipment and/or personnel for the fire district who is a party to the cost share
agreement.
16
• Any facilities, equipment and or personnel from any Eagle County agency until after 72 hours
from the time the first initial attack resource arrives on scene.
• Any expense incurred prior to notification of the appropriate Eagle County Emergency
Management representative.
• Any facilities, equipment, vendors and/or personnel that can be made available through Eagle
County's existing networks unless Eagle County has agreed to share those costs in advance.
B. Reimbursement Procedures
I,.' reimbursement for an incident can best be handled at a local level, the assisting agency may
i voice the jurisdictional agency directly.
I deemed more efficient, the County may aggregate expenses incurred by the County and local fire
epartments to suppress fires on federal jurisdictions and may present an invoice for such expense
t 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
. stricts for federal suppression on non - federal lands to CSFS. CSFS will make such
r imbursement and subsequently invoice the County or department as appropriate.
ooperator reimbursement procedures, forms, and examples are contained in EXHIBIT II,
part of this agreement.
I
DENVER WATER LANDS
• Payment for reimbursable costs on Denver Water lands must be coordinated through
the local CSFS District Office. Contact CSFS Granby District office for assistance in
preparing reimbursement requests for Denver Water wildland fire suppression
response.
C. Resource Use Rates
Cooperative Resource Rate Forms (CRRF) will show the rates of equipment that may be used on a
wildland fire. Resources listed on a CRRF are considered Mutual Aid resources and, as such, will
not be billed for during the mutual aid period.
Cooperating agencies must have an approved CRRF to be available in ROSS for out of local area
dispatch. Resources assigned to a state EFF fire from the cooperating agency without a current
CRRF will be reimbursed using established standard state cooperator equipment rates. Cooperator
equipment should not be signed up using an Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA).
I
Cooperators that choose not to complete the Cooperative Resource Rate Form will be reimbursed at
the current established standard state cooperator equipment rates.
See Cooperative Resource Rate Forms, EXHIBIT I.
17
XV. GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Periodic Program Reviews
Program reviews will be conducted at the annual fire operating plan meeting.
B. Annual Review
The parties shall meet at least annually, before the beginning of the wildland fire season, to review
and, if appropriate, to propose amendments to this Eagle County Annual Wildfire Operating Plan,
with a goal of having any such amendments or replacement plan formally renewed not later than
May 1 of each year and be coordinated with the Umbrella Agreements. Proposed amendments
shall take effect upon execution by all of the parties hereto. If no changes are made, a statement
letter with signatures of all parties to this operating plan will be distributed.
C. Resolution of Disputes
The primary purpose of this Operating Plan is to ensure prompt suppression of wildland fires. Any
interagency dispute arising from these procedures will be resolved on site by the Unified or MACS
Command Group. When necessary, following the conclusion of the incident, a panel of agency
representatives, other than the parties involved in the incident, will review and resolve the dispute.
XVI. DIRECTORY OF PERSONNEL

COUNTY COOPERATOR FIRE REPORTING
AND SIZE -UP REQUIREMENTS FOR 2012
Due to new federal fire reporting requirements, the Upper Colorado Interagency Fire
Management Unit will now require full size -up information for wildland fires originating on
county lands when federal resources are requested for mutual aid. In addition, full size -up
information is required when a county resource provides suppression on federal lands without
federal resources on scene.
A good tool to use to be sure the required information is captured is the UCR Incident Organizer
available on our website in the UCR Guides and Manuals section:
http: / /gacc.nifc.gov /rmcc /dispatch centers /r2gjc/
Minimal required size -up information includes:
• Lat /Long location of point of origin
• Discovery, initial attack, control and out times
• Site data to include topography, aspect, slope and elevation
• Fuel type
• Human or natural cause
If requesting resources such as aircraft or smokejumpers, a COMPLETE size -up will be required.
In addition to the minimal required information listed above, the size -up must include:
• Spread potential
• Character of fire
• Weather conditions
• Know hazards and values at risk
Please forward the completed UCR Incident Organizer to the federal resource on scene or send
directly to:
Grand Junction Air Center Dispatch
2774 Landing View Lane
Grand Junction, CO 81506
EXHIBIT C
EMERGENCY FIRE FUND (EFF) FIRES
The minimum commitment of county resources to EFF fires in Eagle County is shown as
follows:
Eagle County minimum commitment is:
4 Engines
1 Dozer
1 Water Tender
1 Ambulance
Logistical Support appropriate to fire complexity and availability of
county resources
hi the event that any of the above equipment is not needed or requested by the Colorado
State Forest Service line officer during an EFF fire the minimum commitment will be
considered as being met. It is understood that this is a minimum and a considerably
larger commitment may be necessary for certain fires.
The following forms are also attached as part of EXHIBIT C:
EFF Analysis Form (CSFS 108A)
CSFS Fire Funding Request (CSFS 164)
Assumption of Fire Control Duty (CSFS 168)
GUIDELINES for EFF
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Intergovernmental Agreement for Participation in the Colorado
Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) is to: establish the County's basis for participation in the Emergency
Fire Fund to provide for payments from the County to the Fund; and describe the conditions
under which the Emergency Fire Fund will be managed.
WILDFIRE PROTECTION
As required in the Cooperative Agreement, the County and CSFS shall jointly
develop, review, and sign an Annual Operating Plan (AOP) before May 1 of
each year with all cooperating agencies having wildfire suppression responsibilities
within the County. Failure to complete the AOP by May 1 of any year during the
term of this Agreement shall result in the automatic suspension of the County from
EFF participation unless the County has requested, in writing, and received approval
by the State Forester, a 60 day extension of the May 1 date to complete the AOP,
stating the specific reason(s) for the extension. The State Forester shall, in his or her
sole discretion, approve or deny the request in writing.
EME GENCY FIRE FUND
A. The Emergency Fire Fund (EFF or "the Fund ") has been established through the
payments provided by participating Colorado counties and other entities entering into EFF
agreements with the CSFS. The EFF is maintained as an account of Colorado State University,
under the fiscal management of the State Forester. Payments from the EFF account shall be made
only in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations pertaining to Colorado State
University funds, including, but not limited to, the State Fiscal Rules. The State Forester is
designated as the fiscal manager of all such monies received and all interest accrued in the EFF.
No upper limit shall be placed on the amount of funds in the EFF, and funds may accumulate
from - ar to year.
B. Final decision making authority over fiscal management matters shall reside
with t - State Forester on behalf of the Counties collectively.
C. The CSFS shall make distribution of these funds only upon direction of the State
Forest; r or his designee and will be subject to the "Emergencies" provisions of the State Fiscal
Rules Rule 2 -2). Disbursements shall be limited to such expenditures incurred in controlling a
design ted wildfire as are within the then - current, unencumbered balance of the Fund.
F. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the EFF becomes depleted, or
has in fficient funds to meet the expected needs of the Fund, the State Forester will make every
2011 C uidelines for
Emerg . ncy Fire Fund
reasonable effort to obtain additional funds by requesting the Governor to make additional funds
available. Should the State Forester be unsuccessful in efforts to obtain additional funding, fire
control costs will remain the County's responsibility.
EFF IMPLEMENTATION
A. The County will make every effort to control fire(s) upon non - federal lands
within the County with resources available within the County. In the event that the County and
the CSFS mutually agree that the fire(s) threatens to spread, or has spread, beyond control
capability of the firefighting resources within the County (as outlined in the County's Annual
Operating Plan), the State Forester (or his authorized designee) and the authorized County
representative shall sign a Delegation of Duty giving the State Forester command responsibility
for the fire(s). Once command responsibility has been assumed by the CSFS, the County shall
nevertheless continue to make its maximum effort to provide firefighting resources from within
the County.
B. When a fire can again reasonably be managed by the County with resources
available to it, command responsibility for incident management and for payment of all fire
control costs will be returned by the State Forester to the County. No expenditures made by the
County prior to assumption by the State Forester or after return to the County, will be eligible for
payment by the EFF, without express prior approval of the State Forester.
VI. FIRE CAUSE DETERMINATION
A. As a condition precedent to entering into this Agreement, and to eligibility for
continuing participation in the EFF throughout the term hereof, the County agrees that, in the
event of a human - caused fire, the Sheriff of said County shall conduct an investigation as to
cause of such fire and will provide the State Forester a copy of the preliminary investigation
report within 30 days of control of the fire, and a final report upon the conclusion of that
investigation consistent with State Law. The County Sheriff shall have administrative and
financial responsibility with respect to the conduct of the investigation.
2011 Guidelines for
Emergency Fire Fund
Fiscal Section of Operating Guidelines
EFF Fire Business & Administration Operating Guidelines
Th`s document r i
p ov des guidance for incident business and administration activities on
Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) fires. These
guidelines are provided as direction to incident business personnel, Incident Management
Teams (IMTs), and other incident support organizations. CSFS follows ICS organization,
Wildland Fire Qualification System Guide (PMS 310 -1) for qualifications and business
management processes identified in the Interagency Incident Business Management
Handbook (IIBMH). CSFS supports the use of I -Suite programs to facilitate incident
business operations, planning and organization activities, pay documents, and cost
est ates. Additional information is contained in this document and in the IIBMH Rocky
M ntain/Great Basin supplement to Chapter 50. Deviation from these referenced
do ents and this guideline will be negotiated with the Line Officer /Agency
Administrator (LO /AA) or an Incident Business Advisor (IBA) prior to the use of a
different procedure or guideline.
Incident Business Advisor (IBA)
An IBA may be assigned on state fires and acts as a liaison between the LO /AA and
assigned IMT. The IBA will make visits to any established incident command post,
staging area, expanded dispatch, buying units, and other incident support centers to
facilitate communication and successful incident business practices. Technical specialists
will accompany the IBA to assist in specific areas of concern. For example, the CSFS
Financial Manager and/or Purchasing personnel may visit the incident base to discuss
rental agreements for land and equipment.
As minimum, the IBA will establish a daily time for communications with the IMT to
exchange information and to report current progress on incident business management
issues.
In- Briefing/Closeout
The LO /AA and IBA (if assigned) will participate in the team initial briefing and closeout
of each assigned IMT. The IBA and/or other agency personnel will meet with the IMT
Finance, Planning, and Logistics Sections (at a minimum) to discuss expectations and
local protocols and procedures. At the end of the incident, the IBA will provide a written
document, using the standard IBA narrative (attached). The IBA will also receive a
written evaluation from the LO /AA.
The liinal Incident Finance Package (IFP) should meet the standards established in the
IIBMH Chapter 40 and national records management guidelines. The following
addi ional information should be included with Time Unit documentation: include
specific mitigation measures with excess hours documentation. Incident file copies of
CT should be attached to appropriate EFTR OF -288s.
When a cost -share agreement is in place for an incident, a duplicate copy of the IFP will
be prepared for each agency, or as requested by the LO /AAs.
Cost Share
Multi jurisdiction involvement may necessitate implementation of a cost -share agreement
to appropriately distribute incident cost. A copy of the cost -share agreement signed by all
parties should be included in the IFP.
Personnel Timekeeping
All resources are to use ICS forms to report and record time while assigned to the
incident. Travel should be documented on the OF -288. State employees do not receive
hazard pay compensation. The original OF -288 is given to state employees and Colorado
cooperators at the time of demobilization.
Seasonal firefighters may be hired as state hourly employees with CSFS State Office
confirmation at rates consistent with the rates in the current Federal Pay Plan for
Emergency Workers (ADA -ADL). State firefighter classifications are exempt from state
Public Employees Retirement Association withholding. The following Colorado State
University (CSU) payroll forms will be provided by the CSFS State Office or IBA for
hiring firefighters on the incident:
• Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate (W -4)
• Employment Eligibility Verification (I -9)
• CSU Payment Disposition Action (PDA)
• Public Employees' Retirement Association Exemption
• SSA -1945 Social Security Statement
• CSFS #811 Hourly Employee Record
Procurement and Acquisition
Upon arrival at a State Incident, IMT and Buying Team personnel will be provided
information about:
State and local cooperators agreements
Geographic area supplements to the IIBMH
Medical Care and Worker's Compensation Reporting
Local cooperative agreements and operating plans
Purchasing and buying unit procedures
Forms (if different than ICS)
Copies of applicable Colorado Cooperator Resource Rate Forms (CRRF)
Land use agreements
It is not appropriate to hire equipment or services provided by state or local cooperator
employees or relatives.
Ordering Process
Supplies and equipment available through the national fire cache system will be ordered
directly from the Rocky Mountain Cache. Local purchase of supplies is encouraged
where possible using state or local purchasing agents or an assigned Buying Team.
Buying Team Procedures
The LO /AA will determine when a Buying Team will be ordered to replace dispatch
center or local CSFS purchasing personnel. CSFS personnel may be included in the
organization of a Buying Team to facilitate acquisition of local resources, utilizing state
acquisition cards (P- Cards) to make local purchases, depending on current authorizations.
en a Buying Team is assigned, the operating procedures described in the National
Int ragency Buying Team Guide will be followed, along with any applicable Rocky
M untain/Great Basin Geographic Area supplements and state specific requirements.
Th IBA and/or appropriate CSFS representative will consult with the IMT /expanded
dis atch to decide when to release a Buying Team.
Su plemental Foods
CSFS follows the guidelines established in the IIBMH (Chapter 20.25.4 - 3).
Property Management
The CSFS expects IMTs to place a high priority on property management. Included in
this expectation is the need for the Finance and Logistics Sections to review property
issuance (gas, oil, supplies, accountable property) and sign out and return procedures to
ensure accountability. Buying teams are responsible for en suring that accountable
property (non - consumable) which they have purchased is tracked and the information
made available to CSFS for record keeping purposes. On multi jurisdiction incidents,
LO /AAs will jointly determine ownership of such property.
F
If accountable items are not returned by an individual, agency, cooperator, or contractor,
the value of each missing item will be deducted from payment documents.
IMTs will recycle the following items and the IBA or CSFS district office will provide
information on disposal /drop -off locations: paper, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, glass,
batteries.
CS S Payments Process
A r presentative from the CSFS administrative staff may visit the assigned Finance
Section to ensure accuracy of payment processes. A CSFS employee may be assigned to
work in the Finance Section. Payment address for all documents is:
I
Colorado State Forest Service
Fire Division
Building 1049
5060 Campus Delivery
Fort Collins, CO 80523 -5060.
Daily Reporting to CSFS State Office
The IMT will provide daily reporting to the CSFS State Office which will include I -Suite
cost estimate reports, daily Incident Action Plan (IAP) and ICS 209. Remarks on ICS 209
should include current info on acreage breakdown by ownership.
Documents may be faxed to (970) 491 -7736 or emailed to fdocsfs@lamar.colostate.edu_
Information Systems Management
The CSFS will facilitate filling information technology requests. All requests /orders must
be accompanied by a detailed narrative that ties directly to an action in an approved
WFSA or IAP. IMT CTSP personnel must coordinate with CSFS personnel for ordering,
delivery, set up and release of IT resources.
Commissary
CSFS utilizes National Contract commissaries available through the resource ordering
process. Order must be approved by the assigned IBA/CSFS representative. Give
consideration to duration and regional outlook for continued high fire danger when
placing orders for National Contract commissaries. The commissary payroll deduction
process may also be used on a case -by -case basis when individuals have emergency
needs. All Colorado State employees are eligible for commissary by payroll deduction.
Compensation for Injury and Agency - Provided Medical Care (APMC)
The State of Colorado has no authority to establish APMC on state incidents. All
incident - related injuries and illnesses will be handled in accordance with the IIBMH and
the employee's home unit/agency Workers' Compensation procedures. A copy of the
injury/illness log will be provided daily to the IBA or other designated CSFS official.
CSFS /CSU carries Workers' Compensation insurance coverage for all its employees.
The CSU Worker's Compensation Injury Report (copy enclosed) includes Part I and II to
be completed by the employee and Part III which must be completed by the employee's
incident supervisor. All Workers' Compensation claims must be submitted within four (4)
calendar days of injury or illness to:
Name Address
Barbara Berg CSFS, Bldg 1050,
Phone (970) 491 -6303 5060 Campus Delivery
Fax (970) 491 -7736 Fort Collins, CO 80523 -5060
Fire departments and other Colorado cooperators are not covered by CSU Workers'
Compensation. Cooperators using the Cooperator Resource Rate Form (CRRF) provide
Workers' Compensation coverage for all operators and employees included under the
terms of their CRRF. Cooperators experiencing injury or illness while assigned to an
incident should complete their appropriate department forms and notify their home
agency as soon as required of potential Workers' Compensation claims.
IIBMH process and forms may be used in lieu of agency specific forms. Information will
be transferred to appropriate forms at a later date, if necessary.
Law Enforcement
All criminal and accident investigations will be conducted by county, state or federal
criminal and accident investigators and county or federal law enforcement officers.
Claims for loss and damage may be submitted with the Incident Finance Package or sent
directly to CSFS Fire Division for resolution (see payment address on page 3). A copy of
the claim log will be provided daily to the IBA or other CSFS designated official.
C FS - Owned Vehicles and Equipment
en CSFS -owned vehicles and equipment are used on state fires, Emergency
Eq ipment Rental Agreements are not to be used. The CSFS Fire Equipment Rate
schedule provides rates for CSFS resources. Reference the Colorado section of the
Chapter 50 supplement to the IIBMH for current rates. These rates are for CSFS owned
equipment only and not intended for use with equipment that is owned by other parties.
I
Emergency Equipment Shift Tickets (OF -297) and Equipment Use Invoices (OF -286)
should be prepared for these resources and the originals given to state employee /operator
at the time of demobilization.
All rates do not include operators or crew but do include normal maintenance, and
repairs. Times of use are determined by Equipment Shift Ticket records.
Co perator Resources
Eq 'pment provided by city, county and fire departments within the state of Colorado is
co eyed under the Colorado Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement. Each
year, an Annual Operating Plan (AOP) is signed by cooperating agencies within a county.
Each county AOP identifies reimbursement processes within that county and includes
Colorado Cooperator Resource Rate Form (CRRF) identifying local resources available
for incident assignment. When the CRRF has been completed, no other agreement is
needed. Cooperators assigned to a fire without a current valid CRRF will be compensated
based on the current Colorado standard equipment rates and must complete a CRRF for
that incident only. This incident -only CRRF can be signed by the CSFS local district
forester or CSFS representative.
Equipment use will be documented on Emergency Equipment Shift Tickets (OF -297) and
summarized on the Equipment Use Invoice (OF -286). Cooperators assigned as
equipment operators or single resources use the Crew Time Report (OF -261) and
Emergency Firefighter Time Report (OF -288). Original payment documents are given to
the cooperator at the time of demobilization.
Cooperators may utilize commissary by payroll deduction if authorized by their
deportment.
Procurement Unit Leaders may document and recommend action on cooperator
equipment damage requests. CSFS Fire Division staff will make fmal determinations and
approve reimbursement for equipment damaged or replacement.
Refer to the Colorado portion of the Chapter 50 Rocky Mountain/Great Basin Geographic
Area supplement to the IIBMH for additional information.
Personal Vehicles (POV)
Personal vehicles authorized for use by state or cooperator personnel are reimbursed only
for mileage as travel expense. POV mileage should be documented on an Emergency
Equipment Shift Ticket (OF -297). POVs are not to be signed up using an Emergency
Equipment Rental Agreement. Both POVs and agency vehicles should be noted on
original resource orders as authorized at time of dispatch.
FEMA
A State EFF fire may receive a FEMA declaration. The declaration will provide for
partial reimbursement of eligible state costs. Any specific needs because of a FEMA
declaration will be explained by the IBA or LO /AA. Standard incident business processes,
forms and IFP will normally provide all the documentation necessary for the State's
FEMA claim.
National Guard and Department Corrections Crews
National Guard and Department of Corrections resources are both state cooperators under
the Colorado Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement.
National Guard resources are ordered through normal resource ordering. RMACC will
make the appropriate request to the Colorado Division of Emergency Management.
Department of Corrections crews are located at Canon City, Buena Vista, and Rifle.
Orders for these Type 2 crews go through normal resource ordering process. A current
CRRF will be provided to the IMT for cost information.

COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS GUIDELINE
How complex must a situation be in order to qualify for an Incident Management Team?
The following chart should be used as a guideline for deciding the level of incident
management team needed for an incident.
It is designed to help analyze the complexity or predicted complexity of a given fire situation.
Assumptions are:
1. When a fire escapes initial attack, it is automatically considered for an incident
management team. A Type 4, Type 3, Type 2, or a Type 1 team should manage it,
depending on complexity level.
2. As a fire situation becomes more complex, so does the need for a Type 1 team to
handle a predicted Type 1 situation.
Instructions for using this guideline:
1. Carefully analyze each secondary element under the listed primary factors, and check
response column either yes or no.
2. Decisions should be based on the number of yes answers under the primary factors. As
a rule of thumb, if the majority of the seven primary factors have secondary elements
answered with a "yes," the complexity is great enough to warrant a Type I effort. If the
majority of the seven primary factors do not have two or more secondary elements
answered with a "yes," the complexity should remain at the IMG or Type II level.
It should be emphasized that this analysis is based on predictions for the next burning period.
Obviously, if the analysis is on the present situations and one of the primary factors is checked,
a Type 1 situation already exists.
A. SAFETY Yes No
1. Fixed wing and helicopters both involved.
2. More than one fuel type involved.

Fire Operations Guidance in Bark Beetle Stands
Due to altered fuel conditions, personnel operating within the bark beetle environment should be aware
of the imminent danger presented by dead and dying trees, falling at an increasing rate across a broad
forested landscape.
Purpose and Intent
Fire Operations Guidance is mindful of Foundational Fire Suppression Doctrine in the Forest Service.
The first principle is: No resource or facility is worth the loss of human life, however the wildland fire
suppression environment is complex and possesses inherent hazards that can -- -even with reasonable
mitigation - -- result in harm to fire fighters engaged in fire suppression operations. In recognition of this
fact, we are committed to the aggressive management of risk.
This guidance provides a collection of potential hazards unique to bark beetle forests, including
appropriate practices that have evolved over time within the wildland fire service. It does not provide
absolute solutions to the unlimited number of situations that will occur.
This guidance within bark beetle stands was provided with the intention of being used in conjunction
with existing fire risk management documents. No further protocols or rules are necessary to make
informed risk management decisions for fire operations in bark beetle stands.
The following hazard guidance is provided:
Tactical Hazards
• Withdrawal and/or reassessment should be considered if any of the following are present:
o Thunderstorms in the immediate vicinity.
o Wind speeds are strong enough that canopy movement is observed' (Consider that wind
speeds at eye level in sheltered areas may not indicate the much greater winds aloft)
o Reliable communication cannot be established with the appropriate Dispatch Center and
remain in place 24/7 when resources are engaged.
• Due to limited ingress or egress in remote areas or in terrain without vantage points, consider
using an aerial platform for risk assessment and size up.
Potential Fire Behavior Hazards
• Due to increased potential of extreme fire behavior, when ERCs approach the 90th percentile,
air reconnaissance should be on scene within 1 hour of detection.
• The following situations, though possible on any wildfire, may be accentuated in bark beetle
stands:
o Accelerated transition to crown fire (when needles are present)
o Increased rate of spread (Surface fire)
o Resistance to control (Heavy dead and down)
o Frequent spotting, including long range ( >.25 miles)

Wildfire Emergency Response Fund
(WERE)
Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (WERF)
2012 Guidelines
The Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (ReE Colorado State Statue CRS 23 -31 -309) was
created to assist local jurisdictions with initial attack wildland fire response on state and private
lands within the state of Colorado. Any County Sheriff, municipal fire department, or fire
protection district within Colorado may request WERF as the official Requesting Agency.
WERF will reimburse, if funds are available, the Requesting Agency the cost of eligible wildland
firefighting resources.
ELIGIBLE FOR WERF
Both an aerial resource and a hand crew on the same incident.
1st hour of firefighting helicopter rotor time + pilot time
OR
AERIAL RESOURCES lsc aerial tanker flight + drop + retardant
AMD- carded & USFS- carded pilots, if federal resources involved
One hand crew for up to two operational periods, beginning from time of
HAND CREW departure to fire. Preference for State inmate crews.
Type 1, Type 2 Initial Attack, or Type 2 NWCG - qualified crews
There are often additional costs associated with the use of aircraft and hand crews.
NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WERF
Fixed wing aircraft reimbursement does not include lead plane or aerial
observer aircraft.
Additional helicopter personnel (helicopter crew)
AERIAL RESOURCES Ferry time/flight time to bring aerial resource to Colorado
Fuel truck
Chase truck
Two hand crews for one operational period
HAND CREW Travel time to bring hand crew from outside Colorado
Crew logistics of lodging, camping, and per diem
Consult the County Annual Operating Plan for the local, state, and federal dispatch procedures to
order WERF resources. The Requesting Agency must notify the local Colorado State Forest
Service (CSFS) District of each WERF request. The CSFS District will within 72 hours email
the CSFS Fire Division at firebill(&,colostate.edu who requested (sheriff, fire chief, etc.), fire
name, resource name, and date of use. Since the CSFS has been tasked by the Colorado State
Legislature to administer and manage this fund, it is critical that CSFS receives notification of
any and all WERF requests to maintain an accurate balance of the fund.

Incident Commanders are encouraged to contact the appropriate Interagency Dispatch Center
directly with their request for aviation resources. Prior to making that request the following
information should be collected. This information will help facilitate a faster response. In order to

CSFS Duty Officer Notified
Things to consider when considering aviation resources:
1. Lead plane and aerial observer (air attack) are not covered under WERF. See WERF guidelines for
aviation information.
2. Wind decreases aircraft capabilities and effectiveness. If a fire is burning actively because of high winds it
is unlikely that aviation resources will be of much value. The maximum winds that fire aviation resources
can operate in are between 20 and 30 knots.
3. Fire aircraft do not operate on fires after dark. Some aircraft have to be on the ground one half hour after
sunset. Check to local time and make sure that there is enough daylight to fly the mission.
4. Pick the right aircraft for the mission. A helicopter with a bucket can do a lot of good if there is a good
water source available. Helicopters are restricted from flying with buckets over major highways or
congested areas. Single and multiple engine air tankers are better for more remote areas and areas with
over - flight of roads or communities.
5. Air tankers cannot drop retardant near open water. Retardant is highly toxic to fish even in low
concentrations. If your mission is near a river, creek, lake or ponds consider asking the aircraft to be
loaded with water.
6. Our goal is to get everyone operational on the designated Air /Ground frequencies. There are a few times
when this may not be the case due to frequency changes or congestion. If, you do not have the capability
of communicating with an aircraft on one of the designated air /ground frequencies, you will need to let
dispatch know what actual frequency you will be on. Terms like "Channel 3" or "Fire B" have no meaning
to pilots. Instead of saying "TAC 2" you would say "154.295 ". It is highly advisable to have a dedicated
Air /Ground frequency anytime that aircraft are used. Trying to combine tactical and aviation traffic on the
same frequency leads to congestion and confusion.
7. Aircraft are very expensive to operate. If you have ordered an aircraft consider having one person whose
sole responsibility is to monitor that air to ground frequency and avoid the delay and expense associated
with problems with initial contact.
8. Telephone lines and other aviation hazards are difficult to see from the air. Advise the aircraft of these or
other aviation hazards in the fire area.
9. The ground contact is responsible for making sure that the drop area is clear of personnel and equipment.
It is difficult for fixed wing aircraft to see much detail on the ground and the pilots will rely on you to ensure
that the drop zone is clear. The pilot will usually ask "Is the line clear ?" If you tell him "The line is clear." he
will make the drop based on your call.
10. After a drop provide feedback to the pilot concerning its accuracy and effectiveness. Also let the pilot know
if you want any additional drops or if they should hold.

Exhibit G
Cost Sharing
ITEMS TO CONSIDER WHEN NEGOTIATING A COST SHARE AGREEMENT
Negotiating cost share agreements within the State of Colorado has been delegated to the
respective unit administrators in the Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement.
County officials must also be included. Cost share agreements are to be documented, including
the basis or rationale used. The following guidelines should be considered when negotiating a
cost share agreement. These are intended to help field personnel in negotiating an equitable
agreement and are not intended to be mandatory.
Unit Administrator (Line Officer): the individual assigned administrative responsibilities for
an established organizational unit, such as Forest Supervisors or District Rangers (USFS), District
or Area Manager (BLM), Area Forester or State Forester Designate (State), Regional Director or
Refuge Manager (USFWS), Park Superintendent (NPS), and Agency Superintendent (BIA), and
may include a County commissioner at the local level.
General Guidelines:
1. Agency budgeted costs normally are not shared.
2. Responsibility for claims is considered to be outside the scope of the cost share agreement.
3. Rehabilitation costs other than on the fireline are the responsibility of the jurisdictional Agency.
4. All cost share negotiations should include consideration to each Agency's values at risk and
resources assigned.
5. Cost share agreements should normally be reviewed at the end of each burning period and
documented with review date and time.
Method 1: Cost can be shared proportionately based upon the acreage burned.
Method 2: Costs between the Agencies can be based on a summary of daily estimated incident
costs and each Agency's proportionate share thereof. If this method is used, daily cost sharing
should be properly documented by the Incident Commander. Aircraft and retardant should be on
an actual use basis.
Method 3: Costs can be shared based upon direct fireline resources assigned basis. Aviation
resources, retardant, etc. should be on an actual use basis. Indirect costs are then shared
proportional to direct costs. This is the most equitable method and should be utilized on incidents
when a Type I team is assigned.
Definitions:
Direct Costs: All costs associated with direct fireline/fireground and operations including
aircraft, except airtankers and their retardant, and incident support ordered by or for the incident
prior to completion of the cost share agreement. Airtanker costs and associated retardant costs
are direct costs but normally are calculated at a separate cost share rate.
Facilities and Administrative Costs (Indirect Costs):
Costs that are incurred for common or joint objectives and therefore cannot be identified readily
and specifically with a particular sponsored project, and instructional activity, or any other
institutional activity. These costs may include office support personnel ,mobilization /demobilization
centers, dispatching, airbase operations, transportation from home base to camp, and minor or
major equipment repairs to incident - assigned and damaged equipment (except those costs
included in equipment rental rates). Facilities and administrative costs can be shared
proportionately with direct costs except where identified to be shared differently in the cost share
agreement.

(CRRF) is the basis for the reimbursement process. CRRFs have been completed prior
to the fire season as part of county Annual Operating Plans. All current CRRFs are
effective from date of signature through April 30, 2014.
Departments must have an approved CRRF to be available in ROSS for out of local
area dispatch. Resources assigned to a state EFF fire from a department without a
current CRRF will be reimbursed using current standard state cooperator equipment
rates. Cooperator equipment should not be signed up using an Emergency Equipment
Rental Agreement (EERA).
Additional information regarding Colorado cooperators can be found in the current
Rocky Mountain /Great Basin geographic area supplement to Chapter 50 of the
Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook (I IBMH).
Standard CSFS reimbursement forms have been developed to facilitate prompt
completion and review of expense documentation. Utilization of these forms will help
CSFS provide prompt payment of reimbursement requests. All current forms for 2012
are attached. Copies of these guidelines and current standard reimbursement forms are
posted on the CSFS website: http: / /csfs.colostate.edu /pages /firecooperatorforms.html .
Any expense reimbursed to the department by CSFS but disallowed by the incident
agency payment office may be billed back to the cooperator by CSFS. Mutual aid time
and expense should be identified in the documentation submitted to CSFS but not
included in the total requested for reimbursement.
Resource order documentation is required for incident reimbursement. A resource order
with completed "fill" information (not "pending ") should be requested from the dispatch
center prior to beginning travel to the first incident. Request copies of resource orders
for subsequent incidents, but the initial resource order can be used for all incidents
during a single mobilization. Provide explanation if no resource order is submitted.
Reimbursement for personnel and equipment time will be based on all properly
documented on -shift time (i.e., work, travel and ordered standby). No portal to portal
reimbursements will be approved, without specific incident documentation. If the
incident authorizes and documents a period of 24 -hour pay status, the department may
be reimbursed for that expense.

C. Equipment Operators and Single Resource Personnel
Cooperators will be reimbursed for personnel payroll expenses incurred for payments to
employees when assigned to incidents. Reimbursement to the cooperator for full- or
part-time employees will be at current department pay rates.
Pay rates for personnel paid on an incident -only basis (volunteers and supplemental
resources) will be reimbursed based on the assigned position at the rate identified in the
Supplemental Resource Classification Level Matrix, unless otherwise determined by
Fire Division review. Rates are based on each incident assignment, not the highest
qualification of an individual. See Section D and Attachment 1 for current supplemental
resource payrate details.
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 3
When billing for personnel time, cooperators will identify payrates as well as base and
overtime /premium hours for each day of assignment on an incident. The CSFS
Individual Salary Breakdown form (attachment 5) should be used unless an alternate
format has been approved by Fire Division incident business staff. The Personnel
Resource Listing form should be included with the first invoice submitted for the
Galen Jar year if not already submitted to CSFS Fire Division for 2012.
Remember that work/rest guidelines (1 hour rest for each 2 hours work) apply to travel
time and driving regulations limit an individual's driving time to 10 hours per day.
Cooperators should request the original copy of the Emergency Firefighter Time Report
(OF -288) when demobing from an incident. The form should be signed by both the
individual and the incident. Do not provide an employee's social security number for
incident documentation. Provide explanation if original documents are not received from
the inddent agency.
The original Crew Time Reports (SF -261) will be retained by the incident; they are not
requirsd to be submitted with OF -288 for reimbursement. Employees should retain the
yellow CTR copies. Remember, an individual should not sign the CTR or OF -288 to
authorize their own time worked.
Do not make changes to OF -288s after the document has been reviewed and signed by
incident finance personnel. Exception: travel time may be filled in when left open by
incident personnel when being released from the incident.
If return travel time is estimated and recorded on the OF -288 at the incident prior to
demobilization, a CTR with actual return travel time should be included with
reimbursement request. Meal breaks should be shown during travel.
If an error is discovered on the OF -288, include a copy of the appropriate CTR with an
explanation of correction(s) needed with reimbursement documentation. CSFS Fire
Division staff will review and document the requested correction.
Time spent by crew member(s) to rehab engines or tenders upon return from the
incident may be included in the reimbursement request. A maximum of four (4) hours
may be reimbursed if needed for equipment rehab after an incident assignment. The
personnel expense should be identified separately at the applicable hourly rate. A
rehab /maintenance factor has already been included in the standard state cooperator
equipment rates, so no additional equipment time will be reimbursed.
Acceptable full -time personnel costs for reimbursement may include:
a. Salary as direct compensation to personnel, for both regular and
overtime /premium pay.
b. Salary for backfill employees needed to cover for full time employees who
are on an incident assignment.
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 4
c. Benefits, including health, life & disability; unemployment; Medicare;
workers compensation insurance; retirement, and sick leave.
The cooperator may hire incident - only /supplemental resource personnel for incident
assignments and will be reimbursed at the approprial:e payrate for the ICS position as
assigned on each mobilization. Benefits charged should include workers compensation,
as well as overtime, health, life, and disability, if provided to the employee. (See Section
D for additional information.)
When the OF -288s and OF -286s are not completed by the incident agency, time
worked on local assignments may be documented with signed CTRs and Equipment
Shift Tickets (STs) only. The original CTRs and STs must be submitted to CSFS for
reimbursement. If a portion of the time documented is for mutual aid, no reimbursement
for that expense should be requested.
Expenses for training, operating, PPE, annual physicals, etc., for department personnel
are not considered direct employee compensation and will not be reimbursed.
Cooperators must submit an annual Personnel Resource List (attachment 2) to CSFS
prior to any request for reimbursement but no later than April 1 each year. Periodic
documentation reviews by CSFS Fire Division staff may be done as needed.
D. Supplemental Resource Guidelines
There are situations when additional support personnel are necessary for national
mobilization and the need can be filled by supplemental personnel available to the
department. When this situation arises, resources will be mobilized via the process
outlined here and documented with the current CSFS Cooperator Resource Rate Form
(CRRF) component of the state Annual Operating Plan (AOP) and in each county AOP.
When mobilizing Supplemental Fire Department Resources outside of the fire district or
mutual aid zone, the following will apply, based on NWCG #004 -2009 dated 2/6/09. For
purposes of this exhibit, the following definition of Supplemental Fire Department
Resources will apply:
"Supplemental Fire Department Resources - Overhead tied to a local fire
department generally by agreement who are mobilized primarily for response to
incidents /wildland fires outside of their district or mutual aid zone. They are not a
permanent part of the local fire organization and are not required to attend
scheduled training, meetings, etc. of the department staff."
While on assignment, these individuals are department employees and the department
will be reimbursed for their actual costs as defined in this document.
D.1. Mobilization
Mobilization will follow established ordering procedures as identified in the
National, Geographic, and Local Mobilization Guides. Resources will be
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 5
mobilized by the Host Dispatch Zone in which the department is located.
Personnel will be provided a copy of the resource order request after
confirmation of availability and prior to departure from their home jurisdiction.
Resource orders shall clearly indicate incident assignment, incident location,
expected incident arrival time, and any additional special needs or equipment
authorizations, e.g. cell phones, laptops, rental vehicles, etc.
D.2. Reimbursable Costs
Reimbursable costs for personnel include compensation rates for hours worked,
benefits, transportation, and per diem. It is the intent of this provision that the
Supplemental Fire Department Resource be paid a regular compensation rate for
all hours worked plus an overtime compensation rate for actual overtime hours
worked, including travel. Reimbursable costs shall not include portal to portal pay
or the employee portion of benefits. Travel and per diem reimbursements will be
based on the Federal Travel Regulations.
Backfill is not reimbursable for personnel hired as Supplemental Fire Department
Resources.
An indirect cost allowance equal to ten percent of the direct salary and wage cost
of providing the service (excluding overtime, shift premiums, and fringe benefits)
is allowed. (OMB Circular A -87)
D.3. Personnel Qualifications
All personnel will possess an active Incident Qualification System Incident
Qualification Card commensurate with all current and applicable NWCG 310 -1
standards for training and qualifications. Personnel will be qualified for their
assigned positions. Each department is responsible for annually certifying and
maintaining the qualifications of their Supplemental Fire Department Resources.
Each department will bear the cost of training for their Supplemental Fire
Department Resources.
Any personnel to be mobilized under this exhibit will be listed on Personnel
Resource List form (Attachment 2) in the by name, position(s), and identified as a
single resource. This Attachment 2 will be maintained with CRRFs by the CSFS
Fire Division at the CSFS State Office. While on assignment, these individuals
are department employees and each department will be reimbursed for their
actual costs as defined in this appendix.
D.4. Rate Determination
The basis for the computation of base hourly rate is the classification level of the
position filled according to the Supplemental Resource Classification Level Matrix
(attachment 1). Base hourly rate shall be no more than step 5 of the appropriate
GS wage adjusted for locality pay at the location of the fire district. These rates
can be found on the OPM web site htfp: / /www.opm.gov, Salaries and Wages.
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 6
Personnel are hired at the rate of the position being filled, not their highest
qualification.
The hourly compensation rates identified in the AOP are computed as follows:
1) Regular Compensation Rate: The rates listed include base hourly rate
determined above plus employee benefits. Ernployee benefits include those
costs actually incurred by the department for the employment of these
individuals, such as employer liability, workers compensation, employer share of
social security, etc.
2) Overtime Compensation Rate: Overtime compensation rates are paid based
on a 7 day work week beginning on day one of mobilization. Compensation rates
are paid at time and a half of the base hourly rate for all hours worked in excess
of 8 hours per day for the first 5 days and full time and one half for all hours
worked during the remainder of the work week. Compensation includes travel
time.
3) Hazard Pay Rate: While the NWCG direction provides for hazard pay
premium compensation, as the sponsoring agency, CSFS's standard business
practices do not include hazard pay for state employees or cooperators.
Therefore, hazard pay will not be afforded to supplemental resources.
D.5. Days off at Incident
Days off at the incident will be paid for 8 hours. Work/rest guidelines will be
followed, and mandatory days off will follow current guidelines (IIBMH 12.7 -2 #4).
Once travel to the home unit commences, days off will not be paid.
D.6. Transportation and Per Diem
Per diem reimbursements will be based on the Federal Travel Regulations. The
payment rate for privately -owned vehicles (POVs) used to support Supplemental
Fire Department Resources shall be at the current Federal Travel Regulation
rate.
E. Days Off and Assignment Extensions
All personnel should be prepared for 14 days on an assignment, unless released earlier
by the incident and not reassigned. Departments should not rotate personnel prior to
the end of the 14 -day assignment, except in emergency situations. Crew swaps will be
coordinated through the incident agency and the interagency dispatch system. Any
department replacement earlier than requested by the incident agency will be at the
department's expense and not reimbursed.
The incident may request to keep resources longer than 14 days. Assignment Extension
procedures as defined in the IIBMH will be followed. Crew rotations may be requested
by incidents and will be coordinated, processed and paid for through the incident
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 7
agency dispatch process. The cost of crew rotation/swaps at the request of the incident
will be reimbursed to the cooperator.
Personnel are entitled to two (2) days off following return from a 14 -day assignment
(exclusive of travel), according to current IIBMH guidelines (Chapter 10, Section 12.7-
2):
"Day 1" occurs on the "first full operational period at the first incident or
reporting location..."
The department may be reimbursed for expense of paid days off for full -time personnel
provided day(s) off are regular work days and occur on the day(s) immediately following
return travel. If days off are provided during the assignment and occur on the
employee's regular work days, department expense will be reimbursed.
If day:, off (either at the incident or after return) occur on an employee's regular day off,
no salary expense will be reimbursed.
Supplemental resources and volunteers will be compensated for 8 hours on days off at
the incident, but are not entitled to paid days off after return from an incident.
Equipment is not entitled to the daily guarantee on days off when given at the incident.
F. Travel Expenses
Travel expenses will be reimbursed to the cooperator for eligible expenses paid to their
employees. Standard CSFS travel summary form (attachment 6), identifying overnight
locations and applicable per diem rate(s), should be included with request for
reimbursement.
Per diem will be reimbursed only for meals provided during travel to and from an
incident. Meal receipts are not needed for per diem reimbursement. bu sement. Stan r d
p Standard
Continental US (CONUS) per diem rates, based on overnight location, will be the
maximum reimbursed. Specific per diem rates can be found at www.qsa.gov. Include
copy of per diem rate documentation used to determine daily rate(s).
Reimbursement for meals or lodging should not be claimed when assigned to an
incident base where food and sleeping location typically is provided. Provide an
explanation or IMT documentation when asked to provide own meals and /or lodging
during the incident.
Deductions may be made if invoice documentation does not support return travel time
claimed.
Itemized receipts are required for lodging and other miscellaneous expenses. Credit
card receipts alone are not acceptable documentation for reimbursement. Personal
items such as ice, pop, coffee, snacks, postcards, film, etc., purchased are typically not
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 8
reimbursable. When cost of overnight lodging is claimed, additional add -on room
expenses (movies, personal phone calls, laundry, etc.) are not reimbursable.
Airline bag charges will be reimbursed with appropriate receipts. Typically, overweight
and oversized baggage fees for commercial flights will not be reimbursed by CSFS,
unless the traveler has specific resource order authorization for these additional
charges. (See National Interagency Mobilization Guide, Chapter 10 for current weight
allowances and exceptions.) In addition, airline seat upgrade fees are not a
reimbursable expense.
Use of an employee's privately owned vehicle (POV) for travel to an incident should be
authorized by the ordering dispatch center at the time of dispatch, and noted on the
resource order. Personal vehicles are reimbursed the current mileage rate (see GSA
website above) as a travel expense. An Emergency Equipment Shift Ticket (OF -297),
signed by the incident supervisor, should be completed with odometer readings to
document POV use on the incident. Include documentation of start and stop locations
for mileage reimbursement. Privately owned vehicles should not be signed up on a
CRRF or EERA.
It is recommended that employees consult their insurance company to confirm
appropriate coverage for business use of personal vehicles, even for travel to and from
an incident. When an individual is compensated for POV mileage, any damage that
occurs during that assignment will not be reimbursed.
Minimize the cost of airport parking whenever possible. Use long term parking instead
of higher cost, close parking. POV mileage reimbursement for round trip both to and
from airports is acceptable in place of airport parking. Document both odometer
readings and mileage on shift tickets for POV usage.
Expense for a rental vehicle will only be reimbursed when authorized on the original
resource order, or through a support resource order issued by the incident. Fuel
purchased for rental vehicles will be reimbursed with receipt copies.
G. Equipment
When traveling to or from the incident, the Minimum Daily Guarantee for equipment
does not apply on the first or last days. Payment is for the actual hours of travel and
work only.
Engines and tenders being transported to an incident will be reimbursed at the work rate
for the hours being hauled in travel status, not to exceed the Minimum Daily Guarantee.
Engines and tenders driven to an incident is compensated at the established work rate
for all hours of driving.
G.1. Lowboy Transportation
For incident destinations beyond 300 miles from the cooperator's home unit,
transportation by lowboy is preferred for Type 1, 2, 3, and 4 engines. Other engines
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 9
and tenders may be transported on a case -by -case basis. Contact CSFS Fire Duty
Officer or Incident Business Specialist for further information.
Department should request lowboy transportation from dispatch center as needed
when accepting engine or tender assignment. If lowboy is not available through
ROSS, request transport authorization on the resource order and arrangements for
transport may be made by the department. Transport should be released when
equipment has been delivered to the incident. Return transportation should be
arranged by the incident when equipment is released. Copy of paid receipt for
lowboy transport to the incident must be included with reimbursement.
If lowboy transportation for engines and tenders is not available to the incident, an
additional special rate of $1.00 /mile will be allowed for driving distances over 300
miles. In addition to hours driven, the odometer readings (to nearest whole mile)
should be recorded on Shift Tickets to document total miles driven. Mileage
reimbursement does not apply when traveling on or between incidents during the
sarne mobilization. If mileage information is not tracked to the incident, a printout of
map mileage documentation from home unit to incident may be provided for
reimbursement.
Normally, the cost of a chase vehicle will not be charged to an incident, unless
authorized by the dispatch center and benefiting agency on the resource order.
G.2. Inspections
If equipment is inspected prior to leaving for an incident and does not pass
inspection, the equipment will not be sent to the incident. Local interagency dispatch
center will be notified of failure to pass inspection.
Equipment that does not pass a pre -use inspection performed by the benefiting
agency after arriving at an incident may be rejected and the cooperator may not be
compensated. At the option of the benefiting agency, the cooperator may be given a
specified time to complete needed repairs, at cooperator's own expense. If the
equipment cannot be repaired to pre -use inspection standards, the equipment and
associated personnel will be released and the cooperator may not be compensated
for any time (personnel or equipment) or expense incurred.
No additional use charges will be reimbursed for tools and equipment listed on engine
inventory listing.
Specialized items may be reimbursed separately if ordered and tracked by the incident.
No travel days will be reimbursed for these items (e.g., ATVs, pumps, chainsaws, etc.)
Normally, cooperators will not be reimbursed for equipment staffing exceeding Rocky
Mountain Area standards, unless requested and approved by the incident on the
resource order.
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 10
Equipment assigned to a state EFF fire but not listed on an approved CRRF will be
reimbursed at the current standard state cooperator rates. A CSFS representative will
assist incident personnel to complete a CRRF.
Original Emergency Equipment Use Invoice (OF -286) and pink copies of Equipment
Shift Tickets (OF -297) should accompany request for reimbursement. All documents
should be signed by both the cooperator and incident personnel. If the incident does
not prepare an Emergency Equipment Use Invoice, the pink copies of all Shift Tickets
are required for reimbursement.
If equipment is not available on an incident due to breakdown or mechanical difficulty,
the daily guarantee will apply on the day of breakdown. Equipment will be paid for
actual hours on -shift or the guarantee, whichever is greater. No reimbursement will be
made for any additional days while out of service. Crew personnel are entitled to the
daily guarantee on days when equipment is out of service.
If return travel time is estimated at the incident prior to demobilization, a Shift Ticket with
actual travel time should be included with reimbursement request.
Department vehicles will be reimbursed at the standard state daily rate. Mileage will not
be charged as actual fuel expense is eligible for reimbursement.
Up to four (4) hours of personnel time will be allowed for crew members to rehab
equipment after return from an assignment. No additional equipment time will be
reimbursed.
G.3. FEPP Engine Use
When a cooperator takes a CSFS- assigned FEPP (yellow) engine to a reimbursable
incident, CSFS will reimburse the cooperator $50 per day for department owned tools
on the engine when included on the invoice. This daily charge will not be an
additional expense to the incident, but will be paid out of the CSFS use rate charged
to the incident. Original pink Shift Tickets and original Equipment Use Invoices for
these engines must be provided to the CSFS Fire Division for appropriate billing to
the incident.
G.4. State -owned Engine Use
When the cooperator staffs a CSFS -owned (white) engine, they will be reimbursed for
the department personnel that operate the engine. There is no $50 per day
allowance for these state engines. Original pink Shift Tickets and original Equipment
Use Invoices for these engines must be provided to the CSFS Fire Division
appropriate billing to the incident.
H. Fuel Expense
Fuel costs incurred during the incident assignment will be reimbursed based on copies
of fuel receipts. Fuel Summary form (attachment 9) should be completed to record
expense and submitted with copies of receipts.
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 11
If receipts are lost or illegible, a copy of a credit card statement showing transaction(s)
will be acceptable documentation for reimbursement.
I. Requests for Damaged or Lost Equipment
All requests for reimbursement of lost or damaged department equipment must be
properly reported and documented at the incident. An estimate of damage replacement
or repair may be made at the incident, but this estimate or reimbursement allowance
does not guarantee approval of reimbursement and will not be used as sole
documentation for resolution. If a finance position is not staffed at the incident, the
reimbursement request documentation should be provided to the Incident Commander
or local agency FMO or IBA.
Use a separate Cooperator Incident Assignment Invoice form (attachment 3) and the
Miscellaneous Expense Summary (attachment 10) to request reimbursement for Toss of
or damage to department equipment. Incident report and authorization documentation,
copy of resource order and copy of invoice for actual expense must accompany all
requests for actual replacement or repair expense. Reimbursement payment
determination will be made by CSFS Fire Division staff.
Replacement of tires and windshields will generally not be reimbursed by the incident.
Requests for damage that appear to be outside of "normal wear and tear" should be
properly documented at the incident.
Some lost or damaged cooperator equipment may be replaced by the incident through
the Supply Unit. If the item(s) cannot be replaced at the incident, the Supply Unit may
issue ai Incident Replacement Requisition or resource order for replacement after
return to home unit. A copy of this documentation, along with actual paid invoice copies
for items replaced, must be included with all reimbursement requests. Replacement of
non - standard cache items may not be authorized for charging to incident. If not
documented and authorized by incident agency, CSFS may not reimburse department
expense.
Any items covered by department insurance should be deducted from request for
reimbursement against the incident. Reimbursement request should be for expense not
covered by insurance.
J. Miscellaneous Expenses
Additional miscellaneous expenses associated with an incident assignment may be
reimbursed. The expenditure must be directly related to the incident and expense
approved by the incident via resource order. A copy of the paid invoice and
corresponding resource order must accompany reimbursement request for each
expense.
Actual department administrative expense for invoice documentation preparation may
be added to cooperator billing invoices. Charges for personnel costs should be
2012 Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines
12
identified by number of hours and hourly rate and shown on the Miscellaneous
Summary form (attachment 10).
CeII phone reimbursement will be the exception and use must be authorized either on
the resource order at time of dispatch, or with an S- number resource order assigned
from the incident. The resource order provides authorization to use the phone only for
incident purposes. Without appropriate authorization, the cooperator will not be
reimbursed. Additional expense for cell phone calls directly related to the incident during
the period of assignment may be claimed. Calls made to the home unit for purposes of
department business are not reimbursable. Costs eligible for reimbursement are limited
to actual additional airtime and toll charges during an incident period, but not a
percentage of the monthly service plan. A copy of the cell phone detail billing and
resource order must be included with the reimbursernent request with the calls
appropriately identified for the incident.
Position- specific kits and personal equipment will not be reimbursed at a daily rate but
may be covered by reimbursement for Toss, repair or one -time cleaning/rehab charge.
Authorized use on the incident, and any additional expense reimbursement, must be
documented on the resource order.
K. Reimbursement Documentation and Process
Documentation for prompt reimbursement to the department includes a signed
Cooperator Incident Assignment Invoice (attachment 3) for each incident, all original
incident payment documents and any additional supporting receipts and documentation
for expense being claimed. Supplying the proper documentation will facilitate prompt
payment of claimed expenses to the cooperator.
Deductions should be shown for mutual aid time when applicable and no
reimbursement requested for that expense.
If additional expense does not get included with an invoice already submitted, please
put additional expense on a new /second invoice. Do not submit a new invoice with the
revised total expense, but note that new invoice includes expense not originally
submitted.
Reimbursement requests with complete supporting documentation should be submitted
to the CSFS Fire Division within 30 days after return from an incident. Send all
documentation to: CSFS Fire Division, Bldg 1049, 5060 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins,
CO 80523 -5060.
Confirmation of invoice receipt will be sent to department contact, if email address is
provided on checklist. Payment requests are processed on a "first come, first served"
basis. Copies of invoice adjustments will be faxed or emailed to cooperators, if email
address is provided. Check requests are submitted to CSU for processing. CSU checks
are usually issued twice weekly. Departments may make electronic transfer
arrangements by contacting CSU Accounts Payable (970 -491- 7113).
