  • Water Tender and Engine Typing NWCG/NIMS/FIRESCOPE Changes November 2012
    FIRESCOPE Task Force January 1, 2013 TO: California Fire Service CHARLES BUTLER, Chair Battalion Chief Los Angeles FD FROM: Kim Zagaris, Chief/California Emergency Management Agency, KIRK WELLS, Vice- Chair Battalion Chief, Orange Executive Coordinator/FIRESCOPE County Fire Authority BRAD DARBRO, Secretary RE: NWCG and NIMS Equipment Typing Changes Battalion Chief, Santa Clara County FD STEVE WINTER On June 5, 2008, the National Wildland Coordinating Group distributed a memorandum, detailing changes Battalion Chief Ventura County FD adopted to the national standards for the typing of engines and water tenders. This information was widely distributed to the California fire service, through the Regional and Area coordinators to ensure that the MIKE LOCOCO changes were universally known. Assistant Chief, Cal EMA, Fire and Rescue Branch Subsequent to this, it was determined by FIRESCOPE during the actions to revise the FIRESCOPE Field WOODY ENOS Division Chief, Santa Barbara Operations Guide (FOG), ICS 420-1, that some differences were noted to the ability of water tenders in County FD California to meet these standards. During several review sessions by the FIRESCOPE Task Force, DAVE STONE meetings of the Operations Team, and meetings of the Board of Directors, these differences were identified Assistant Chief, Los Angeles and noted by footnoted asterisk in the equipment typing charts within Chapter 13 of the 2012 FOG Guide. County FD SEAN FRALEY The decision by NWCG to split the typing of water tenders into Tactical and Support categories is based on Battalion Chief a sound rationale and further helps to define their roles between tactical/line functions and non- Kern County FD tactical/support functions.

  • Commonly Used Fire Terminology.Pdf
    - Commonly Used Fire Department Terminology - Air Attack: Fixed-wing aircraft that directs air tanker drops on a wildland fire. The air attack orbits above all air tankers and copters and serves as an “eye in the sky” over the incident. The air attack includes the pilot and the air attack supervisor and communicates directly with the ground Incident Commander and other aircraft assigned to the incident; including media helicopters. Air Tanker: Fire retardant-dropping, fixed-wing aircraft. Air tankers are “typed” similar to engines, based upon the needs of the incident and capability. Backfire: A fire set along the inner edge of a fire line to consume the fuel in the path of a wildfire or change the direction of force of the fire's convection column Battalion: A geographic area consisting of one or more stations supervised by a Battalion Chief. Brush Engine: A mobile piece of fire equipment which carries hose, water and a pump, and is specially designed for off road wildland firefighting. CAD: Computer Aided Dispatch System. Used by Public Safety Communications Officers in the Emergency Command Center. This automated system verifies address information, recommends units to respond based upon the “closest resource concept”, time-stamps all activities tied to the incident (report time, response and on-scene time and other timekeeping functions). Contained: The status of a wildfire suppression action signifying that a control line has been completed around the fire, and any associated spot fires, which can reasonably be expected to stop the fire’s spread. Controlled: The completion of control line around a fire, any spot fires therefrom, and any interior islands to be saved; burned out any unburned area adjacent to the fire side of the control lines; and cool down all hot spots that are immediate threats to the control line, until the lines can reasonably be expected to hold under the foreseeable conditions.

  • WOW Operations Are They Tankers Or Tenders?
    Slide 1 Rural Fire Command by Larry Davis Issue #36 — December 2005 WOWWOW OperationsOperations AreAre theythey tankerstankers oror tenders?tenders? 1 Rural Fire Command — December 2005 — by Larry Davis Slide 2 Training America’s Rural Fire & Emergency Responders AA MessageMessage thethe Author,Author, LarryLarry DavisDavis In October 2002, I started writing the monthly “Rural Fire Command” column for FireRescue Magazine. Since that time, the RFC column has been carried in just about every subsequent issue of the magazine. As time has passed, several readers have contacted me about obtaining back issues of the column. Some expressed an interest in acquiring the articles in Powerpoint format for use in training programs. This led to, my adaptation of the RFC columns to the PowerPoint format. These PowerPoint programs are being made available through the combined efforts of FireRescue Magazine and the Rural Firefighting Institute. 2 Rural Fire Command — December 2005 — by Larry Davis Slide 3 WOWWOW OperationsOperations AreAre theythey tankerstankers oror tenderstenders If there’s one fire-service operation that separates rural firefighting from urban firefighting, it’s the water-on-wheels (WOW) operation, which utilizes various types of tank vehicles to haul the wet stuff to the red stuff. Firefighters who don’t use WOW ops on a day-to-day basis may think they’re haphazard at best and no match for a municipal water system with those funny looking spigots (called “fire hydrants”) attached. However, firefighters—rural or suburban—who routinely use WOW ops know they often provide higher delivery rates than many hydrant systems. Over the years, I’ve witnessed numerous occasions in which rural departments that use WOW ops were called in to help our urban brothers and sisters when city water systems failed or when their delivery capability simply gave out during a major incident.
