Western Oregon Operating Plan Exhibit B - Sample Response Plan March 2019
DISTRICT SITUATION:
The Douglas Forest Protective Association employs approximately 125 people during fire season, which normally occurs during the months of June thru October. Employees of the District operate and staff over 50 vehicles, as well as specialized types of equipment that is strategically positioned throughout the District for immediate and efficient fire suppression.
OBJECTIVE:
Fire suppression will take precedence over all other activities while maintaining safety as the highest priority. Every employee will take immediate and aggressive action within the scope of the pre-planned dispatch system on any fire, after being dispatched by headquarters, or having discovered the fire during patrol. The District’s goal is to control 94% of all fires before they exceed 10 acres in size or within 24 hours after discovery.
The District will also maintain a two- (2) hour maximum response time, from the base location to all roaded lands within the District’s response area during fire season. A three- (3) hour maximum response time from base location to all roaded lands within the District’s response area outside of fire season.
DAILY PLANNING:
Review of Fire Danger, Fire Weather, and Resource Readiness Organization.
1. The District dispatch center will review current weather data, fire danger levels, and district unit resource readiness level. From this information, it will determine the level of pre-planned dispatch for the day.
2. The dispatch center will announce via radio, the Medford Fire weather forecast to all district initial attack units daily. The dispatcher will also announce the pre-planned dispatch levels for the day and any changes to the current fire danger.
3. At the start of every morning, each units will update the online database “DFPA Daily Resource Guide” with staffing information for that day. Information included on this form includes staff personnel and planned location for each engine that particular day.
Page 1 of 26 INITIAL ATTACK PLANNING AND FIRE ACTION:
Outside of Fire Season
Initial attack capabilities will remain in accordance with fire danger, wildfire risk, and fire occurrence. At a minimum, district initial attack forces will be maintained between the hours of 0800 and 1700 five days per week, Monday - Friday. Actual times will be based on expected conditions and or historical fire risk.
During fires that occur after the hours stated above outside fire season, dispatch procedures and notification of district initial attack units and personnel will begin within 60 minutes.
Engine locations will be based on maintaining a three- (3) hour maximum response time, from the base location to all roaded lands within the District response area. Normal initial attack standards outside of fire season are two (2) personnel per engine.
During Fire Season:
Initial attack capabilities will remain in accordance with fire danger, lightning fire risk, and fire occurrence. At a minimum, initial attack forces will be maintained for a 9-hour period between the hours of 0800 and 2000, seven days per week. Actual times will be based on expected conditions and or historical fire risk.
During fires that occur after the hours state above during fire season, dispatch procedures and notification of district initial attack units and personnel will begin within 45 minutes.
Engine locations will be based on maintaining a two- (2) hour maximum response time from the base location to all roaded lands, within the District response area. Normal initial attack standards during fire season are two (2) personnel per engine.
RECEIPT OF FIRE REPORT INFORMATION:
Both during and outside of fire season, the District Dispatch Center is available to receive reports of fires based on maintaining a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week coverage. Using a variety of sources including but not limited to district patrols, general public, 911 emergency centers, industry cooperators and agency reporting systems such as smoke detection cameras, lookouts and aerial detection aircraft. The District will assign a Fire Duty Officer to an on call status during non-office hours, for the dispatching of district initial attack forces.
Page 2 of 26 What Do Fire Danger Ratings Mean? Fire Danger Ratings / Decision Tool
LOW - Fires are not easily started. Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands, although a more LOW intense ignition source, such as lightning, may start many fires in duff or punky wood. Fires in open cured grassland may burn freely a few hours after rain, but fires burning in forested areas spread slowly ERC = 0 - 23 by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting.
MODERATE - Fires start easily and spread at a moderate rate. Fires can start from most accidental causes, but with the exception of lightning fires in some areas, the number of starts is generally low. MODERATE Fires in open-cured grassland will burn briskly and spread rapidly on windy days. Timber litter fires spread slowly to moderately fast. The average fire is of moderate intensity, although heavy ERC = 24 - 41 concentrations of fuel may burn hot. Short-distance spotting may occur, but is not persistent. Fires are not likely to become serious, and control is relatively easy.
HIGH - Fires start easily and spread at a fast rate. All fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start HIGH easily from most causes. Unattended campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short- distance spotting is common. High-intensity burning may develop on slopes, or in concentrations of ERC = 42 – 53 fine fuel. Fires may become serious and difficult to control unless they are hit hard and fast while small.
Page 3 of 26 EXTREME - Fires start very easily and spread at a very fast rate. The fire situation can become explosive and can result in extensive property damage. Fires start easily from all causes, spread rapidly and intensify quickly. All fires are potentially serious. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires EXTREME burning in heavy fuels may quickly develop high-intensity characteristics, such as long-distance ERC = 54 > spotting and fire whirlwinds. Direct attack at the head of such fires is rarely possible and may be dangerous, except immediately after ignition. Under these conditions, the only effective and safe control action is on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel supply lessens.
Page 4 of 26 Page 5 of 26 Industrial Fire Precaution Levels / Decision Tool ERC 1000 FM IC
Level I - Closed Season I Fire precaution requirements are in effect. A Fire Watch/Security is required at this and all higher levels 0 - 29 > 17% 0 - 11 unless otherwise waived.
Level II - Partial Hootowl The following may operate only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time: Power saws except at loading sites; II 29 – 45 16 – 14% 12 - 20 Cable yarding; Blasting; Welding or cutting of metal. Level III - Partial Shutdown The following are prohibited except as indicated: Cable yarding - except that gravity operated logging systems employing nonmotorized carriages may operate between 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. when all blocks and moving lines are suspended 10 feet above the ground except the line between the carriage and the chokers. Power saws - except power saws may be used at loading sites and on tractor/skidder operations between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time. III In addition, the following are permitted to operate between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time: 46 - 53 13 – 11% 21 - 31 Tractor, skidder, feller-buncher, forwarder, or shovel logging operations where tractors, skidders, or other equipment with a blade capable of constructing fireline are immediately available to quickly reach and effectively attack a fire start; Mechanized loading or hauling of any product or material; blasting; Welding or cutting of metal; Any other spark emitting operation not specifically mentioned. Level IV - General Shutdown IV 54 > 10% < 32 > All operations are prohibited.

Page 7 of 26 AUTOMATIC DISPATCH:
1. The preplanned or “automatic dispatch” procedures was developed to provide an initial attack response to a known or suspected smoke report. The preplanned dispatch procedure is based upon predicted National Fire Danger Rating Levels, travel times, and primary fuel cover. The District Dispatch Center must be kept informed of the locations of all personnel and equipment.
2. During fire season, every morning the District Dispatch Center will announce via radio the preplanned dispatch level the district will use for the day. There are four (4) levels of preplanned dispatch:
ERC
Low 0-23
Moderate 24-41
High 42-53
Extreme 54 +
1. During low fire danger or outside of fire season, the dispatcher will dispatch the nearest Forest Officer and notify the Unit Forester for that response area.
2. When the fire danger is in the moderate thru extreme levels during fire season and during the regular dispatch hours, the dispatcher will refer to / use the I/A Incident Operations Guide that is outlined on the following page.
3. Prior to 1100 and after 2200 hours, the dispatcher or fire duty officer will notify the appropriate Unit Forester or the District Manager.
4. During either a single fire event or a multiple fire event under the Expanded Dispatch Protocol, DFPA Dispatch will notify the District Manager, who will notify the Area Director whenever a fire meets the following criteria:
Arson caused fire
Whenever the fire involves an active operation
When fire size exceeds 10 acres
Page 8 of 26 I/A Incident Operations Guide
Purpose is to establish standard operating guide for incident organization / information gathering for Type 4 & 5 incidents and those incidents with potential of expanding beyond initial attack.
A. Readiness: All firefighting equipment & PPE will be inspected and documented daily. Vehicles are to be maintained “Parade Ready” prior to going into service. No vehicle will be put into service with less than ¾ tank of fuel.
B. Incident Report: Radio will be monitored at all times! Upon notification of fire, Dispatch will give a “verbal” pre-alert over the radio system. (Pre-alert Natural Cover Fire, Dispatch Block 17). -pause- Dispatch will then sound alert tone to initiate the dispatch block of incident location. Dispatch will read off the block card once, then contact each resource to verify response. Dispatch- All units from dispatch reported Natural Cover Fire dispatch block 17, I-5 MP 92 SB, Engines 29, 57, 32, Dozer 24, H5MM and AA11H respond; Engine 29, 29 responding from Glendale; Engine 57, 57 responding from South Douglas; Engine 32, 32 responding from South Douglas; Dozer 24, Dozer 24 responding from South Douglas; Helicopter 480, 480 responding; Air Attack 11H, AA11H responding from Roseburg. Dispatch will then confirm units are responding via radio and sign off with the incident number and current time. “Dispatch received Engines 29, 57, 32 and dozer 24, H-480 & AA11H responding to incident number ___, All move-ups report to your assigned area, time out 15:24”.
For multiple fire situations or fires occurring after dispatch hours the Unit Supervisor will assign resources to the incident.
B.1 Unit Supervisors will acknowledge the dispatch.
B.2 Detection calls out on the radio to confirm that they see or do not see smoke.
B.3 Aircraft dispatcher will send out via text & email the lat/lon of the reported fire location.
C. Arrival at scene: First unit on scene will establish command and give proper size-up. Example: “Engine 57 on scene, ½ acre grass & brush burning off the freeway, moderate rate of spread, keep everything coming, establishing MP 92 command. I will get back to you with more info”. (Command may be passed or assumed depending on complexity, if this happens dispatch needs to know!) The IC of the incident will be known as “MP92 IC” and the name of the incident will be “MP92”.
As soon as possible give approximate legal location or Lat/Lon.
D. Post Fire Action: Once fire is contained and resources are to be released the “IC” will
Page 9 of 26 sign and gather incident shift tickets. Each resource will call into dispatch when they are released from the incident. “Engine 29 released from MP 92 Fire returning to patrol”. The IC will relay the following information to dispatch: -Final fire size -Confirmed Lat/Lon -Fire Behavior. “Use codes from the F.I.R.E.S. manual”. -Fuel Type. “Use codes from the F.I.R.E.S. manual”. -Cause. “Use codes from the F.I.R.E.S. manual”. -General Cause. “Use codes from the F.I.R.E.S. manual”. -Specific Cause. “Use codes from the F.I.R.E.S. manual”.
Example: “Final fire size 1 ac; ROS-3, Fuel type-F; Cause- 13,3,354. All DFPA resources are clear of scene and command terminated, Move-ups and standbys are released”.
NOTE: The above procedure is only in effect during the initial attack phase of the first fire or until all resources are back into position.

Expanded Dispatch Protocol.
In the event of multiple incidents or developing type 3 or above incident, the following guide has been developed. Unit supervisors will be notified of incidents within their respective jurisdictions. Based on values at risk/potential, a “closest force” concept shall be used. Information collected by dispatch (camera detection, fixed wing, 911 or general public) is critical for determining a timely gauged response.
All intelligence gathered shall be documented utilizing the “Incident Dispatch Log” form. All resource requests will be documented on this form and a “General Message” shall be completed stating what is requested and a copy submitted to the RESU/ROSS Expanded Dispatcher.
Functionality: 1 Determine need to implement Expanded Dispatch. 2. Notify over command frequency that Expanded Dispatch Protocol is now in place. 3. All air to ground communications will be moved to ORANGE NET. All handheld radios will be set to “Expanded (group 16)” 4. All incoming phone calls for dispatch will be screened and only those calls from another dispatch center (DCC, SCC, SOA dispatch center, BLM, USFS) or DFPA employee will be sent to dispatch. Information collected from the general public reporting a fire (location of fire, person name and phone #) will be collected and hand delivered to dispatch. 5. A ROSS qualified person will occupy Dispatch Coordinator office and become the established point of contact for resource ordering (EDSP). 6. If needed, the DFPA conference room will serve as Procurement, Situation, LOGS and Finance. 7. Dispatcher 1 & 2 will assume ground & air resource tracking. a.) Incident Dispatch Log form will be started for each separate incident and all incidents will be named and numbered. b.) Magnet board will be utilized for tracking reports of fires. 1.) blue fire symbol w/incident # – smoke spotted by detection camera 2.) yellow fire symbol w/incident # -smoke reported by 911 3.) red fire symbol w/incident # - smoke reported by aircraft or engine c.) File folder will be started and given a fire # for each incident. d.) Unit supervisor will be notified and will select what resources they would like to respond with. Request will be documented and folder placed in the “Assigned” portion of the file holder. e.) If no resources are available to respond file folder will be placed into the “Unassigned” portion of the file holder. These fires will need to be verified asap by aircraft/or detection camera and assigned a ranked priority 1-6 (1= little potential, 6= Critical) f.) Resource orders / requests will be documented on the Dispatch Log and communicated to expanded dispatch via “General Message Forms”. E.) EDSP will implement ROSS system. 1.) Place Order (Aircraft, Engines ect.) 2.) Send “General Message” back to dispatch verifying request has been ordered. 3.) Send “General Message” requesting LOGS to validate order. 4.) Fill order upon receiving confirmation from LOGS. 5.) Send “General Message” to dispatch with eta of resource request. 8.) Organization a.) Supervisory Dispatcher – Has the floor duty, coordinates dispatch and assists with radio. b.) Dispatcher- Facilitates general dispatch duties. c.) Aircraft Dispatcher- Handles all aviation duties. d.) Radio Operator- Responsible for Incident dispatch log, tracking resources and assist dispatcher. f.) EDSP- facilitates ROSS orders coordinates with Supervisory Dispatcher.
*RADO & EDSP are ad-hoc positions and can be filled by any available personnel.
Page 14 of 26 BLM NOTIFICATION:
1. If the fire is on or threatening BLM land, notify appropriate BLM district within 30 minutes.
A. Check for BLM Special Resource Management Areas in or near the fire area.
B. A BLM Resource Advisor may be assigned by the local BLM District for any BLM fire for which DFPA takes suppression action. The role of the resource advisor is to help determine natural and cultural resource concerns that could be affected by suppression actions, and to aid in the determination of emergency suppression rehabilitation needs.
C. During the normal hours of dispatch operation, contact the appropriate District BLM COR as soon as possible and give the following information
1. Legal Description 2. Fire Size 3. Fire Behavior 4. Suppression actions being taken 5. Suspected Cause 6. Values Threatened
D. If the fire escapes the initial attack phase contact the BLM COR for the appropriate BLM District.
FIRE ACTION:
Fire suppression will take precedence over all other activities The District will maintain an aggressive suppression action on all fires, with safety as the first priority. The following fire suppression policy applies to all lands under the pre-dispatch system, during both Low, High and Extreme Risk Performance Periods.
1. On initial attack, the most qualified person at the scene is the Incident Commander. If the incident complexity increases or the Initial Attack Commander is not qualified to manage the incident, a person qualified to manage the complexity of the incident will be assigned. The District will operate under the ICS system during all fire suppression actions.
2. Fast, energetic, and intelligent action will be taken immediately to suppress all fires. Failing in this effort, an attack will be calculated for and executed with the objective of accomplishing control before 0800 hours the next day.
Page 15 of 26 3. If the fire is not controlled within the first work period, the attack for each succeeding day should be determined and executed with the goal of obtaining control before 1000 hours each succeeding day.
4. Particular emphasis will be given to controlling fires while small. Basic requirements are immediate notification to headquarters and prompt initial action --- day or night --- by the closest employee. This employee will remain on the fire until it is out or he / she is relieved.
5. The initial attack force will be sent to the fire under the pre-dispatch system. This is insured through mutual agreements with the USFS and other public agencies.
6. Qualified industrial or contracted personnel and equipment will be used as indicated in the district Resource Readiness Plan and may be called for emergency help through district dispatch.
7. All fires believed to be out will be rechecked within the following 24 hour period, preferably before 1000 hours. Any fire found to have live fire on a recheck would be inspected within the next 24-hour period.
8. A control line, natural or manmade will be completed around all fires, and any spot fire or interior island to be saved, and burning trees or snags threatening further fire spread are felled, or extinguished. Also, all hot spots that are immediate threats to the control line will be cooled, so the line can be expected to hold under foreseeable conditions.
9. All information collected on fires will be compiled and appropriate reports completed promptly.
10. The District has the responsibility to be sure all fires in the District are controlled and extinguished, regardless of legal responsibility.
11. The District will adhere to the criteria for initial and extended attack on BLM Special Fire Management Areas, when the fire is entirely on BLM lands, however resource objectives of all landowners will be considered when developing and selecting tactics to suppress a fire on multiple landowners. BLM Special Fire Management Areas are on file in DFPA Dispatch.
12. In cases where a fire that has escaped initial attack on BLM lands, a “Letter of Direction” will be developed by the BLM COR with assistance from DFPA. The “Letter of Direction” will provide concerns and resource management objectives for the District Manager to use in determining strategies and meeting District objectives.
13. In the event structures are threatened by wildfire, the District will activate and utilize the appropriate Rural Fire District Task Force or Strike Team for structure protection.
14. Initial attack forces will search for and protect evidence of fire cause at the point of origin and will make a preliminary determination of cause. Responding initial attack forces will observe and record events that may aid any fire investigation. All records from the time of reporting the
Page 16 of 26 fire, including all evidence will be made part of the fire investigation file. For all human - caused fires, the District will conduct an investigation, establish and maintain a case file.
POST FIRE ACTION:
1. The District goal is for an effective and efficient use of resources, to completely mop up all fires of 10 acres or less within 72 hours of containment. However efficient and cost effective use of manpower and equipment will be considered in each incident.
2. All class C and larger fires not mopped up within 48 hours of containment will have a mop - up plan as part of each Incident Action Plan by day. The plan will include work to be done, resources needed, projected costs and completion date. The plan will be provided to the BLM project inspector or COR, if on BLM land.
3. On fires involving BLM land refer to the BLM Contract definition for Rehabilitation C.4.5.9
4. DFPA shall, within 5 working days after a fire is declared out on BLM lands, submit to the appropriate District COR the fire report elements required by the BLM to complete the Individual Fire Report, DI-1202. A map of all fires 10 acres in size and greater will also be submitted.

North County: County White Channel Central County: County Gray Channel South County: County Black Channel
2. The Incident Commander (DFPA or Rural) will make contact with the assisting agency either on DFPA or County Fire (Red) which ever frequency is applicable.
3. If the fire involves wildland type fuels the Incident Commander will be a DFPA IC.
4. If the fire is strictly of structural nature the Incident Commander will be from the structural agency (City or RFD).
