Exhibit B - Sample Response Plan March 2019 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 6 of 26 Blank Page 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.

    MILWAUKEE FIRE DEPARTMENT Operational Guidelines Approved by: Chief Mark Rohlfing 2012 FORWARD The purpose of these operational guidelines is to make clear expectations for company performance, safety, and efficiency, eliminating the potential for confusion and duplication of effort at the emergency scene. It is understood that extraordinary situations may dictate a deviation from these guidelines. Deviation can only be authorized by the officer/acting officer of an apparatus or the incident commander. Any deviation must be communicated over the incident talk group. The following guidelines are meant to clarify best operational practices for the MFD. They are not intended to be all-inclusive and are designed to be updated as necessary. They are guidelines for you to use. However, there will be no compromise on issues of safety, chain of command, correct gear usage, or turnout times (per NFPA 1710). These operating guidelines will outline tool and task responsibilities for the specific riding positions on responding units. While the title of each riding position and the assignments that follow may not always seem to be a perfect pairing, the tactical advantage of knowing where each member is supposed to be operating at a given assignment will provide for increased accountability and increased effectiveness while performing our response duties. Within the guidelines, you will see run-type specific (and in some cases, arrival order specific) tool and task assignments. On those responses listing a ‘T (or R)’ as the response unit, the Company will be uniformly listed as ‘Truck’ for continuity. The riding positions are as follows: ENGINE RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO NOZZLE FF BACKUP FF TRUCK RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO VENT FF FORCE FF SAFETY If you see something that you believe impacts our safety, it is your duty to report it to your superior Officer immediately.

  • Center Hall Way (Interior Hallway) Sog
    CENTER HALL WAY (INTERIOR HALLWAY) SOG I. DEFINITIONS CENTER HALLWAY: An enclosed hallway in the middle of a building with units on either side of the hallway. Center hallway construction can be found in both commercial and residential structures such as apartments, hotels, and office buildings. The most common found in Glendale are pre 1933 and large wood frame stucco apartment buildings, three and four stories. SELF-CLOSING (PONET) DOORS: Required in the stairwells of buildings with more than two occupied, residential floors. SPRINKLER ORDINANCE: Retroactively required in all buildings that are four or more stories. PENTHOUSE DOOR: Rooftop access from a stairwell. PRE 1933 NEWER CONSTRUCTION II. OPERATIONS A. KEYS TO INCIDENT RESOLUTION 1. STOP HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL SPREAD OF FIRE • Rapid investigation to determine the location & scope of the incident. • Rapid deployment of the initial attack line to locate, confine, and extinguish the fire. THESE ARE SOG’S NOT DEPARTMENT POLICY 1 • Aggressive coordinated ventilation to support interior operations. • After initial attack line is established, based on fire conditions, pull an additional attack line(s) to back up fire attack with a priority on protecting the hallways and stairwells. ALL ACTIONS ASSUMED OFFENSIVE. DECLARE DEFENSIVE IF APPROPRIATE. 2. PROTECT THE HALLWAY & STAIRWELLS • Center hallways and stairwells can promote rapid fire spread both horizontally and vertically. They can act as an entry, exit, and chimney for the fire. At the same time, they are the access and egress for both the occupants and fire suppression personnel. • Hallway and stairwell (Ponet) doors must be controlled systematically to help isolate the smoke/fire to the floor of origin.
