Arizona has a special and solemn gratitude for the sacrifices of these men and women. We’ve lost more than 119 firefighters and paramedics in the line of duty – including 19 heroic Granite Mountain Hot Shots taken at Yarnell Hill in 2013 in Arizona’s deadliest wildfire on record. We will never forget all of these men and women. They gave their lives to protect their communities, and we can never repay them. That’s why I’m proud they’ll be forever honored on the grounds of Arizona’s State Capitol. This spectacular memorial will remind us every day of our fallen, as well as the countless heroes among us who devote their daily lives to saving ours. They, along with their families and loved ones, are eternally in our thoughts and prayers. The Arizona Fallen Firefighter Memorial is a fitting tribute to the dedication, professionalism and nobility of all Arizona first responders. I encourage all Arizonans to visit our State Capitol and pay deserved tribute to these heroes.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

  • Before Wildfire Strikes!
    EM 9131 n DECEMBER 2015 Before Wildfire Strikes! A Handbook for Homeowners and Communities in Southwest Oregon Do you know what it takes to survive wildfire? Southwest Oregon at Risk In the fire-adapted ecosystems of southwest Oregon, it is not a matter of “if” wildfire is going to occur, but “when.” Unfortunately, many residents living in Josephine and Jackson counties and beyond are not prepared for wildfire. Neither are their homes. Faced with the growing potential for loss of human life and property due to wildfire, southwest Oregon’s firefighting agencies and Oregon State University’s Cooperative Extension have come together to promote an integrated approach, melding Firewise Community concepts of on-the-ground fuels management with the larger community interaction and landscape-wide fire resilience in a Fire-Adapted Community concept. They believe this is the best opportunity to decrease the wildfire threat. When a wildfire is threatening your community, the time to prepare has passed. However, there are steps that homeowners can take to improve personal safety and home survival before a wildfire occurs. The purpose of this publication is to promote and teach these steps. Once implemented at the neighborhood level, these recommendations will assist Map: U.S. Forest Service communities in becoming fire-adapted. Fire starts in Josephine and Jackson counties for 2015. Who wins, who loses Why do some houses survive a wildfire, while others are destroyed? Research shows that house survival during wildfire is not random, miraculous, or dumb luck. Rather, it is the features of the house, the characteristics of the adjacent vegetation and other fuels, and routine maintenance that often determine which houses burn and which survive.

    SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group ICS FOG PREFACE This Field Operations Guide (FOG) was created to assist emergency response agencies of Spokane County and the greater Inland Empire in the art of incident management. It is intended to serve these agencies by promoting a common all-risk Incident Command System (ICS). This document provides an incident management framework to meet an agency’s routine ICS needs as well as expanding to meet the demands of large-scale complex events, which by their nature, demand safe, effective incident management and multi-agency coordination. The Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group encourages agencies to utilize this guide as a baseline for managing incident operations recognizing it may need to be supported by additional agency specific policies and guidelines. The Spokane County ICS Field Operations Guide is compatible with and used in conjunction with the Spokane Area Fire Resource Plan, the Washington Fire Mobilization Plan and the Northwest Regional Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan to order and coordinate the use of incident resources. This document should be seen as a “work in progress” and as such will demand periodic review by the Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group.
