RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBJECTIVES The County/District Fire Warden has the responsibility for providing fire prevention, detection and suppression, for wildland fires on any non-federal lands within the assigned County/District. County/District Fire Wardens act as an official representative of both, the State of Utah and the County in matters pertaining to wildland fire management. The purpose of the County Mobilization Plan is to identify fire personnel from agencies that may have involvement or may become involved in wildland fire suppression, recognize valuable fire suppression resources and/or supplies, and define procedures for reporting fires, requesting assistance for suppression efforts and/or response to wildland fire incidents. This mobilization plan serves as an aid to fire wardens and/or agency personnel. The primary objective of fire suppression is to prevent loss of life, limb and/or valuable properties from threat or damages from wildland fire. Fire suppression efforts must never justify actions, which might endanger human lives. All suppression actions must occur in a safety conscious manner and will have been calculated to minimize danger to involved personnel. Suppression actions taken on any fire must only be to the extent justifiable of the resource threatened. All Fire Suppression actions taken, shall display efforts for minimizing the loss by fire, while reducing unnecessary costs to the county or state. Further clarification of responsibilities and objectives can be referenced in Utah State Code 65A-8-101,102, 103, 201, 202, 203, 209, 210, and 212. This plan is intended to promote expediting and locating and/or ordering equipment, fire personnel, services, etc., from Tooele County, adjacent counties, the state of Utah and/or federal agencies. 3 II.
