ARTICLE I.Background and Objectives:
This Incident Coordination Services Interagency Agreement is entered into by and between the
United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Region, hereinafter
referred to as "R4"; the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management,
Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah State Offices, hereinafter referred to as "ID BLM",
"WY BLM", and "UT BLM", respectively; the United States Department of Interior, National
Park Service, Rocky Mountain Region hereinafter referred to as "NPS"; the United States
Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 6, hereinafter referred to as "FWS";
the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Portland, Phoenix,
Albuquerque, and Navajo Area Offices, hereinafter referred to as "PDX BIA", "PHX BIA",
"ABQ BIA", and "NAV BIA", respectively; the State of Utah, Division of State Lands and
Forestry, hereinafter referred to as "UT", and the State of Idaho, Department of Lands, hereinafter
referred to as "ID".
This Agreement is entered into under the authorities of:
*
Memorandum of Understanding between United States Department of Agriculture
and Department of Interior, dated January 28, 1943
*
Economy Act of June 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 417; 31 U.S.C. 686) as amended
*
National Park Service Organic Act of August 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1)
*
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1737)
*
Granger Thye Act of April 24, 1950, as amended (16 U.S.C. 572 c)
*
Reciprocal Fire Protection Act, May 27, 1955 (41 U.S.C. 1856)
*
Disaster Relief Act of May 22, 1974 (42 U.S.C. 1521)
*
Idaho Forestry Act, Title 38 - Chapter 1 (Idaho Code)
*
Utah Code Annotated 1988, Title 65.A-8-1
The purpose of this Agreement is to:
Establish a method for coordination between and among the above-named agencies to provide
for a reduction of duplication of effort and cost of said agencies by ensuring that a single system
exists for establishing and maintaining a dispatching/coordination program which is responsive
to requests for incident management support in a safe, timely, and cost-effective manner with
efficient and effective interagency practices. This system will provide for economic benefits
through interagency cooperation and coordination of incident management resources within the
Eastern Great Basin Area (defined as that area including state and federal agency lands within the
portion of southern Idaho within the established Forest Service Intermountain Region geographic
R4 SUPPLEMENT 1500-94-4
EFFECTIVE 5/26/94
1561.1-Part04
Page 5 of 19
1561.1 - Exhibit 07--Continued
boundary, southwestern Wyoming to include the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Rock
Springs BLM District, and all lands within the state of Utah) hereinafter referred to as the Eastern
Great Basin Area. This system will provide uniformity of logistical communication, including
intelligence data, and dispatching/coordination procedures among wildland fire management
agencies of the Department of the Interior; Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Park
Service (NPS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS);
Department of Agriculture; Forest Service (FS); the Utah Division of State Lands and Forestry;
the Idaho Department of Lands; the Eastern Great Basin Coordination Center (EGBCC); and the
Western Great Basin Coordination Center (WGBCC) and their constituents by:
*
Identifying, positioning, and utilizing established incident resources to meet
anticipated and existing fire protection and all-risk management needs through the
use of closest available resources regardless of location and agency affiliation.
*
Gathering, consolidating, and redistributing intelligence for determining
interagency severity and priority setting.
*
Establishing resource allocation priorities during periods of competition or
depletion of resources.
No single wildland fire management agency in the Eastern Great Basin Area is capable of
economically operating such a system unilaterally and no private sources exist for these support
services.

INTERAGENCY DISPATCHING
1.
Interagency Personnel Duties and Work Scheduling
The Fire Management Officers of each agency will jointly prepare the Interagency
personnel duties, procedures and work schedule for the operation of the Fire Center.
It will be reviewed annually and revised as needed.
2.
Reporting of Fires
All fires will be reported immediately and directly to the dispatcher. If a field unit
takes initial attack action, they will notify the dispatcher of the fire and the action
taken. All fires outside of the respective administrative unit protection boundaries
shall be reported to the dispatcher for action. The dispatcher will notify the
responsible Fire Management Officer of the fire on their administrative unit as
quickly as possible. Initial attack should never be delayed because of communication
delays or doubts about administrative responsibility.
A going fire will be given priority. All firefighters and equipment necessary for
control of a fire may be utilized. Units will not hold back forces or equipment from a
going fire because of high fire danger, unless requested to do so by the dispatcher.
The dispatcher will be advised of the issuance of Wildfire burning permits and will
notify concerned cooperators of the date, time and place of the burning.
3.
Aerial Fire Detection
All requests for aerial detection for going fires or after thunderstorms should originate
from the field unit and will be placed through the dispatcher. The dispatcher may
initiate an aerial scouting flight if it is determined that the combined impact on
multiple units justify the flight.
R4 SUPPLEMENT 1500-94-4
EFFECTIVE 5/26/94
1561.1-Part04
Page 14 of 19
1561.1 - Exhibit 08--Continued
4.
Closest Force Utilization
To the extent authorized by each agency the closest suppression force may be
dispatched for initial attack. Any follow-up action should be dispatched from the
agency having jurisdictional responsibility. When other protective agency's forces
can make initial attack faster than the forces of the agency with the primary protection
responsibility the dispatcher may request the other agency's forces and equipment.
Upon arrival at the fire the responsible agency's personnel will assume command,
unless otherwise instructed, utilizing all the forces on the fire. Outside agency men
and equipment will be used as needed unless a request is made for their early release.
5.
Ordering of Resources for Escaped Fires
All orders for reinforcements for an escaped fire will be placed through the
dispatcher.
6.
Air Tanker Dispatching
All air tankers and lead plane requests will be placed through the dispatcher. The
dispatcher will dispatch the air tanker based on guidelines issued by each agency. All
requests for the air tanker will be honored on a first come first serve basis unless
multiple requests require the establishment of priorities. Regional priorities must also
be considered.
7.
Helicopter Dispatching
All dispatch of the helicopters and helicopter crews will be through the dispatcher in
accordance with guidelines set by each agency. Any off unit assignment of
helicopters will be approved by the respective Fire Management Officers.
8.
Off Unit Assignment of Overhead
All overhead requests will be processed through the dispatcher in accordance with
guidelines set by each agency.
