When there are not enough available resources within King County, a request needs to go to the Regional Coordinator. 5.2 South Puget Sound Regional Fire Defense Board - King County, Kitsap, Pierce and Mason Counties form the South Puget Sound Fire Defense Board. This Board has a Chair (Regional Coordinator) and representatives from each County (County Representative) and a Department of Natural Resources Representative. The Board meets monthly to coordinate the South Puget Sound Regional Fire Defense Plan (all hazards fire response) in coordination with the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan. 5.3 Regional Response - When Local and King County Mutual Aid resources are depleted, a jurisdiction may request an element of Wildland Fire Fighting (or all hazards) from outside King County to respond from the South Puget Sound Region. This request needs to go through the respective KC Dispatch Center to Pierce County Fire Communications. Pierce Fire Communications will call the Regional Coordinator (see below) for response coordination. Section 7 - Wildland Page 3 of 9 Revised: 01/22/2018
4 5.4 State Mobilization Response Conditions for the request when local jurisdiction has or will expend all available: Local Resources, Mutual aid resources, special resources are not available, jurisdiction agrees to comply with Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan Request must be made by the Local Fire Chief to Regional Coordinator to State EOC to WSP Mobilization Coordinator to Chief of WSP to EOC for response The respective County Coordinators and determine the status of available resources for mobilization response from their Zone. The King County Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) and Zone Coordinators should be notified and daily updates provided on situation status, anticipated additional requests, and state wide incident status from the regional coordinator. 5.5 Deployment of resources for mobilizations shall follow the following guidelines: Personnel that are assigned as members of an Incident Management Team (IMT) shall respond with their IMT when requested by the Team. Their Zone Coordinator shall be informed when they are deployed and when they return. This will be relayed to the County and Regional Coordinator Requests for Strike Team or Task Force Leaders shall come through the Regional or County Coordinator. Assignments will be made on a rotational basis from eligible personnel that have indicated their availability to participate Specifically named requests will be honored for assignments where that individual possesses unique skill sets that are limited to that person within the County, or are otherwise unavailable for others to fill. These named requests should still be channeled back to the Zone, County, or Regional Coordinator to assure the request is being appropriately filled Any agency that receives a resource request will channel the request back through the Zone, County, or Regional Coordinator. Where the request will be evaluated and filled as per current practices Any personnel receiving a direct request shall channel the request back through the Zone, County, or Regional Coordinator. Where the request will be evaluated and filled as per current practices. Section 7 - Wildland Page 4 of 9 Revised: 01/22/2018
5 6.0 RESPONSIBILITY 6.1 When resources are requested from within KC, the resources assigned should be equally shared as much as possible to reduce impact on one particular Zone. The Zone Coordinators should be working wth the regional and county representative for coordination. 6.2 Whether within King County or for Regional or State Mobilizations, when resources including TF/ST s are assigned from King County, the sending KC Zone Coordinator(s) should notify the King County Emergency Coordination Center and the other two zone coordinators and provide details of the event, periodic updates, and notification when resources have been demobilized. 6.3 Any costs incurred for non-fire department equipment ordered through Command will be the sole responsibility of the jurisdiction having authority. Helicopters for reconnaissance should be requested through the IC to King County PD or OEM. Helicopters and Overhead to manage them for suppression needs to be requested through Washington Department of Natural Resources South Puget Region. Costs for aircraft are the sole responsibility of the jurisdiction having authority. 6.4 Dozers, tenders (non-fire service), fallers, inmate hand crews or other special equipment should be requested through Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) if not available through existing local agreements. WADNR maintains a current list for these resources. 6.5 Agencies need to identify location of incident, type of fire situation, on scene command designator; communications talk group or frequency, size of incident, and projected growth of incident. Local/Regional mutual aid mobilization of a wildland element is expected to take approximately one hour, adding response time to the hour. For State Mobilizations, two hours are needed. 6.6 The requested element of the division will report to either the scene (if so directed) or to the Staging Area or other check-in location, as so designated. Supervisor for the element will report to the Command Post for a briefing prior to committing the resource. 6.7 Resources are a critical consideration when activated. Water tenders assigned to the Task Force should be kept with their assigned TF/ST Leader and should not be considered for use in other areas. Engine (type 1-2) Strike Teams/Task Forces should be utilized for structural protection, and are not included as a wildland element, but can be managed by wildland command.

9 Helicopter Procedure for Wildland Fires DNR manages their aviation assets on a state wide, as needed, basis. Often fire danger indicators cause them to relocate helicopters east of the Cascades resulting in extended response times. Calling early for this resource is wise due to the reflex time involved. We would generally utilize their service for Interface fires only. Fires on DNR protected areas will usually get a DNR helicopter, depending on availability. Criteria for calling would be a fire threatening homes where ground resources could not get a quick handle on the approaching fire due to fire intensity, lack of resources, or a fire threatening multiple homes. Fires in inaccessible areas may be another use. As well as to cool and hold a fire and its progression so crews can get close to it. Procedure: Request if: - Fire threatening home(s) and your unable to slow it. - Your position is being threatened Have Fire Dispatch call DNR and provide needed information to the dispatcher. Location [Lat./Long], type of fire, what is threatened, duration needed and ground contact. A DNR Representative needs to be requested to manage the operation of the helicopter. A Wildland Team Leader can act as Air Ops. Until a DNR representative arrives. Capabilities include: Bucket Drops with 110 or 144 gallons Transport of personnel to a helispot (LZ) Transport of equipment via long line sling Recon of the incident Do not call for this resource unless it is clear from reports that there is a definite Interface situation. Most fires can be handled with the equipment on your engine.. Section 7 - Wildland Page 9 of 9 Revised: 01/22/2018
