INTERAGENCY COOPERATION IN WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTING
OVERSIGHT HEARING
BEFORE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE ON FORESTS AND FOREST HEALTH
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON RESOURCES U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH CONGRESS
Were local fire department personnel and equipment utilized in the
most efficient manner?
In Law to Said Act ~
Begin with Rural fire departments typically are the first responders
tomost wildland/ urban interface fires. We need to support these local
firefighters.
we need to talk a little bit about the incident command system.
Federal agencies, states and rural fire departments operate under the
incident command systemwhen fighting fires on Federal lands. The
incident command system uses standard organizational structures,
training and position qualifications in order for us to integrate fire
fighting resources easily into an effective, rapid response team.
command teams called Type I teams, of which there are 16 in the United
States and one in each Hawaii and Alaska total of 18 including The
United States.
formal reporting relationships at the local agencies and they are
responsible for operations, planning, logistics and finance of the
incident. The incident commander and staff, in concert with local
units, work with administrative and resource
7 determine fire fighting objectives and potential strategies and set
immediate priorities. At an incident, local agencies first brief the
national team about the local situation and continue to do so
throughout the incident. Safety is always the incident command team
highest priority. I think it is interesting to understand that when
responding to a fire, coordination operates at several levels. At the
beginning of a fire, called initial attack, the local zone center
conditions all contribute to the number, size and behavior of wildfires.
the National Fire Plan was born out of the 2000 fire season. It
emphasizes five key points: Preparedness - Press release - that is to
strengthen and enhance Federal firefighting capability Restoration and
rehab of former zone authorization into a control wildland - the
rehabilitation of fire damaged wildlands and restore highrisk
ecosystems Hazardous fuel reduction, which is to reduce the risk of
catastrophic wildfire, mitigate hazards and restore fire adapted
ecosystems with an emphasis on the wildland/urban interface Community
assistance - includes volunteer - such tested in step test at The
State Employment office - work with communities to reduce the risks of
catastrophic fire And the fifth was accountability - first by The
Local Political such as Supervisor in with Legislative Federal with
House in Congress - doing what we said we would do.

volunteer fire department funds that are funneled through the state
and go to volunteer fire departments and rural fire departments for
the training and qualifications and equipment needed by the rural fire
departments to participate with their Federal firefighting forces on
wildland fire. So I think the goal of the Federal agencies is in fact
to coordinate better and communicate with the rural fire departments.
