BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Both Parties shall have responsibility for Initial Attack in the case of a Boundary Line Fire. Neither Party will assume the other is aware of the fire, or is taking action. The officer-in-charge who arrives first at the boundary line fire will act as Incident Commander. When both Parties have arrived, they will mutually agree to the designation of the Incident Commander or the initiation of a Unified Command Structure.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. A boundary line fire, as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Terms, will be the initial attack responsibility of the protecting agencies on either side of the boundary. Neither agency will assume the other Agency is aware of the fire or that the other agency will take action. Each agency will make every reasonable effort to communicate with the other concerning the fire. When protecting agencies have arrived at the site of the fire, the agencies will mutually agree to the designation of an Incident command organization.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Specify notification procedures.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Parties to this agreement agree to cooperate in defining and coordinating response to boundary line fires. The defined response will be documented in appropriate Annual Operating Plans.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Units are expected to review boundary areas annually with neighboring agencies to determine whether preplanned fire control lines and response strategies are still appropriate for each other’s jurisdictional interests. Plans to resolve adjacency issues will be documented in local annual operating plans and on maps attached to those plans.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Agencies are expected to review boundary areas annually with neighboring agencies to determine whether preplanned fire control lines and response strategies are still appropriate for each other’s jurisdictional interests. Plans to resolve adjacency issues will be documented in local Dispatch operating plans and on maps attached to those plans. Every effort shall be made to notify neighboring agencies whenever a fire is threatening their jurisdiction or protection. Any, and all requests for emergency assistance and incident support on cross boundary incidents must be clear and concise and shall be processed and recorded through a single dispatching center. Reconciliation of costs for border fires will follow the Billings and Invoices Processes as outlined in Exhibit D.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. A fire burning on or directly adjacent to, the DPA Boundary will be the initial attack responsibility of the protecting agencies on either side of the boundary. Neither Agency will assume the other Agency is aware of the fire or that the other Agency will take action. Each Agency will make every reasonable effort to communicate with the other concerning the fire. Each agency will bear the cost of its initial attack forces on a “boundary fire.” Unless it is determined that the fire is confined to the DPA of either the State or the Federal Agencies, a unified command organization will be implemented. For unified command, the Incident Commanders of the involved agencies shall mutually agree upon fire suppression objectives, strategies, commitment of agency suppression resources and establishment of the Unified Ordering Point (UOP), reference Exhibit H, Unified Ordering Point. If it is determined that the fire is confined to the DPA of the State or the Federal Agencies, the protecting agency will designate an Incident Commander. If necessary, the protecting agency may request the supporting agency to assume command of the fire.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. Units are expected to review boundary areas annually with neighboring agencies to determine whether preplanned response strategies, (e.g., run cards, special management considerations), are still appropriate for each other’s jurisdictional interests. Plans to resolve adjacency issues will be documented in Sub-Geographic Operating Plans and on maps referenced in those plans. Those plans will guide the development of cost share agreements if multi-jurisdictional fires occur in the area. When a wildland fire that is being managed for resource objectives, spreads into a neighboring jurisdiction where fire is not wanted, the managing jurisdiction shall be responsible for wildfire suppression costs.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. All parties to this operational plan agree to operate primarily under the principle of reimbursement for wildland fire suppression costs. When a fire xxxxx on both sides of a protection boundary or threatens another jurisdiction, and is beyond the Non Reimbursable Mutual Aid Period, a cost share agreement shall be prepared and approved by the agency representative or designee.
BOUNDARY LINE FIRES. A boundary-line fire will be the initial attack responsibility of the Protecting Parties on either side of the boundary. Neither party will assume the other is aware of the fire or is taking action. Each party will make every reasonable effort to communicate with the other concerning the fire. When both parties have arrived at the site of the fire, the parties will mutually agree to the designation of an incident command organization and notify the servicing dispatch center.
