Prescribed Fires Declared Wildfires Sample Clauses

Prescribed Fires Declared Wildfires. The fiscal responsibility for suppression costs on an escaped prescribed fire that was ignited by, managed at the direction of, or under the supervision of one or more of the Parties to this Agreement shall be agreed upon and documented in an incident-specific cost apportionment agreement. Once a prescribed fire is declared a wildfire, the Protecting Agency FMO will assume operational control of the wildfire with the collaboration of Jurisdictional Agency, the Burn Boss, and the contingency IC. A wildfire number will be assigned and all wildfire management costs will be charged to that number. Decision support documentation is required regardless of fire cause. The acreage burned after the prescribed fire was declared a wildfire is reported as wildfire acreage in the final fire report. Reference Section V.5 below for decision process requirements. As dictated by individual agency policy, the Jurisdictional Agency administrator is responsible for conducting the appropriate level of investigation when a prescribed fire is declared a wildfire.
