Cal Fire Plan for Placer County - 2017 very complicated around page 30 of 201 as they try to explain who does what and why keywords - mutual aid agreement - automatic aid agreement - closest response - fire service coordination - fire department coordination ==================================== "Schedule A" is structural firefighting using fulltime CalFire employees (performed via a special contract between Cal Fire and the local agency - Cal Fire gets paid by the local agency to supply this service) - this is how a state forest fire service becomes an 'all risk' agency "Schedule B" is wildland firefighting us fulltime CalFire firefighters and seasonal CalFire firefighters "Schedule C" is maybe structural and wildland using volunteers and CalFire employees - not sure Apparently in Cal Fire's budgeting process - everything is broken down into one of 3 funding sources or 3 functions - Schedule A + B + C "Local Wildland Contracts" are special agreements by Cal Fire to assist local government agencies at fires on local government responsibility lands- using Cal Fire FT FF and CalFire seasonal FF I think - not using Cal Fire or County vols - again - Cal Fire gets paid for providing this service - the local agency coughs up the money to Cal Fire - it would be like if Boston FD paid Massachusetts State Forest Fire Service to put out wildfires on Thompsons Island or Stony Brook Reservation - but I think Boston would say that is state land - they should be paying us - we put out all the fires anyhow technically - Cal Fire does not have vol FFs - I think that all vol FFs that work from Cal Fire stations are technically employed by the county fd or the local district fd yup - can be complicated - let me see what I can figure out today keep in mind - Cal Fire dispatches many of the local and volunteer fire stations in California - using the Cal Fire radio channels some times - sometimes using county or local radio channels - so operationally things are tight - administratively not so much -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
