united states forest service - each forest has its own dispatch center - requests for more help flow thru "South Zone" and "North Zone" - and probably via the USFS state office and via NIFC also - usfs state office is at 1323 Club Drive Business: 707-562-8737 Vallejo, CA 94592 After Hours: 530-226-2800 (NOPS) ([email protected]) - [oh looky there - north ops (north zone) is the control point after hours]
note - 'north zone' is located at redding - both usfs and cal fire dispatchers are present note - 'south zone' is located at riverside - both usfs and cal fire dispatchers are located there bureau of land management - fire units are dispatched via wide area shared communications centers at susanville and san bernardino and porterville - mutual aid flows via 'north zone' and 'south zone' or maybe via the blm state office national park service - fire units are dispatched by park comm center or a shared comm center or a wide area comm center - mutual aid flows via 'north zone' or 'south zone' or maybe via the state office of nps cal fire - basically each county has its own fire dispatch center - mutual aid flows via the state cal fire command center - maybe - or maybe via north zone and south zone - maybe it depends if its an aviation resource versus a ground resource etc local and county FDs - mutual aid flows via OES or north zone or south zone - there are also county control points / OES control points all over the state - they go into action when structural fire departments need large amounts of help - maybe in a conflagration or quake or nuke note - there are millions of mutual aid agreements between all the various FDs in California - they control the movement of fire forces during everyday emergencies - and local dispatchers tend to those matters note - the OES state control point is colocated with cal fire state control point in mather - they primarily control the oes engines - they dont have any of their own aircraft bottom line - there are multi layers of control and coordination could be much simpler if there was just 1 control point per county - but that would not work great with the usfs nor their aircraft - so there is a hybrid system -- shes got a kid ... together - https://youtu.be/IQQ-hxIwm70?si=8jrwZRcfZg-vN4Ye&t=237 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
