we are starting to plot all the wildfire dispatch centers on a map trying to sort out who dispatches whom - and how the structural FDs are intertwined some of these federal wildfire dispatch centers have very little connection to structural fire departments - but some of them actually do dispatch local structural fire departments - maybe not directly - but they sit next to the person who does dispatch the local FDs - like Grass Valley CA and Fresno CA and San Diego CA and Susanville CA bottom line - there are 2 independent nationwide fire dispatch systems in the USA - structural FDs are tied together via IAFC or IAFF iirc - the federal and state wildfire agencies are tied together via NIFC / NICC / IROC the structural fire department radio systems are basically set up on a county by county basis - the federal and state wildfire agencies basically use radio systems that are presently set up on a regional basis using regional interagency wildfire comms centers one other note - nearly every structural FD in the USA also has at least 1 wildfire truck - from Eastport Maine to Westport California - coast to coast - there are brush trucks and forest fire wagons in probably 50% of the structural fire stations in the USA - lets see if we can confirm that https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/summary#d - fema says they have 52,000 fire stations listed - and that data represents 91% of FDs - so there might be actually 57,000 fire stations in the USA - so there might be 40,000 brush trucks operated by structural FDs - thats a wild guess based on 1 brush truck per suburban and rural fire station -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
