- Wildland fires necessitate a significant command and support staff for effective management.
Resource Request and Activation
- Command is responsible for requesting all needed resources during wildland fire incidents.
- Any "Working First Alarm Brush" assignment or greater is classified as a wildland fire, triggering additional resource dispatch.
