2 ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN This Plan is between the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Forestry Division (WSFD), USDA Forest Service (USFS), Park County, Park County Fire Districts Joint Powers Board, and Park County Fire Districts - 1,2,3,4. All Federal, State, and County Agencies may hereinafter be jointly referred to as the "Agencies". A. AUTHORITY: Wyoming Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement USDA Forest Service # 07-FI- 11020000-018 and USDI Bureau of Land Management # KAA 020003. B. PURPOSE: To outline details of implementing the Wyoming Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement, NUMBERS KAA 020003 AND 07-FI-11020000-018 and the Wyoming Interagency Fire Protection Agreement. C. FIRE PROTECTION RESPONSIBILITIES & PRIORITIES: Each agency will retain initial attack responsibility for lands under their protection responsibility. 1. Reciprocal Fire Protection Services (Mutual Aid) Zone Description: All private, State, and Federal lands within Park County. a. Within the reciprocal fire protection zone, each agency shall assume its own full cost of expenditures for a maximum of six (6) hours following the initial dispatch. Costs incurred after the reciprocal fire protection period ends will be reimbursed by the protecting agency. The protecting agency will be determined as soon as possible. All fires will be reported to the protecting agency. b. Reciprocal protection is not construed as an automatic six (6) hour dispatch. Therefore, priority will be given to the release of a supporting agency when it is mutually agreed upon by the initial attack forces that the fire situation is such that the protecting agency's forces on the scene can adequately control the incident. Furthermore, within its capabilities, the protecting agency will render support to the supporting agency to include but not limited to food, water, and additional forces to expedite release of the supporting agency in advance of the maximum six (6) hour reciprocal fire protection.

3 BLM LAND Immediate suppression action will be taken by the cooperating parties within their capabilities. Immediate notification of all fires either on or threatening BLM lands will be given to the CIDC at (1-800-295-9954). The BLM will participate in Reciprocal Fire Protection Services. BOR LAND STATE LAND Wildfires on Bureau of Reclamation lands are protected by the BLM. All suppression actions will be reported to the CIDC (1-800-295-9954) on discovery of a fire which may threaten or directly impact BOR lands. Fires within one mile of BOR land are considered a threat to BOR and will be reported to CIDC. Immediate suppression action will be taken by the cooperating agencies within their capabilities. Each fire district will have primary responsibility for initial attack on State lands within their district. Immediate notification of all fires either on or threatening State lands will be given to the Park County Sheriff s Dispatch at 527-8700 and CIDC. Notification of fires on State lands will be reported promptly to a representative of Wyoming State Forestry Division listed in the attached service directory. The State or its representative suppression forces will participate in Reciprocal Fire Protection Services. NATIONAL FOREST Unless directed otherwise by an agency representative, immediate suppression action may be taken by the cooperating agencies within their capabilities. Immediate notification of all fires either on or threatening National Forest Service lands will be given to the CIDC at (1-800-295-9954). All fires within one (1) mile of the National Forest Boundary may be considered as threatening National Forest land and the U.S. Forest Service determine the appropriate response. For all other lands in Park County, the Forest Service will provide suppression services within current capabilities as requested.

4 PRIVATE LANDS Immediate suppression action will be taken by the cooperating agencies within their capabilities. Immediate notification of all fires either on or threatening private lands or private property will be given to the Park County Sheriff s Dispatch at 527-8700. 2. Reimbursable Fire Protection Services Zone Description: The entire county is considered a reimbursable fire protection zone after the initial six (6) hour reciprocal period or as agreed upon by the Protecting and Supporting agency. 3. Offset or Exchange None identified. 4. Protection Area Maps Each agency will provide a Protection Area Map as an attachment to this Annual Operating Plan. 5. Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) On fires that threaten, or involve the Wildland Urban Interface, the respective County s Community Wildfire Protection Plan shall be referred to for suppression priorities and other information that could prove beneficial to the suppression efforts. D. SPECIAL MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS: 1. FEDERAL LANDS No dozer use is allowed on Federal land unless authorization is given by a Federal representative. Wilderness Study Areas (WSA) and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) measures, constraints and WSA/ACEC maps are provided as an attachment to the Annual Operating Plan. E. WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES: 1. NOTIFICATION All fires and initial action will be reported promptly to the protecting agency and further instructions agreed upon. Upon notification, if the protecting agency fails to properly recognize and claim ownership, suppression costs for the protecting agency's proportionate share will be assessed them upon discovering and proof of ownership

5 by the supporting agency. For list of contacts for notification or requests of assistance see the directory. A fire report shall be submitted to the protecting agency within 15 days after the fire is declared out. 2. INITIAL ATTACK If one or more parties to this agreement arrive on initial attack, the first agency on the scene will assume command and may turn the responsibility over to another agency if they have more qualified supervisory personnel and the complexity of the incident requires a higher level of supervision. Once protection responsibilities are established, the protecting agency(s) will either assume command or direct a supporting agency to do so. Jurisdiction and safety considerations make it necessary that the most qualified supervisory personnel assume command or agree to implement Unified Command of a multi-jurisdictional fire. 3. ESCAPED FIRES OR FIRES THREATENING OTHER JURISDICTIONS Field personnel, involved in fire suppression action, will contact the other protecting agencies as soon as possible after a fire escapes or threatens to escape initial attack near intermingled ownership (defined as different ownership within 1 mile of the fire or it is anticipated that other ownerships may be involved) and a Unit Administrator Group will be assembled by the initial attack agency to represent the protecting agencies involved with that fire. a. Guidelines for assembling the Unit Administrator Group: - A wildfire that escapes initial attack or is a threat to other jurisdictions. - A Type III or higher incident management team (IMT) is dispatched or ordered. - Control is not anticipated before the next burning period. - Suppression expenditures are expected to exceed $15,000.00 b. The Unit Administrator Group's function is: - To participate in development and approval of wildland fire decision documents developed for managing a fire incident. - To recommend to the appropriate Line Officer(s) the level at which the Incident should be managed.

- To prepare a Delegation of Authority for Line Officer(s) signature. - To act as the agency representative for their respective agency. - To develop incident management objectives and agree on management actions needed. - To recommend to the line officers the management level (Type 1, 2, or 3) and command structure (Unified or single IC) appropriate for the incident. This recommendation will be based upon complexity, ownership, values to be protected, and qualifications of personnel. - To develop a written cost share agreement for Line Officer(s) approval signatures (Example - Exhibit H in the Wyoming Mini Mobilization Guide). To prepare an IMT in-briefing, if an IMT has been ordered. - To agree to all expenditures whenever the suppression plan must be modified, including mop-up, rehab and patrol after demobilization of the fire. (1) The Incident Commander/Unified Command will provide the Unit Administrator Group with an estimated fire cost daily. (2) The Incident Commander/Unified Command and the Unit Administrator Group will reach mutual agreement when the fire situation is such that the group can be demobilized. For list of the designated representatives for purposes of a Unit Administrator Group see the directory. 4. FIREFIGHTER QUALIFICATIONS Three levels of expertise are recognized. 1. Within jurisdiction the qualifications for local resources utilized for initial attack fire suppression within that respective county will meet local standards. 2. Outside of jurisdiction, engine dispatch will consist of a minimum of one NWCG 310-1 qualified Engine Boss (ENGB) and one NWCG 310-1 qualified Firefighter Type 2 (FFT2) per engine. Certification will be the responsibility of the sending agency. 3. All county and State Unit Leader positions and above will be NWCG 310-1 qualified. Certification is the responsibility of Wyoming State Forestry Division/agency. 6

7 F. AVIATION PROCEDURES RETARDANT 1. Aerial retardants may be used with prior approval of the protecting agency unless otherwise specified under "Special Management Considerations" of this plan. For list of contacts for retardant usage approval see the directory. 2. Aerial retardants will be paid for by the requesting agency if prior approval has not been obtained. 3. Air to air and air to ground frequencies with designated ground contacts need to be established with dispatch. All agencies will utilize the standard Air to Ground naming convention adopted by the Rocky Mountain Area in 2011. 4. Aircraft under contract with Wyoming State Forestry Division should be dispatched through CIDC. Zone dispatch will coordinate dispatches with the Wyoming State Forestry Duty Officers. 5. Helicopter use will be requested through the CIDC. See call list. G. ENFORCEMENT RESTRICTIONS AND CLOSURES 1. Fire Restrictions and/or Closures will be coordinated between the parties to this agreement to include initiating, implementing, and lifting. Reference Wyoming Interagency Fire Restriction Plan FIRE INVESTIGATIONS Each agency is responsible for investigating and taking appropriate action for all fires on lands under their jurisdiction. The initial attack Incident Commander will take all responsible precautions to preserve evidence found. H. FUEL MANAGEMENT AND PRESCRIBE FIRE CONSIDERATIONS 1. Fuel management and prescribed fire projects will be coordinated with the parties to this agreement. 2. Wildfires resulting from escaped prescribed fire incidents, at the direction or under the supervision of one of the agencies to this agreement, shall be the responsibility of that agency. All incident management costs, exclusive of reciprocal periods, shall be borne by the responsible party. The responsible agency on Federal lands shall be the jurisdictional agency. An agency may take appropriate suppression action when lands

under its protection responsibility are involved in or threatened by the fire. Such suppression action may be taken on its own initiative or at the request of the responsible agency. An agency may take appropriate suppression action, at the request of the responsible agency, when lands under its protection are not involved in or threatened by the fire. The responsible agency shall reimburse the other agencies for all suppression costs incurred in accordance with this clause. 3. Escaped prescribed fires ignited by individual(s) not party to this agreement will be considered as wildfires requiring suppression action under the terms and conditions of this agreement. 4. Agencies agree to share and reimburse, according to the rates established in exhibits C, D, E, and F for resources used on prescribed fire projects, based on availability, qualifications, and need. I. REIMBURSEMENTS BY PROTECTING AGENCY 1. An itemized bill (for example see exhibit B) and supporting documentation, for reimbursable services or services provided for prescribed fire will be provided to the protecting agency within 60 days after the fire is declared out. If the total cost is not known at the time of initial billing, a partial bill, so identified, may be submitted. A final bill, so identified, will be issued within six months after the fire is declared controlled. Bills will contain the protecting agency's fire number and name, resource order number, and inclusive dates. Billing for incidents within the State of Wyoming will be submitted to the local protecting host unit. The lead agency will be responsible for the final fire financial packet and coordination of payments. Only original invoices will be utilized for payment. Send bill to the agency representative listed in the directory. 2. In situations where a burn area encompasses land under the protection or jurisdictional responsibility of more than one agency, a cost share agreement will be implemented before billing. 3. Nothing herein shall prohibit any agency, on its own initiative and without notifying the protecting agency and without reimbursement, from going upon lands known to be protected by another agency to engage in suppression of wildfires, when such fires are a threat to lands within that agency's protection responsibility. 4. Salaries for Agency employees will be paid at the established rate in effect at the time of the fire. 5. Salaries for other than Agency employees will be applicable FF rate(s) established annually for Wyoming. (Exhibit F in the Wyoming Mini Fire Mobilization Plan) 6. All Agency equipment will be reimbursed at the rates established in Exhibit C of the Wyoming Mini Fire Mobilization Plan. 8

9 7. All supporting agencies shall be subject to examination and audit for three (3) years after final payment. J. GENERAL PROCEDURES 1. This plan becomes effective on the date signed by each agency. It may be terminated upon 20 days written notice from one party to the other. This plan will remain in effect until updated or terminated. Target date for annual update is April 15. Wyoming State Forestry Division will take the lead in getting this Plan prepared annually. 2. The agencies agree to requirements of the CIDC AOP. The agencies give authority to the CIDC to provide the services required in support of the centers charter and operating plan. For specifics, see the CIDC AOP. K. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 1. WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE PROTECTION Structural fire suppression is the responsibility of tribal or the local fire service entity. Keeping an approaching wildfire from reaching a structure may be the responsibility of any parties to this agreement depending upon the location of the wildfire and the chosen management strategy. Private Lands Cost associated with the protection of privately owned land and structures are the responsibility of the local fire service entity that has jurisdiction for the private property. Federal Lands w/private Structures - Costs associated with the protection of privately owned structures on federal lands are the responsibility of the local fire service entity that has jurisdiction for the private structures. Structure protection responsibilities of the local fire service entity include actions taken directly on the structure or the immediate area surrounding structure. The federal agencies will be responsible for costs associated with keeping the fire from reaching the structures Agencies that elect not to suppress an ignition with intent to manage the fire for resource benefits are responsible for the cost associated with that fire. This includes the cost of protecting private land, structures and infrastructure, as well as other State and Federal managed lands, unless negotiated otherwise with the other affected jurisdictions. For incidents that have an initial response objective of protection (suppression) and it is later determined that there is also an opportunity to effectively manage a portion of the incident for resource benefit objectives, agencies should follow the standard cost share principles and may need to develop additional cost share agreements based on changes in the situation and objectives.

The local fire service entity is responsible for developing structure protection plans and coordinating with the incident management team to implement the plan. This could include the local fire service entity preparing the plan themselves or working with the incident management team to obtain resources to prepare and implement the plan. The local fire service entity is responsible for determining any actions to be applied directly to a structure such as wrapping; applying foam, fire gels, or other retardants; sprinklers on roofs, etc. 10 2.

17 Wilderness Study Area(s) and Area(s) of Critical Environmental Concern Measures and Constraints A light hand on the land policy of fire suppression will be pursued on all fires in or threatening a WSA or ACEC that are on BLM administered lands. All fires in or threatening the WSA s and ACEC s, that are on BLM administered lands, will be handled using the appropriate management response. When fires are confirmed to be in a WSA or ACEC, BLM management will be contacted as soon as possible to determine the appropriate management response. When fires are confirmed to be on or threatening a WSA or ACEC, a resource adviser will be assigned to the incident to provide specific measures on the suppression effort to the Incident Commander.
