i. Utilize a spark arrestor of the chimney.

j. Place screens on foundation and vent eaves.

k. Post name/address signs which are clearly visible from the road.

l. Widen driveway and provide a turn-around space for emergency vehicles.

m. Develop outdoor water supply.

n. Practice a family fire drill and evacuation plan.

o. Make a list of items to take should evacuation be required.

2. When the Fire Occurs

a. DO NOT JEOPARDIZE YOUR LIFE!

b. Prepare to evacuate. Place all valuables in your vehicle, place keys in the ignition, close all windows, and park “heading out.”

c. Remove combustible items from around your home. (includes firewood, lawn furniture, hay bales, etc.)

d. Close or cover outside attic, eave and basement vents, and window shutters (if present.)

e. Connect garden hose to outside spigot. Utilize enough hose to reach the entire house, including the roof.

f. Place a ladder against the house opposite the side of the approaching fire.

g. If you have a combustible roof, place a lawn sprinkler on it. Do not turn on the water until the fire is very close.

h. Close all windows, chimney dampers, and doors. Leave exterior doors unlocked.

i. Turn on all exterior lights.

j. Shut off gas at the meter/tank.

k. Remove lace, nylon or “light” material curtains from all windows and sliding glass doors.

B. Subdivision/Homeowner Actions:

1. In conjunction with Chaffee County Fire Protection District (CCFPD), place and maintain on Fire Danger Sign at the intersection of County Road 240 and Highway 50.

2. Develop and maintain Defensible Space around the following:

• Electrical transformer boxes.

• Telephone service boxes.

• All utility poles.

3. Encourage homeowners to develop Defensible Space around individual homes.

4. Encourage homeowners to sign their driveway with their name/address.

5. Notify all new residents of wildfire hazard and supply each with appropriate hazard mitigation material available through the Upper Arkansas Valley Wildfire Council.

C. Fire Department Actions.

2. Ensure that wildland fire tools are maintained on each piece of equipment.

3. Develop and maintain a 10-person wildland fire cache, in addition to each pice of equipment.

4. Formalize agreements for water use from the appropriate owner.

5. Ensure each firefighter has wildland Personal Protective Equipment and has received proper and appropriate training.

6. Become familiar with the County Wildfire Annual Operating Plan.

7. Host periodic “Wildfire Awareness/Hazard Mitigation” meetings within the homeowners groups.

8. Encourage development of alternative water sources and Defensible Space.

D. Sheriff’s Department Actions

1. Obtain enough copies of the Wildfire Hazard Evaluation Map to vehicle and in each station.

2. Conduct “familiarization” drills within each part of the project area once per year.

3. Facilitate acceptance/use of the County Wildfire Annual Operating Plan.

E. Fire Modes/Responsibilities:

Colorado Incident Command System mode numbers are used to describe the degree of mobilization occurring in response to a fire situation. Dispatchers and/or on-scene commanders announce various modes as they see a situation change.

Mode 1 – Routine operations. The pre-planned fire agency response is adequate; there is no significant impact on local resources, and no alert notification of other response agencies is required.

Responsibilities –

1. Responding agency provides IC.

2. IC may perform as Operations and Planning Chief

Mode 2 – Multiple routine fires or single larger fire. No significant impact on local resources, but mutual aid may be required. Local Incident Management Group (IMG) may be notified.

Responsibilities –

1. Principal response agency will provide IC.

2. Staging Area will be activated to manage in-coming mutual aid responders.

3. Command post is designated.

Mode 3 – Multiple mutual aid fires or large threatening fire which will soon/already has exceeded the capabilities/capacities of on-scene personnel and equipment. Limited notification/mobilization of County and State resources. Local IMG is required.

Responsibilities –

1. Decision made whether or not to open Emergency Operating Center.

2. The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) fire duty officer will be notified.

3. IC will be the most qualified individual, not necessarily from principal response agency.

Mode 4 – Situation exceeds available county resources and requires substantial mobilization of out-of-county, State and/or Federal resources. Preparation is made to transfer command to an Interagency Incident Management Team. Implementation of State Emergency Fire Fund and/or other disaster assistance is imminent.

Responsibilities –

1. EOC is functional.

2. CSFS personnel are on-scene.

F. Alarm Response:

H. Structure Defense:

1. General Guidelines

a. Always stay mobile.

b. Back your engine in so you can get out fast.

c. Coil a short 1 ½” charged line with a fog nozzle for safety and quick knock down.

d. Don’t make long hose lays…generally no more than 200’.

e. Check roads for clear escape routes before the fire hits.

f. Triage each structure according to the following:

a. Eliminate the hopeless – Forget those that are impossible to defend or too dangerous to try, and leave those already involved.

b. Ignore the unnecessary – Avoid those needing little or no protection.

c. Deal with the rest – Concentrate on seriously threatened by savable structures.

g. Check and mark any hazardous materials (ie. propane.)

h. Move wood piles hay bales, etc. away from structures.

i. Close windows, shutters, and doors.

j. Coil and charge garden hoses.

k. Place owner’s ladder at a corner of the home least threatened by the fire.

l. Leave home lights on inside and out, day and night.

m. Build line (hand or wet) and burn out.

n. If a home becomes well involved, LEAVE IT and move on to one you can save.

o. ALWAYS wear your SAFETY GEAR.

p. Firefighter safety and survival is always the number one priority.

2. Triage Considerations

a. Safety Considerations – review all Watch-Out Situations.

b. Access Considerations – ingress/egress; turnarounds; fuels tight against R.O.W.; etc.

c. Fire behavior – both current and expected.

d. Estimated and apparent hazards.

e. Types of fuel – including the structures themselves.

f. Personnel and equipment resources – on-site, en route, and available.
