B_l Introduction:
This Operational Plan is created and intended to be an integral part of the current
Riverside County Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (1988) and the State of California
Fire and Rescue Emergency Plan (9/88).
B_2 Goals:
To address general procedures for fire suppression and related rescue operations
during natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense emer-
agencies.
To meet the anticipated needs of all Riverside County fire agencies by accessing
all needed resources within the County, Region VI, the State, or beyond, when
necessary. (See Mutual Aid, Enclosure 1-3, Part One, of Riverside M13FP.)
To provide fire and rescue resources in sufficient strength to effectively manage
emergencies occurring, or likely to occur, within cooperating fire agency
jurisdictions.
B_3 Obiectives:
B.3.1 The overall objectives of Riverside County Fire Department
fire and rescue operations in the unincorporated County areas
and its contract cities will be to:
Mobilize and deploy fire resources and coordinate fire suppression and
related rescue operations.

II_6 Planning Basis:
Riverside County Fire Department members and County fire and rescue agencies
should understand the emergency fire and rescue operations in the County and
State.
Fire and rescue officials must plan emergency operations to ensure efficient
utilization of available resources.
Basic to California's emergency planning is a local and area wide system of
mutual aid, in which each local jurisdiction relies fast upon its own resources and
then those resources of others within its Area, its Region, then the State of
California, or beyond, when necessary.
A formal mutual aid structure is necessary for the mutual sharing of resources.
Annex B -Page 3
Riverside County Fire and Rescue Nfutual Aid
No party shall be required to unreasonably deplete its own resources in fur-
nishing mutual assistance.
The responsible local official in whose jurisdiction an incident requiring mutual
aid has occurred, shall remain in charge of that incident, including the command
of personnel and equipment provided through mutual aid plans.
County-wide and local mutual aid operational plans shall be developed by the
parties thereto and are operative between the parties thereto in accordance with
such mutual aid plans.
The mutual aid extended under this operational plan, as adopted pursuant to the
Riverside County Mutual Aid Agreement, shall be without reimbursement unless
otherwise expressed to the requesting parties to the mutual aid agreement, at the
time of the request, or by prior agreement between the requesting and providing
agencies.
The State is divided into six mutual aid regions to facilitate the coordination of
mutual aid. Riverside County is in Region VI.
In addition to fire and rescue resources, emergency operations plans should
include both public and private agencies with support capabilities and/or
emergency operational responsibilities.
Emergency operations plans should be distributed to, and discussed with,
management, command, operational and support level personnel within each
planning jurisdiction.
Emergency operations plans must be continuously reviewed, revised, and tested
to encompass change and refinement consistent with experience gained through
disaster operations and training, and changes in resource availability.
Emergency operations plans are to reviewed, revised, and updated at least every
five years.
B.77 Emergency Management
During either peacetime or nuclear defense emergencies, fire and rescue
operations will be conducted by: county or city fire departments, fire districts,
or agencies normally providing fire protection as a secondary function (e.g.,
County Water Districts, Public Utility Districts, Municipal Utility Districts, etc.),
private fire services, California Department of Forestry, and any federal agencies
having firefighting capabilities and functions relevant to the situation.
Annex B - Page 4
Riverside Count Fire and Rescue 11utual Aid
To assure the maximum efficiency in the use of fire resources, the Incident
Command System (ICS) will be employed by the Riverside County Fire
Department for the on-scene management of facilities, equipment, personnel,
procedures, and communications.
ICS will also be used in all mutual aid emergencies for the command and
coordination of all fire and rescue resources.
13_8 Phases of Emergency Management
Most fire departments are normally separated into suppression (putting out the
fire or emergency) and prevention. The fire department of the twenty-first
century needs to concern itself with four distinct areas of management. Based on
a comprehensive emergency management program, the fire department needs to
plan in four specific phases in the operation of its system:
B.8.1 Mitigation
Mitigation activities are those that reduce the probability or limit the effects of an
emergency or disaster. They often take the form of regulations, ordinances, and
similar initiatives that achieve prevention through engineering, enforcement, or
education.
Fire and building codes and sprinkler ordinances are examples of disaster
prevention through mitigation activities. The fire service can consider other
options as well. Floodplain management and other aspects of land use planning
Are areas for greater fire service involvement. By taking part in land use
planning decisions, the fire department can influence actions that will later
determine the risk to the community from man-made and natural hazards as well
as the capability of the department to protect the community from these hazards.
Hazardous materials is another area in which increased mitigation is needed.
Like fire prevention, mitigation in hazardous materials storage and transportation
means increasing safety and reducing excessive risks; educating the public as well
as those directly involved in handling hazardous materials; and enforcement,
which may include restricting and monitoring storage and shipment.
Review hazard/vulnerability analysis to determine the County's
classification as either hazard or reception area; assess fire station
Annex B - Page 5
40
Riverside County Fire and Rescue l�tufual Aid
locations in relation to hazardous areas, and take appropriate steps, as
necessary.
B.8.2 Preparedness
Preparedness activities include planning, training, team-building and improving
any aspect of the fire department's ability to respond. Planning how to respond
when the emergency or disaster occurs and training response personnel are
critical to the fire department's operation. Developing standard operating
procedures (SDP's) during this phase accomplishes both training and team-
building. This phase also includes increasing the resources available and
improving their effectiveness. Preparedness activities are designed to help save
lives and minimize damage by preparing people to respond appropriately when
an emergency is imminent or occurs. This preparedness also applies to the
educating the public. To properly respond, fire departments must have a plan,
trained personnel, and the necessary resources clearly identified.
The following are typical Preparedness activities:
8 During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans,
standard operating procedures (SDP's) and checklists detailing the
disposition of resources in an emergency. Such plans and procedures will
provide for coordination and communication channels with counterpart
agencies and organizations of other jurisdictions. Resource listings will
also be prepared and maintained current.
® Establish mutual aid agreements.
0 Establish warning systems or review and upgrade existing warning plans.
• Test warning devices.
0 Train personnel for disaster operations.
0 Train personnel for mutual aid operations.
0 Maintain equipment.
® Prepare plans to care for families of fire department personnel under
emergency conditions while personnel are on duty.
Annex B -Page 6
Riverside County Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid 4 0,9
® Develop communication interaction with the County E.O.0 and local
E.O.C's.
® Review and update auxiliary equipment and personnel.
Develop command system to facilitate coordination and communication
between the fire service and other elements of emergency response
forces.
® Participate in the development and implementation of jurisdiction wide
emergency preparedness exercises.
Train E.O.C. personnel in fire safety and fire suppression, and provide
for fire safety of E.O.C. facility.
Increased readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans,
SOP's and resource information, accelerating training programs,
inspecting equipment, and taking other feasible measures_ Necessary
actions will also be taken to mobilize available resources, to include
auxiliaries and reserves.
B.8.3 Response
Response activities include warning, firefighting, EMS, rescue and other on-scene
operations, and evacuation. Response activities are designed to provide
emergency assistance to victims, protect property, and reduce the likelihood of
secondary damage. The fire department, police department, ambulance personnel,
public works personnel, emergency medical services, and other emergency
support services are primary responders, but the response phase includes all
services that reduce casualties and damage and/or speed recovery. During this
phase the public must be kept informed as to what is going on and what to do.
The following are typical Response activities:
0 Take appropriate countermeasures to protect people should Riverside
County be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a
health-endangering hazardous material incident, or nuclear attack. Fire
and rescue personnel could be involved in assisting law enforcement
personnel in moving persons from potentially hazardous areas to safer
reception areas, and assisting them, as required, in implementing access
control plans for vacated or threatened areas.
Annex B -Page 7
Riverside County Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid 401�
Establish communications and report damage observed.
0 Control fires by priority.
® Call for mutual aid forces, as needed.
Perform rescue efforts.
Assist in detailed damage assessment activities.
0 Perform radiological functions as assigned.
0 Control hazardous materials by priority.
0 Support the County Fire Command Center and County E.O.C. as
required.
0 Provide fire support to established mass care facilities.
0 Inspect shelter sites for fire safety, provide and maintain shelter fire
extinguishers, and train shelter in fire safety and fire suppression.
Monitor E.O_C. for fire safety.
® Designate staging area(s) for mutual aid and volunteer forces responding
from outside the jurisdiction.
B.8.4 Recovery
Recovery consists of both short-term and long-term activities. This continues
until all systems of the fire department are returned to minimum operating
standards. Short term activities include overhaul at the scene, rehabilitation of
emergency personnel, restoration of vital services such as food supply, temporary
shelter, and restoration of utilities. Long-term recovery may include crisis
counseling, damage assessment, public education and information, and application
for disaster grants and/or loans.
The following are typical Recovery activities:
® Conduct fire inspections.
0 Perform decontamination functions.
Annex B -Page 9
Riverside County Fire and Rescue ilNtutual Aid
® Extinguish remaining fires.
Establish fire watches.
® Identify potential fire hazards, such as damaged gas lines and downed
power lines.
Survey damage to fire equipment and facilities.
® Compile record of events.
® Review fire codes in relation to the disaster and recommend
improvements where necessary.
® Inspect repair and construction work for fire safety. Monitor all
demolition operations.
Figure B.1 shows how a jurisdiction's hazards or risks determine the fire
department system it needs to provide and how those hazards interrelate with the
phases of management. All fire department services are driven by demand --
mostly by potential demand, though fire departments and other organizations that
intervene after an emergency has occurred are also affected by actual or realized
demands. The nature of those demands and the ways they shape fire department
needs are major management and planning considerations.

B_9 Concept of Mutual Aid Operations:
B.9.1 Mutual Aid
Mutual Aid is an agreement in which two or more parties agree to furnish
resources and facilities and to render services to each and every other party of
the agreement to prevent and combat any type of disaster or emergency.
In addition to this County Mutual Aid Operational Plan, local needs should be
resolved through development of local automatic or mutual aid agreements.
Annex B - Page 10
- ` 1409
Riverside County Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid
B.9.1.1 /voluntary Mutual Aid
Mutual aid is voluntary when an agreement is initiated either verbally or
in writing. When in writing, which is preferable, conditions may be
enumerated as to what and how much of a department's resources may be
committed. The fire chief or other person in charge of a fire protection
organization shall, in every case of requested aid, determine the limit of
assistance which his organization can render without depleting fire or
rescue protection resources, personnel and equipment for the area where
his primary responsibility exists and shall not be required to furnish aid in
excess of the amount so determined. Once aid has been given, the
assisting agency has the prerogative to recall such aid whenever it is vital
to the fire defense of said community after advising the using agency.
B.9.1.2 Obligatory Mutual Aid
Mutual aid under a "State of War Emergency" shall be deemed
obligatory. Mutual aid under a "State of Emergency" may be obligatory
(Emergency Services Act, 1970).
B.9.1.3 Master Mutual Aid Agreement
An agreement made with and entered into by and between the State of
California, its various departments and agencies, and the various political
subdivisions, municipal corporations, and other public agencies of the
State of California to facilitate implementation of Chapter 7 of Division 2
of Title 2 of the Government Code entitled "California Emergency
Services Act."
B.9.2 Mobilization Plan
Fire and rescue mutual aid, rendered pursuant to the Riverside County Mutual
Aid Agreement for Fire Departments and the California Master Mutual Aid
Agreement, is based upon incremental and progressive system of mobilization.
Mobilization plans have been based on the concept of providing the local fire and
rescue authority sufficient resources, without extraordinary depletion of fire
defenses outside of the area of disaster. Under normal conditions, fire mutual aid
plans are activated in ascending order; i.e., Local, Area (County), Region
(Region VI), and Inter-Region (State). Circumstances may prevail which make
mobilization of significant fire defense forces from within the area or region of
disaster impractical and imprudent. Inter-regional mutual aid is, therefore, not
contingent upon mobilization of uncommitted resources within the region of the
disaster.
Annex B - Page 11

Riverside County Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid
B.9.3 Resources:
B.9.3.1 Local Fire and Rescue Resources
Local fire and rescue resources include resources available through
automatic and/or day-to-day mutual aid agreements with neighboring
jurisdictions. Local mobilization plans are activated by requests to
participating agencies and must provide for notification of the Operational
Area Fire and Rescue Coordinator upon activation. The Operational Area
Fire and Rescue Coordinator shall be notified of those committed
resources in order to determine resource availability for subsequent
response.
B.9.3.2 Operational Area Fire and Rescue Resources
Operational Area fire and rescue resources are those which are made
available to a participating agency through the approved and adopted
Riverside County Mutual Aid Agreement. Mobilization of Operational
Area resources is activated by the Operational Area Fire and Rescue
Coordinator, or his representative, in response to a request for assistance
from an authorized fire official of the participating agency in need. The
Area Coordinator must notify the Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinator
of all area resources committed.
B.9.3.3 Regional Fire and Rescue Resources
Regional fire and rescue defense resources include all resources available
to a participating agency through the approved and adopted Regional Fire
and Rescue Mutual Aid Plan. Operational Area plans are significant
elements of the regional plans.
Mobilization of regional fire and rescue resources is directed by the
Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinator in response to a request for
assistance from an Area Fire and Rescue Coordinator. Regional Fire and
Rescue Coordinators must notify the Chief, OES Fire and Rescue
Division, of resources committed.
B.9.4 Dispatch Centers:
Fire and rescue dispatch centers must be carefully selected and be adequately
equipped for emergency operations. They should be located in a facility which
conducts 24-hour a day operations. They must be equipped to permit direct
communications with all fire and rescue service agencies within their area of
operations. They must be staffed with competent personnel and equipped with
Annex B - Page 12
Riverside Coun ty Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid
such maps, charts, records and operational data as are necessary to perform
emergency operations. Alternate Fire and Rescue Dispatch Centers should have
the same capability as primary centers, thus ensuring continued operations in the
event of failure of the primary centers.
B.10 Mutual Aid System of Riverside Count
Riverside County Fire Department currently operates in three (3) divisions:
Western Division, Central Division, and Eastern Division. See Enclosure B-2 for
specific areas covered by each Division.
For mutual aid purposes, the following jurisdictions are also added to these
Divisions and become the Mutual Aid System based on geographic area with the
exception of the jurisdictions which operate OES engines:
Western Division: Central Division:
Corona Fire Department Banning Fire Department
Norco Fire Department Hemet Fire Department
Riverside City Fire Department Idyllwild FPD
Murrieta FPD
San Jacinto Fire Department
Eastern Division: OES Division:
Blythe Fire Department Banning Fire Department
Cathedral City Fire Department Cathedral City Fire Department
Coachella FPD Corona Fire Department
Indio Fire Department Indio Fire Department
Palm Springs Fire Department Riverside City Fire Department
B.11 Organization and Responsibilities:
To ensure that all requests for mutual aid are handled expediently, it is necessary
to follow established procedures. Figures B.2 and B.3 are the organizational
charts for the Fire and Rescue Service Organization for a "Local Emergency"
and "State of Emergency." Figure BA illustrates the channels for requesting fire
and rescue mutual aid resources.

B-4.2 How to Apply the County Numbering System:
Each fire station within the County has been assigned a distinct number.
Each piece of equipment has been assigned a distinct plain language
designator.See Attachment B-4-A. Additional like equipment in the
same station will have an alphabetical letter starting with "A" placed
behind the equipment number indicating that there is like equipment
within that station. Reserve equipment will have the alphabetical letter
"R" placed behind the equipment number indicating the equipment's status
and station assignment.
Examples:
Proposed Existing
"Station 803" Corona Fire Station 3
"Engine 803' Corona Engine 3
Enclosure B-4, Page 2
Enclosure B-4, Resource Designations
'Truck 803' Corona Truck 3

"Quick Attack 601' Banning Quick Attack 1
'Rescue 601' Banning Rescue 1
'Station 441' Palm Springs Station 1
"Engine 441" Palm Springs Engine 121
"Squad 441' Palm Springs Squad I
Administration:
Administrative staff would use the current agency number assignment but
would be placed in one thousand block designations. However, all staff
will still use a plain language designator along with the number
assignment.

"Division 8305" Riverside City Division Chief
B-4.3 Statewide Mutual Aid Resource Designation System:
In order to rapidly and accurately identify grouped (strike team - task
force) resources used on multi-agency incidents throughout California, it
is necessary to have a standard resource designation system. To ensure
standardized designation, this system is included in both Incident
Command System (ICS) and Multi-Agency Coordination System
(MACS).
Enclosure B-4, Page 3
- . JAB
Enclosure B-4, Resource Designations
Rasic System Desien:
® Three (3) letter designators for individual agencies and mutual
aid operational areas.
® Four (4) digit "block numbering" for six (6) mutual aid regions
with sub-blocks for operational areas and agencies capable of
fielding grouped resources.
0 Permanently assigned block numbers will allow for identification
of mutual aid region, operational area or single agency, and
numbering of grouped resources without duplication of numbers.
® Alphabetical lettering is used to identify kind and type of strike
teams.
6 System is compatible for manual or computer recording.
Definition of Terms:
Single Resources -- Single resources are any single fire
suppression resource. Example: Crew, engine, dozer, helicopter,
etc. A single resource is considered fully operational if it has a
minimum number of personnel, equipment, etc.
Task Force -- A Task Force is any group of resources
temporarily assembled to perform a specific mission. Single
resources put into Task Forces will have common
communications and a leader. Task Forces formed by agency or
area dispatch centers will be designated from block numbers. If
formed at the incident, they will be designated by incident name
(i.e., "Sage TF 1"). Task Forces will be disassembled when the
need no longer exists.
® Strike Team -- Strike Team is a group composed of a set
number of the same kind and type of resources, common
communications and a leader. Strike Teams may be assembled by
a Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinator, Operational Area Fire
and Rescue Coordinator, agency dispatch centers or at the
incident. Strike Teams will be released when no longer needed
and returned as a unit to the incident, area or department from
which they were formed.
0 Three-Letter Designators --'All fire departments, agencies
and mutual aid operational areas in California have been assigned
a three-letter designator.
Enclosure B-4, Page 4
Enclosure B-4, Resource Designations
Resource Numbers:
Single Resources - Will always use their agency assigned
equipment number or in the case of a crew, it may be a
crew name and number.
O Strike Teams - Strike Teams will be assigned numbers
from a block of numbers pre-established for each
operational area or agency. These numbers will be
assigned sequentially.
® Mutual Aid Regions -- The 58 counties in California are
divided into six (6) mutual aid regions. Such regions are
common to all emergency services. Each has a designated Region
Fire and Rescue Coordinator and dispatch center.
0 Operational Area (Mutual Aid Area) -- Each county in
California is an "Operational Area" with a designated Fire and
Rescue Coordinator. Exception: Los Angeles County has seven
(7) operational areas identified alphabetically A through G.
California Department of Forestry Administrative
Regions -- The California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (CDF) has divided the 58 counties into four (4)
regions and twenty-three (23) ranger units. CDF region numbers
will be used with their three-letter identifier to designate their
resources.
Forming and Designating Strike Teams and Task Forces:
Strike Teams or Task Forces can be formed and designated in the
following ways:
® By a Single Agency (agency owned resources) -- The agency
three-letter designator will precede the agency's block number.
® Mixed Agency -- Local resources formed by Operational Area
Fire and Rescue Coordinators will be designated with respective
operational area three-letter identification and block number.
NOTE: Mixed federal and state forestry resources may be
designated by either agency as a discretionary decision.
® State OES Resources -- These will be formed and designated by
Operational Area or Region Fire and Rescue Coordinators.
Three-letter "OES" designator will precede block numbers.
NOTE: OES and local resources should not be mixed.
® Mixed Operational Area -- Local resources formed from two (2)
or more operational areas will be designated with the three-letter
identifier and a block number of the operational areas from
Enclosure B-4, Page 5
Enclosure B-4, Resource Designations
which the leader is selected or the operational area from which
the greatest number of component resources are supplied.
® Out-of-State Resources -- Resources imported from out-of-state,
(i.e., federal agencies or private resources) will be designated by
the agency which procures them.
By a Combination of Administrative Units within the Same
Agency:
CDF - Combined resources of two (2) or more ranger
units will be identified by the CDF region office and
which block numbers are to be used.
0 U.S. Forest Service - Combined resources of two (2) or
more forests will be identified by the forest forming the
strike team using its designator and block numbers.
0 OES - OES or local resources formed from two (2) or
more mutual aid regions will be identified by Sacramento
OES Headquarters with OES designator and block
numbers.
• At the Incident -- Strike Teams or Task Forces assembled at the
incident will be identified by the incident name, for radio call,
and sequentially numbered beginning with 1.
Assigning Strike Team/Task Force Numbers:
The Resource Designation System utilizes the block numbering concept.
All numbers include four (4) digits followed by a single letter (i.e., 1234-
A). Numbers and letter indicate: mutual aid region, agency or
operational area, individual group numbers, kind and type resources.
NOTE: Circumstances dictate a modification for CDF.
® Block Numbers -- The six (6) mutual aid regions will consist of
six blocks of 1000 numbers each:
Example: Mutual Aid Region I - 1000 to 1999
Sub-blocks (i.e., 1000 to 1099) may be assigned to operational
area or large single agency such as L.A. City Fire Department,
thus, four (4) digits such as 1001 reflect:
LFD 1 0 01 A
area or region area or grouped kind and
agency agency response #1 type
Enclosure B-4, Page 6
- - W9
Enclosure B-4, ResourceDesignatlons
Any series of numbers within a region block becomes
synonymous with the area or department to which it is assigned.
Block Numbers -- CDF
Because CDF utilizes a four (4) digit resources numbering system
on a daily basis within its administrative regions, mutual aid
region block numbers might be duplicated. Thus, CDF will
utilize a modified block number in the 9000 series statewide.
Example: 9100 - 9199 block assigned to CDF Region 1.
CDF 9 1 1 1 C
area or CDF CDF Ranger Grouped kind
agency region # unit res. # & type
NOTE: CDF region will assign block numbers to individual
ranger units. CDF will utilize blocks 9100, 9200, 9300, and 9400
for their region designation. This leaves 9000, and 9500 through
9900 blocks not allocated.
® Strike Teams Alphabetical Lettering - Kind and Type:
Kind and type of resources (identified in ICS 020-1 Resource
Designation Listing) are identified by a single letter following
block numbers, (i.e., LFD ST 1001-A).
A - Engine type 1 G - Crew type 1 K - Dozer type 1
B - Engine type 2 H - Crew type 2 L - Dozer type 2
C - Engine type 3 1 - Crew expansion M - Dozer type 3
D - Engine type 4 J - Crew expansion N - Dozer expansion
E - Engine expansion O - Dozer expansion
F - Engine expansion
Three-Letter Designator vs. Radio Call Sign -- The primary
purpose of the three-letter designator is to identify agency or area
resources.
Examples:
Recorded Designator: XOR ST 1400 - A
Radio Call: "Orange area strike team fourteen hundred-A"
Recorded Designator: OES ST 1800 - A
Radio Call: "OES strike team eighteen hundred-A"
Enclosure B-4, Page 7
Enclosure B-4, Resource Designations
Reassign ing Resources
Reassignment of resources from one incident to another can be done with
the consent of the agency's owning the resources. OES resources may be
reassigned by consent of Operational Area, Region or State Fire and
Rescue Coordinator, respectively. The Agency reassigning resources
will be responsible for updating the Fire Information Management
System (FIMS).
Use of Sequential Numbers:
Initial numbering of grouped resources will be assigned sequentially from
the mutual aid area or individual agency block of numbers. It is
recommended that numbers not be re-used on any single incident or
during a period of multi-incident activity. Example: A strike team may
be formed and numbered for a specific incident than demobilized and
released. Re-use of that number during the same period of activity might
cause confusion. During a period of high activity, it is recommended that
all numbers in any block be used before recycling sequential numbers.

FROM: C. Richard Aronson, Chief
Fire and Rescue Division
SUBJECT: COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT - REIMBURSEMENT FOR FOREST AGENCY FIRES
Attached is the new forest agency cooperative agreement which will
be in effect from July 1, 1990 to July 1, 1993.
A significant change to the body of the agreement is the addition of
Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service as parties.to
the agreement.
Exhibit I, item #2 and Exhibit II, item #3 have been changed to
reflect the new personnel rates for 1990 ( $519 per 24 hour shift) .
Exhibit I, item 14, and Exhibit I1, item #7 have been clarified by
simply stating that a request for Type I engine in itself authorizes
payment for a 4th person on the crew.
Exhibit 1, item #5 and Exhibit II, item #8 address the agency
representative issue. Agency Reps will not be reimbursed without an
Order/Request number. The solution is to request an Order/Request
number from the forest agency or send the agency rep as a Strike
Team (or Assistant) Leader.
Legal review prompted a re-wording of Exhibit I, item #10 and
Exhibit II, item #12. Reference to "extraordinary" damage claim
procedures was removed. However, this does not mean that claims
cannot be filed. In the future, if the damage is thought to be
caused by the fact of the apparatus being on the fire, is not due to
normal wear and tear, driver error, or previous condition, a claim
may be filed by requesting claims forms or directions from:
CDF FIRES: State Board of Control
926 J Street, Suite 300
Sacramento, CA 95814
USFS FIRES: Administrative Officer of the Forest Unit where the fire
occurred. Contact DES for address.

DEPARTMENT CAN BEST PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM APPARATUS DAMAGE BY RESPONDING
WELL MAINTAINED APPARATUS (WITH GOOD TIRES) DRIVEN BY EXPERIENCED, WELL
TRAINED PERSONNEL WHO CAN COPE WITH SEVERE AND UNUSUAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
Inasmuch as local jurisdictions pay for cost incurred responding and
returning from an incident, department credit cards are recommended,
especially for long distance responses.
A very important issue is wildland fire fighting clothing and
equipment. Although mutual aid units are primarily utilized for
structural protection, they are in the environment of wildland fire,
and in some cases, they will directly combat the vegetation fire.
Consequently, all personnel must be equipped as required by OSHA.
Forest agencies have the right to reject improperly clothed and
equipped personnel .
OSHA requires the following approved wildland personal protection:
Helmets
Eye protection
Ear and neck protection
Shirt and trousers
Gloves
Boots
Fire shelters
A copy of the appropriate section of the California Code of
Regulation, Title 8 is attached for further details.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact this office or
your DES Fire Coordinator.

OES/CDF/USFS/BLM/NPS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Where do we get the F-42 Claims Forms?
A. They are included in Strike team leader kits; and , DES Coordinators
carry a large supply in their cars for distribution at fires. They
are also available from OES Fire and Rescue Division, Sacramento;
and the OCC in Riverside.
Q. Can we use CDF Form 33's or other forest agency forms?
A. No. Only the OES Form 42 is accepted.
Q. How is PERSONNEL TIME computed?
A. The personnel "clock" starts 12 hours after leaving quarters. The
first 12 hours is free, under the principal of mutual aid. However,
you are credited with a full half-shift for your last 12 hour
activity period.
Q. How is "APPARATUS TIME" computed?
A. The apparatus "clock" begins immediately upon leaving quarters, but
for maximum of 16 hours per day. There is no charge for DES engines
and support vehicles. Local government engine time is computed to
the minute.
Q. How should the reimbursement for volunteers be distributed?
A. This is entirely up to the individual department. Prevailing
practices throughout the state vary from A to Z.
However, the U. S. Dept. of Labor is of the opinion that volunteers
receiving reimbursement must be treated as employees. DES Fire and
Rescue Division is working with the Labor Dept. to find a mechanism
which will avoid the overhead expenses of treating volunteers as
employees.
Q. What causes slow payments?
A. There are a variety of reasons:
1. Form 42's not immediately forwarded to DES.
2. Errors on F-42's.
3. Incorrect address for invoices.
4. Delayed return of signed invoices (F-142-1) to DES.
5. Not taking prompt action on certification for payment.
6. Backlogged forest agency accounting staffs,
7. State Controller's Office (7-21 days to write a

(AUTOMATIC AID)
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS Riverside County - MOU for
Automatic Aid re fires
AND AGREEMENT #1409 (Orig 9-6-78)
Res 12757, 8-16-78
COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE
This Agle is made and entered into this �� day of September, 1978,
by and between COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE (hereinafter called COUNTY) and
the CITY OF PALM S11RINGS (hereinafter called CITY) .
14ITNESSETH :
FIRST, a mutual aid zone is hereby established as encom-
passed by the checkerboard and slashline areas on the map marked
Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. The checkerboard areas designate those areas in which
the CITY is the agency responsible for fire protection and responding
to emergency calls. The slashline areas designate those areas in
which the COUNTY is the agency responsible for fire protection and
responding to emergency calls.
SECOND, within this mutual aid zone CITY and COUNTY agree
to respond as hereinafter provided to control reported fires and
answer emergency service calls. COUNTY will respond to reported
structure fires and emergency service calls within the checkerboard
areas with its nearest engine company or squad. CITY will respond
to reported structure fires within the slashline areas with its
nearest engine company and squad and will respond to other emergency
service calls within the slashline areas with its nearest engine or
squad.
THIRD, upon receipt of an alarm involving the mutual aid zone
by CITY, CITY will dispatch the required engine company and/or squad
and shall immediately notify COUNTY of the alarm. Upon receipt of
an alarm involving the mutual aid zone by COUNTY, COUNTY will dis-
patch the required engine company and/or squad and shall immediately
notify CITY of the alarm.
FOURTH, the agency which has primary responsibility for
fire protection in the area involved will direct all operations and
support activities and request such additional assistance as is
needed, provided however, in the event the emergency occurs along
the border or between the two areas of primary responsibility the
first agency to arrive at the scene will direct all operations and
support activities and request such additional assistance as is need-
ed.
FIFTH, it is mutually understood and agreed that this agree-
ment does not relieve either party from the necessity and obligation
of providing adequate fire protection within their own jurisdictions.
SIXTH, no party to this agreement shall be required to pay
any compensation to the other party to this agreement for mutual aid
rendered hereunder the mutual advantages and protection afforded
by this agreement being considered adequate compensation to all parties,
provided, however, that expenses incurred by CITY and COUNTY for
contract equipment or any extraordinary or special supplies resulting
from action on joint fires will be subject to negotiation by CITY
and COUNTY.
SEVENTH, the extent of aid to be furnished under this agree-
ment shall be determined solely by the party furnishing such aid,
and it is understood that the aid so furnished may be recalled at
the sole discretion of the furnishing agency.

EIGHTH, this agreement shall not be construed as or deemed
to be an agreement for the benefit of any third party of parties, and
no third party or parties shall have any right of action hereunder
for any cause whatsoever. Any services performed or expenditures
made in connection with furnishing mutual aid under this agreement
by any party hereto shall be deemed conclusively to be for the direct
protection and benefit of the inhabitants and property of such party.
NINTH, each of the parties to this agreement do hereby
expressly waive all claims against every other party for compensation
for any loss, damage, personal injury or death occurring in consequency
of the non-reimbursable performance of this agreement.
TENTH, each party shall provide, at its sole expense, the
Worker' s Compensation insurance coverage necessary for its own
employees. It is recognized that at such times as one party provides
aid to the other pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the employees
of one may be contended to have become special employees of the other
temporarily; and should this result in any Worker's Compensation
claims being asserted it is hereby agreed that each such claim shall
be the responsibility and liability of the general employer to pro-
cess, defend and pay, if necessary; and each party agrees to assume
such responsibility as to its own general employees and to hold the
oth=r party harmless as to such claims where said other party is only
a special employer.
ELEVENTH, CITY and COUNTY agree to hold each other mutually
harmless from all loss, liability or claim because of, or arising out
of the acts or omissions of each party' s performance of this agree-
ment.
TWELFTH, each party shall have the right to terminate this
agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other party
and specifying the effective date thereof.
THIRTEENTH, any notices required to be given under this
agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all
purposes if mailed, postage prepaid, to the following addresses:
