Equipment, Supplies and Cache items. There is recognition that wildland fire suppression will often involve the use of equipment, supplies and cache items. When equipment, supplies and cache items are checked out (such as pumps, hoses, nozzles, etc.), the receiving agency will be billed for replacement and/or refurbishing cost as appropriate. The Fire Cache has the ability to refurbish and repair many items, and will refurbish equipment for service as the first option. Items that are beyond cost effective repair will be replaced and the receiving agency will be billed for those costs. Equipment transported or operated by Supporting Agency personnel in transit to or from an incident is considered under the control of the Protecting Agency. Equipment damaged while under the control of the Protecting Agency will be repaired at the expense of the Protecting Agency unless damage occurred because of negligence by the Supporting Agency. When arrangements are made with a transportation service provider to deliver equipment, the Agency making arrangements for the transportation should ensure that the transportation service provider will be responsible for all loss and damage to equipment consigned on the xxxx of lading until received by the consignee.
