PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. The Parties may cooperate in the development and implementation of Prescribed Fire plans. Mutually beneficial projects may be at no cost or Assistance by Hire where appropriate. Reimbursements will be governed in accordance with a Supplemental Project Agreement signed by each Party. In the event a wildfire results from Prescribed Burning operations, responsibility and accountability for the cost of suppression rest with the Party that has authority for igniting the burn as identified in the Rx Burn Plan. Parties will keep each other informed of Prescribed Fire operations.
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. Either PARTY will inform the other PARTY of prescribed fires it is managing. Support during a prescribed burn is not covered under this Agreement.

PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. The Agencies to this Agreement agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of fuels management programs, including the use of prescribed fire, whose primary intent is to reduce fire hazard through the use of supplemental project plans. Specifics for the cooperative use of and preparation for prescribed fire will be coordinated and documented as described in Exhibit F.
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. Fuels projects are funded, planned, conducted and reported based on individual agency policy. When the opportunity arises, the Parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of prescribed fire and fuels management programs. Any Party to this Agreement may provide assistance to another Party as requested and agreed to for the purposes of performing prescribed fire or other fuels management work.

PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. The Agencies agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of prescribed fire and fuels management activities in which the primary interest is to reduce hazardous fuels. Any Agency may provide assistance to another Agency as requested and agreed to for purposes of performing prescribed fire or other fuels management activities. Conditions of the assistance and details of reimbursement will be agreed to and documented in AOP’s or the Project and Financial Plan. See Exhibit F for a sample Project and Financial Plan. Any prescribed fire burning out of prescription is considered a wildfire. Wildfires resulting from escaped prescribed fires ignited by the Jurisdictional Agency will be the financial responsibility of that Jurisdictional Agency. The Protecting Agency will be responsible for the management of the fire. See Exhibit D item #5 Billing Procedures for Other Fire and Aviation Protection Activities.
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. The Parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of planned ignitions, prescribed fire and fuels management programs.

PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. Fuels treatments often span multiple jurisdictions and meet multiple resource goals with multiple funding sources. Agencies are encouraged to document strategies to cooperate with memorandums of understanding and fiscal arrangements through interagency agreements. Prescribed fires are planned, implemented, and reported according to individual agency policy. Minimum requirements for Federal Agencies are described in the Interagency Prescribed Fire Planning and Implementation Procedures Guide (xxxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/publications/484). Ignition of prescribed fire is subject to restriction based on National and Alaska Preparedness Levels. (Reference AIMG for Alaska Preparedness Level information.) It is the responsibility of the Jurisdictional Agency implementing a burn to notify the local Protecting Agency fire dispatch center (or AICC when local dispatch centers are closed) in a timely manner and provide them with information from the prescribed fire plan according to agency policy. This may be an incident action plan or the entire prescribed fire plan. Each day prior to ignition, the Burn Boss is responsible for ensuring that the local dispatch center (or AICC when the local dispatch center is closed) has a copy of the prescribed fire plan and that communications with the dispatch center (or with AICC when the local dispatch center is closed) are established and that the following information is transmitted: • Burn site point of contact and contact information • Burn location • Planned ignition time • Planned acreage • Request for extended hours (see below) • Contingency forces identified including location and contact information Each evening during the project, the Burn Boss will report acres burned to the dispatch center (or AICC when local dispatch centers are closed). Dispatch centers are responsible for notifying AICC that xxxxx are being implemented and for reporting xxxxx and acres to AICC so that the information may be included in the Daily Situation Report. Billing procedures and charge codes will be established prior to orders being placed and included in the project plan as described in Clause 21. Extended hours for the dispatch center will be negotiated prior to ignition. Costs may include required dispatch staffing beyond normal business hours, travel and transportation expenses, crew salaries, and other project expenses incurred by the Protecting Agency.
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FUELS MANAGEMENT. Signatories to this agreement will cooperate and collaborate in the development, prioritization, and implementation of fuels and vegetative management projects. The goals are to coordinate a sound, collaborative approach for reducing wildland fire risk to communities, and to restore and maintain land health within fire-prone areas. Vegetative management projects must be in accordance with objectives outlined in the National Fire Plan, Restoring Fire-Adapted Ecosystems on Federal Lands, the 10-Year Comprehensive Strategy, the Healthy Forest Initiative, and the Healthy Forest Restoration Act. The State and Federal Agencies agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of fuels management projects. Any Party to this Agreement may provide assistance to another Party as requested and agreed to for the purposes of performing prescribed fire and other fuels management. Conditions of the assistance and details related to reimbursement will be agreed to and documented in a separate agreement.

Smoke Management: Within their authorities, the Parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate in smoke management efforts. Structure Protection: The operational roles of the federal agencies as partners in the wildland urban interface are wildland firefighting, hazard reduction, cooperative prevention, education, and technical assistance. Structural fire suppression is the responsibility of tribal, state, or local governments. Federal agencies and KFS may assist with exterior structural fire protection activities under each agency’s authority. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): For Rural Fire Departments, PPE requirements will be defined within local jurisdictions. For rural fire personnel assisting Federal Agencies, appropriate fire retardant wildland PPE will be required as outlined in NFPA 1977. All Federal Agency fireline personnel, including those involved in initial attack during the mutual aid period, shall be equipped with personal protective equipment that meets standards identified in the Interagency Standards for Fire and Aviation Operations – NFES 2724 (Red Book) Chapter 7, including hard hat, eye protection, Nomex shirt and trousers, leather gloves, leather boots with lug soles (minimum 8 inch high) and a fire shelter.
