AUTHORITY: Wyoming Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement USDA Forest Service # 07-FI- 11020000-018, National Park Service #H1249070030 and USDI Bureau of Land Management # KAA 020003. B.

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, BLM, USFS, and NPS lands in Big Horn 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.
