SFD Firefighters Return From Mobilization
Incident #: 2011029361 Date of Incident: 7/26/2011 Issuing Officer: AC Schaeffer
Narrative:
Spokane Fire Department resources have returned from a short deployment to assist Lincoln County Fire District 3 with a 3000+ acre wildland fire (WA WFF 201). The request for assistance came on July 25, 2011 at 1:15 PM through the State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan which is coordinated through the WSP. The WSP coordinates the initial dispatch and continued administrative oversight of resources and personnel for the duration of the incident. The Mobilization Plan is implemented to provide a process to quickly notify, assemble and deploy fire service personnel, equipment and other resources from around the State when fires, disasters or other events exceed the capacity of local jurisdictions (more information about the Mobilization Plan is available at http://www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/mobilization.htm) Spokane Firefighters responded along with five strike teams of brush engines and water tenders and the Northeast WA Type 3 Incident Management Team to support the local firefighters working to contain the "Road 29 Fire" which was on the border of Lincoln and Grant Counties, approximately 5 miles north of Marlin. The fire was successfully extinguished this afternoon and SFD resources have safety returned home. There were no injuries reported.
Cause:
Under investigation by local jurisdiction.
Damage:
One structure and its contents was lost along with the 3000+ acres of scorched wildland.
