PIFC is located on the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport6335 S. Downwind Circle, Suite 101Mesa, Arizona 85212

AZ-PHC handles all initial attack, logistical support (including Expanded Dispatch) and aviationdispatching at the PIFC facility. All radio communications are directed to “Phoenix”.

All resource requests are processed by AZ-PHC (Aircraft, Crews, Equipment, Overhead, &Supplies).


INITIAL ATTACK OPERATIONS/PROTOCOL

AZ-PHC dispatches using the “Closest Forces Concept”. It is common to have multi-jurisdictionresources on the same incident. Many areas have overlapping protection boundaries. Usuallythe first qualified Incident Commander on scene is the IC. This can be changed by the agencywith protection jurisdiction as appropriate.

• IA resources are to maintain communications with “Phoenix” at all times, beginning within-service, changing locations, responding, on scene, release from incident, returning tostation, back at station, and out of service.

• Cell phone notification can be used, in the event there is cell phone coverage, where radiocommunications cannot be made.

• All reports of incident/smoke should be made to AZ-PHC immediately using theemergency phone line 1-866-746-6516 or (480) 457-1555.

• Phoenix will give a response number to incidents when dispatching resources. This is toavoid confusion when multiple incidents are in progress. This # should be used incommunications (i.e. responding, on scene) until the number is replaced with an incidentname.

• Refer to the front cover (inside) of PMS 461 Incident Response Pocket Guide upon onscene for information to be relayed to Phoenix.

• Use Clear Text in all communications.• Protect point of origin for any future investigation of human caused fires.• Resources should be ordered by type needed not name requested.• Fire weather is broadcasted via the radio twice daily (a.m. & p.m.).• Dispatch is responsible for naming the Incident (Fire) using a single worded name.

EXTENDED ATTACK/PROTOCOL

• Resources should be ordered by type.• Name Requests will be honored by AZ-PHC for Overhead Resources.• Best Value resource types will be filled according to R3/SWCC contract priority listing

(any local assignment of these resources can create a “breach of contract” situation). TheAssistant Center Manager-Logistics or Expanded Coordinator can answer any questionsyou have relating to Best Value resources and their ordering.

• Extended Attack resource orders are normally taken from a Single Point OrderingContact. Your assigned FMO/AFMO/DO can direct you on who this person may be foryour incident if you are not sure.


AIR OPERATIONS/PROTOCOL

• All aircraft orders (air tankers, helicopters, seats, frequencies, Temporary FlightRestrictions (TFR’s) etc.) will be placed with and will be handled by the AircraftDispatcher 480-457-1552 or 1532 when using phone).

• When ordering air tankers clearly state any threat to primary/secondary residences,outbuildings, communication sites, resource concerns, etc. as SWCC/NICC will use thisinformation in determining priority for national resource use/response.

• Assigned aircraft will flight follow with Phoenix on the local designated frequency usingAutomated Flight Following (AFF if so equipped) upon off and return to ground locationuntil hand off to local incident, or other flight following organization.

• TFR intrusions should be reported to AZ-PHC immediately including, aircraft type,color, and tail number. You will need to file a Safecom.

• Gateway Air Tanker Base utilizes the National Ramp frequency of 123.975. Aircraftentering into the Tanker Base will call ramp on this frequency.

Flight Hazard Information

• The Aviation Hazard Map is updated annually by the TNF Aviation Officer. You areencouraged to stop by the Dispatch Center or Tanker Base and review the map priorto commencing flight operations.

• Air Operations within the Southwest Area will operate utilizing the attached FireDimensions.

• All aviation incidents and accidents will be reported to Phoenix Dispatch immediatelyto ensure the proper procedures are implemented. A Safecom will be required and acopy provided to the Unit Aviation Officer within 24 hours of the incident.

GENERAL AREA INFORMATION

Climate, fuels, and topography vary greatly over the five million acres of fire protection. ThePIFC land base has experienced many large fires over the past 30 years; the most recent is theCave Creek, Willow. Major fuel types that you may experience are to include Sonoran Desert,Agua Fria, Grasslands, Ponderosa Pine, Pinion Juniper Woodlands, Intermountain Chaparral,Mixed Conifer and Aspen stands.

WEATHER

Light fuels become dry and support active combustion when the 1 hour dead fuel moisture isbelow 12%. This often occurs when the RH is below 35%. A dry day in this area, RH’s canreach single digits.

Dry cold fronts are common in this area during the fall and spring season. March and April canbe extremely windy while September and October can also experience high winds. Fall Fireseasons are rare but have been responsible for several large fires. Expect winds in the 25 mphrange and higher to persist for 12 to 24 hours.

Any combination of temperatures above 80 degrees and RH’s below 25% is considered hot anddry. Expect high rates of spread in most fuel types.

Inversions are common during periods of high pressure in this geographic area. Inversionstypically will break during mid-morning to early afternoon, and possibly will become active firebehavior.

Weather Zones for PIFC are: Zone 118 Payson, Strawberry, Young Zone 132 Pima Agency Central Deserts, Northwest and Southwest Deserts Zone 133 San Carlos, Southern Tonto National Forest


FUELS/MOISTURE/POCKET CARDS - NORTH

Fuel Model G is used for dense conifer stands where there is a heavy accumulation of litter and

downed woody material. Such stands are typically over-mature and may also be suffering insect,

disease, wind, or ice damage -- natural events that create a very heavy buildup of dead material

on the forest floor. The duff and litter are deep and much of the woody material is more than 3

inches in diameter. The undergrowth is variable, but shrubs are usually restricted to

openings. Types meant to be represented by Fuel Model G are hemlock-Sitka spruce, Coast

Douglas-fir, and wind thrown or bug-killed stands of lodge pole pine and spruce.


FUELS/MOISTURE/POCKET CARDS – SOUTH

Fuel Model B is used for the chaparral component that dominates the lower elevations. Creosote

uplands and Sonoran desert grasslands are the prevailing vegetation type. During seasons where

late winter, early spring rains (warm season) are normal to above normal invasive species such as

Red Brome, Lehmann love grass and Buffelgrass can dominate the landscape leading to fast

moving high intensity fires which are not the normal fire regime for the Sonoran Desert.


CODE OF CONDUCT

• Firefighter & public safety comes first on every fire every time.• Every firefighter has the right to know that his/her assignments are safe• Every fireline supervisor, every fire manager, and every administrator has the

responsibility to confirm that safe practices are known and observed.• All resources responding to an incident will check in with the IC, the ICP, or staging

prior to commencing any work on the incident for a briefing.• A dedicated IC is required for all Type 1, 2, and 3 incidents. Collateral duties will not be

acceptable.

MAJOR HAZARDS & RISKS

• This area has some very steep and rugged terrain and light flashy fuels. Weather is oftendifficult to predict in this area. This is the area where the Dude Fire occurred in Payson.

• The risk of heat stress related injuries are very high especially in the lower elevations.• LCES must be implemented and adhered to.• Rattlesnakes and scorpions are common in all elevations.• Mountain lions are plentiful and deserve respect.• ATV/OHV use is very heavy on the TNF and surrounding areas must be very cautious

when driving on Forest Roads.• Mazatzal Mercury Mine Area – Mesa and Tonto Basin RD.
