1 Organizational Culture in Aviation Fire Suppression A lessons learned overview of emerging issues and challenges in a multi-agency aviation fire suppression program

2 DENNIS HULBERT Regional Aviation Officer US Forest Service Retired

3 Interagency Mobilization National Shared Resources Agency Responsibility Agreements Contracts Memorandums of Understanding

4 Call When Needed National Guard INTERAGENCY COOPERATION Federal Resource Agencies Military State & Local Government

5 Federal Agencies Use Exclusive Use Seasonal Contracts And limited Agency Owned Aircraft

6 All aircraft used on Federal Emergencies meet Interagency Standards with pilots and airframes

7 Interagency Contract Standards Current FAA Certifications Avionics, Radios and Systems Aircraft Maintenance & Support Aircraft Equipment Pilot Requirements Pilot Flight and Duty Limitations

8 All Federal Resources Shared between agencies through cooperative agreements

9 State & Local Emergency Departments Use Federal Excess, Contract, and Purchased Aircraft

10 State & Local Aviation Resources must meet Interagency Standards before they can operate in the same airspace/emergency or be shared with federal agencies

11 Common Interagency Standards 1,500 hours PIC Annual Check Ride Incident Command Training Fire Behavior Training Common Terminology Common Communication/radios

12 Military Resources must also meet Interagency Standards and are only used when no other aircraft are reasonably available

13 Common Interagency Standards for Military 500 hours PIC (Active Military) 1,500 hours PIC (National Guard) Annual Check Ride Incident Command Training Fire Behavior Training Common Communication/radios

14 Incident Command System Standard Terminology Standard Training Standard Command Structure Standard Safety Regulations Common Dispatch Common Communication/radio
