Conflagration/Mobilization Incident Reporting

Conflagration/Mobilization Incident Reporting

This page contains information about the incidents the OSFM has mobilized resources to.




Conflagration Reporting Assistance

The following information should be used anytime your agency responds to a conflagration:

  • Actions Taken: The duties performed at the incident scene by your crew.
    • 13 - Establish fire lines around wildfire perimeter. Includes clearing firebreaks using direct, indirect, and burnout tactics as appropriate. 
    • 14 - Contain fire (wildland). Includes taking suppression action that can reasonably be expected to check the fire spread under prevailing and predicted conditions. 
    • 15 - Confine fire (wildland). Includes when fire crews or resources stop the forward progress of a fire but have not put in all control lines.
    • 16 - Control fire (wildland). Includes when fire crews or resources completely surround the fire perimeter with control lines; extinguish any spot fires; burn any area adjacent to the fire side of the control lines; and cool down all hot spots that are immediate threats to the control line, until the lines can reasonably be expected to hold under foreseeable conditions.
  • Property Use: There can only be one code selected for this field. Because your crews most likely worked across several property use types while deployed, using code 931 – open land or field would be the most appropriate. We understand they may have worked in residential yards, vacant lots, right of ways, timberland areas, etc.; however, to maintain consistency and for tracking purposes, we are choosing to use this code as it is likely to be the most common among all those on-scene. If your crew only worked on a single property use while deployed, please indicate what that was accordingly; otherwise, use code 931.
  • Alarm Time: The date/time your agency was asked or ordered to provide resources by your county defense board chief.
  • Arrival Time: The date/time of your agency’s arrival at the incident staging area.
  • Last Unit Cleared Time: The date/time your agency’s last resource demobilized from the incident and headed home.
  • In Service Time: When your agency’s last resource was back in service on this response.

If your agency uses the NFIRS Personnel/Apparatus Module:

  • Dispatch Time: The date/time your agency was asked or ordered to provide resources by your county defense board chief.
  • Enroute Time: The date/time the resource was en route to the incident. This should NOT be the time resources departed to the task force/strike team rally point. This should be the time the AOC was notified that the resource was actually en route to the incident.
  • Arrival Time: The date/time of the resource's arrival at the incident staging area.
  • Clear Time: The date/time the resource demobilized from the incident and headed home.
  • In Service Time: The date/time when the resource was back in service from this response.
  • Fire Service Casualty: If any fire service personnel are injured requiring medical treatment and/or resulting in time lost (e.g., heat stroke, insect stings/bites, exposures to poisonous plants) it must be reported in the incident report for the corresponding incident.
