Common use of Dispatch Coordination Clause in Contracts

Dispatch Coordination. The agencies to this agreement will coordinate fire management activities and resource movement (subject to the availability of agency resources) through the Geographic Coordination Center (GACC), as appropriate. Agencies to this agreement have discretion to move resources independent of the GACC. During joint projects and incidents, public information will be coordinated and will occur on an interagency basis to the extent possible. Local Operating Plans will document agreements and arrangements with local fire service organizations and agreed responsibilities. Local fire service participation in support of Washington interagency incident management teams will be coordinated and paid through WDNR if not covered by a federal agreement. Local fire service participation on national incident management teams will be coordinated and paid through agreements between the local fire service and local federal agency. In Washington, when the Mobilization Act is declared, local fire service resources will be dispatched though the Washington State Patrol Fire Protection Bureau. In Oregon, mobilization of local fire service organizations outside of their jurisdictional boundaries under the Conflagration Act will be coordinated by the office of the Oregon State Fire Marshal.
