Contract No: 1 CA02699
- 10 -

Forestry & Fire Protection, Sonoma -Lake -Napa Unit, hereinafter referred to as CAL FIRE, the
Town of Tiburon, hereinafter referred to as TOWN, and the California Department of Parks and
Recreation, hereinafter referred to as STATE PARKS It has been developed to specifically
address the Agreement for Protection of Wildlands within a Local Agency, hereinafter referred to
as AGREEMENT, between CAL FIRE and TOWN for fire protection within TOWN limits at
Angel Island State Park, which is under the ownership of STATE PARKS. This Operating Plan
is also intended to be consistent with the Interagency Agreement between CAL FIRE and STATE
PARKS, No. 7CA00897, hereinafter referred to as the Interagency Agreement, for fire protection
at state parks within California.
2. AUTHORITY
This PLAN is required of both CAL FIRE and TOWN as part of the AGREEMENT dated July 1,
2012.
3. PURPOSE
This PLAN will provide the Unit Chief of CAL FIRE and TOWN Manager a means for executing
the AGREEMENT and is hereby attached as Exhibit E with appendices E-1, E-2 and E-3 to that
AGREEMENT.
4. DEFINITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
For purposes of this PLAN, "ECC" shall mean the Marin County Fire Emergency Command
Center acting in its capacity as the agent and contractor of CAL FIRE. See AGREEMENT for
definitions and descriptions of other general terms. This PLAN does not allow either CAL FIRE
or TOWN to operate outside the limitations in the AGREEMENT.
5. PROCEDURES
A. Fire Reporting/Reports — When any party receives a report of a wildfire within the area of
AGREEMENT, it shall promptly notify the ECC, who will in turn promptly notify the other
party and STATE PARKS. Each agency will process their appropriate reports and make the
information available, upon request of the other agency, in no more than 60 days.
B. Incident Management — The Incident Command System (ICS) will be used to manage
wildfires within the area of the AGREEMENT. Unified Command will be implemented with
a CAL FIRE representative, a TOWN representative and a STATE PARKS representative.
Contractor Name: Town of Tiburon
Contract No: 1CA02699
11
C. Fire within the area of the AGREEMENT — CAL FIRE and Marin County Fire Department
will maintain a preplanned initial attack response (PIAR) and General Response Guidelines
for fires within the area of the AGREEMENT See Appendices E-1 and E-2. Immediate
cooperation between agency dispatch centers will occur to ensure prompt response of
appropriate resources into the area of the fire. CAL FIRE resources will be ordered according
to the terms of the AGREEMENT through the ECC. Any augmentation of the preplanned
CAL FIRE response, with CAL FIRE resources, shall be authorized by a CAL FIRE Incident
Commander or Agency Representative. Augmentation of the preplanned response may
require a post incident audit. The audit will seek to demonstrate that it was justified on a cost
efficiency basis. Local government and private resources will be ordered through the ECC to
ensure proper utilization of the Master Mutual Aid Agreement.
D. Mutual Aid — All initial attack resources will be considered mutual aid for the purpose of this
AGREEMENT.
E. Initial Attack — Initial attack resources will be based on the closest resources concept
identified in the PIAR. See Appendix E-1.
F. Move up and Cover — Station coverage will be exchanged between CAL FIRE, Marin County
Fire Department and Tiburon Fire Protection District when appropriate. To prevent long-term
coverage problems to any agency, the covering agency's engines will be replaced with the
covered agency's resources as soon as it is practical to do so.
G. Fire Information: Unified Command
1. CAL FIRE will establish a command structure to manage the incident and
establish a set of incident objectives and strategies consistent with the Interagency
Agreement.
2. Representatives of CAL FIRE, TOWN and STATE PARKS will meet as needed to
discuss procedures governing and locations of potential Joint Information Center.
All three agencies will strive to maintain a roster of Public Information Officers
available during the emergencies.
3. The parties will determine which agency will provide the Lead Information
Officer. Normally, it will be the agency with the greatest commitment of
resources.
H. The TOWN Manager or her/his designee and a Representative of CAL FIRE, of the rank of
Battalion Chief or higher, may order resources directly from the ECC or DISPATCH when an
immediate need arises. These resources may include engines, fire crews and bulldozers in
accordance with the AGREEMENT. Resources sent in response to these requests will
conform to the closest resource concept.

Contract No: 1CA02699

A. POLICY

coordinated between CAL FIRE and TOWN and include MARIN COUNTY FIRE and

Handbook 9000. This will include, but is not limited to, annual analysis and planning sessions
to generate an ongoing fire prevention plan.
This agreement between CAL FIRE, TOWN and STATE PARKS has necessitated a
cooperative approach to Fire Prevention issues. STATE PARKS, in cooperation with CAL
FIRE, MARIN COUNTY FIRE and TOWN, has agreed to develop a fire prevention Plan
with CAL FIRE, to the extent it is able, under its Interagency Agreement for fire protection at
state parks that are within a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or a CAL FIRE Direct
Protection Area. Current copies of the Interagency Agreement between CAL FIRE and
STATE PARKS as well as the CAL FIRE contract with MARIN COUNTY referred to as the
Grey Book will be held by the various participating agencies. This fire prevention plan shall
be implemented, to the extent possible, consistent with the Interagency Agreement.
1. Public Information Program — This will include all types of fire prevention news releases
through the available media.
2. Protection/Planning Issues — Although compliance with applicable fire safe laws
pertaining to improvements in the wildland areas within Angel Island State Park is the
responsibility of STATE PARKS, a CAL FIRE representative will be available upon
request to comment and assist on these issues.
2. Hazard Reduction Inspections
a.
CAL FIRE will work directly with STATE PARKS to enforce Public
Resources Code (PRC) Sections 4291, 4446, 4442, 4123 or the California Fire
Code section, when applicable.

strive to give full consideration to the prevention of fires and public education. All agencies
will strive to allow staff to establish attainable fire prevention goals.
C. EXISTING AND PROJECTED DEMAND

programs. Fire protection and prevention will be influenced by the following factors:

expenditures and damages from human -caused fires on infrastructure and natural resources.
