The Initial Attack Zone dataset is used by Dispatchers and Fire Operations personnel to quickly determine which agency's fire fighting resource has initial attack responsibilities for a reported wild fire. That unit then gets dispatched to respond to the wildfire with the objective to protect lives and property and prevent the fire from spreading. This data is provided to all Dispatch Centers on printed maps and as data layers on their Computer Assisted Dispatch systems (WILDCAD) base maps. The RESPOND_UNIT attribute field in this dataset has the information that dispatchers need to make a determination as to which fire fighting agency should respond to the incident. |

Initial Attack operations are the actions taken by the first units to arrive at a wildfire to protect lives and property, and prevent further extension of the fire. This dataset depicts areas in which each cooperating agency has Initial Attack responsibility when fire incidents occur. The Initial Attack Zones are boundaries that are agreed upon by all cooperating agencies and updated and maintained annually by the New Mexico BLM State Office Fire Program and GIS program with input from various Dispatch Zone boards. These zone boards have representation from all the agencies involved with Fire opperations within that Dispatch Zone. Decisions on changes or updates of the Initial Attack zones are made at the Zone Board Meetings that take place annually, usually before the height of the Fire Season. |
