2011Annual Report Pueblo Interagency Dispatch Center
narrative The 2011 season proved to be an active year in the Pueblo Interagency Zone; with a total of 499 fires and 258,633 acres burned. The zone hosted 12 different incident management teams supporting one type 1 incident, three type 2 incidents and eight type 3 incidents. By March it was clear that the entire zone was in a drying trend that would last well into the fall months. Our 9 National Weather Service stations issued 246 red flag warnings with the month of June reporting 26 days. PIDC saw several cross region fires from Region 3 and Region 8 (New Mexico and Oklahoma) that burned into Region 2 (Colorado), this increased the coordination between GACCS and other regions dispatch centers (mainly Taos). Pueblo ran an expanded dispatch organization for 90 days and had 24 hour staffing for 70 days. In addition to supporting in- zone incidents, Pueblo mobilized 583 Overhead, 134 Engines, and 31 Crews out of area to support incidents throughout the country. The PIDC Aircraft desk supported 583 aviation requests for a total of 119 incidents. Record amounts of missions and retardant were pump out of the Pueblo Reload Tanker Base, JeffCO Tanker Base and 3 Seat Bases. Smokejumpers were pre-positioned at Fremont County Airport for 59 days and the Monument Helicopter flew for 177 hours dropping 42,231 gallons of water. To assist PIDC with cooperator incidents we started a pilot program of assigning a Federal Dispatch Liaison to each incident that had no established federal jurisdiction. This assisted the counties with understanding the federal dispatch process. It provided greater communication, efficiency in ordering process and increased interaction with interagency partners. We will look at this as a standard in the future to improve the dispatch process.Another Beta test was with Colorado Division of Emergency Management (CO-DEM) in Putting cooperator resources directly into ROSS (for Non federal incidents) with them acting as a 4thtier dispatch center, as CO-DEM develops more follow up will be needed at a later time. Our annual PIDC Zone Cooperator Dispatch workshop saw continued success with a great turnout of 27 participants whose experience ranged from Emergency Service Dispatcher, Training Coordinator, Communications and Emergency Managers from a makeup of 11 Different agencies and/or departments at the City, County, State and DOD level. We added more scenarios to this year s event workshop based on feedback from last year s workshop and see this as a continued event to improve knowledge on the Interagency Dispatch process. In June we saw one full time lead dispatcher retire (Wayne Baker) who was the primary Intelligence dispatcher and in November the Center Manager (Allyn Herrington) transfer to the Fort Collins Dispatch Center. The season ended with new records for the number of incidents reported, as well as five year average records broken as it applies to The mobilization of overhead, crews, equipment, aircraft in addition to the fires and acres being recorded.
