WUI DRAW-D
my tactical priorities are based off of this -
defend - hold actions
reinforce - add resources to an op
advance - strategies for confinement/ suppression
withdraw - move to safety zone
delay - wait until situation has improved or changed to engage
WUI arrival report
- Lookout
- communication
- Escape routes
- safety zones
( As I arrive I am thinking LCES. On my way in I am evaluating the need for a lookout and where I can place them. I will communicate needs effectively, identify escape routes and point my rig away from the fire if possible, and be evaluating the need for a safety zone and where it will be located.)
- position rig pointing away from fire
- determine location of fire & access
WUI investigation/ recon for 1st arriving officer
- values at risk
- size of fire
- fuel
- weather
- topography
- fire behavior
- identify heads/ flanks
- hazards
- water sources
WUI size up
E20 arrived to a 1 acre field fire with fast moving flame spread moving to timber, no structures threatened, anchor point will be the driveway and we will be initiating mobile attack on the right flank.
WUI secondary size up
- recon complete
- any corrections to size up
- critical resource needs/ access issues
E20 recon complete, the best access will be off 1st street, upgrade to a 2nd alarm
What are the modes off operation in the WUI
offensive - direct suppression/ containment
defensive - use of control lines away from the fire
combination - use of direct/ indirect attack
what are fire control strategies for the WUI
anchor and flank
split the head - from the black, direct attack to the head
envelopment - deployment of resources around the entire fire
parallel attack - fire control lines paralleling the fire & back burning fuels
indirect attack - control lines away from the fire & supporting with air ops or burn our ops
WUI mobile attack
- used when conditions/ terrain allows
- pump and role capable
- pinsor attack
- tandem
- envelopment
WUI what are the hose deployment attack options
simple - from engine used to create an anchor point
progressive - smokey/ starter pack

WUI en route considerations -
A/O - safe & efficient code 3
FF’s - egis for access/ measure driveway if needed
everyone - PPE and web gear, ops channel
me - I am considering weather/ time of day and how that would affect my crews ability to work. I will be mapping and monitoring my MDT for critical info such as predicted arrival order and alarm package. I will also be factoring the need for LCES.
* I recognize that we are responding in tandem as this is a brush fire
On a large scale WUI, what are the names for div breaks?
