A new FIRESCOPE Radio Communications Guidelines for 2008 Appendix is now available online:

For those of you who are not familiar with FIRESCOPE, it stands for FIrefighting REScources in California Organized for Potential Emergencies. When this organization first formed it was called FIrefighting REsources in Southern California Organized for Potential Emergencies. This is the group that developed the Incident Command System (ICS) following legislation by the Congress following the very disasterous fire season of 1970. This legislation directed the U.S. Forest Service to coordinate a federal/state/local agency effort to address significant problems in interagency cooperation and operations made painfully clear during that fire season. The FIRESCOPE organization did such a good job that the nationwide adoption of ICS for all risk incidents is now reality. The organization changed it role to a statewide one that continues to facilitate improvements in fire agency mutual aid tasks.
