Incident Control at Structure Fires
Following a number of structure fires across the Shire in recent weeks, the Chief as reaffirmed the expectations around Incident Management of structure fires in non-gazetted fire districts. The senior Bush Fire Service officer present at the incident should assume the role of Incident Controller, with the senior Fire and Rescue Service officer appointed as Operations Officer. This arrangement provides Authority to Act outside of gazetted fire districts, as well as access to the powers specified in S39 of the Bush Fires Act.
If you have any questions, please contact Adrian.

Feedback will be collected over the coming weeks, with a collated submission presented to the Shire of Mundaring.
