The fire report is relayed to the fire center. Most reported fires are small and can be contained or controlled by the efforts of an initial attack crew. Local initial attack crews consist of a three-person crew and an engine. An engine is a dual-wheel, four-wheel drive truck which is equipped with a 200-gallon tank and a high pressure pump and hose. The engine also has an intake valve so the tank can be . refilled from close-by streams, lakes or reservoirs. The engine is a self-contained unit which carries nearly all types of personnel per-sonnel fire fighting equipment, tools, and supplies. The Uintah Basin Fire Center has five engines available for immediate use, three belong to the BLM and one belongs to the Forest Service and one belongs to the State Lands and Forestry division. By previous agreement, the closest engine my be dispatched to the fire, regardless of which agency's jurisdiction it is on. Two 20-person fire crews are also available locally. One is available through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the other is an interagency crew composed of staff from' all three agencies. Once an initial attack crew is on the scene it is determined whether the crew can control the fire and if not, what assistance is needed? Assault teams often arrive at the scene to find the fire has nearly burned burn-ed itself out, either because it burned into natural barriers or areas where fuels are not as plentiful as at the fire's origin. Once the fire center is notified of a fire, several options for attack are available if a fire is small and in a remote area. A "helitack crew, an initial attack fire crew transported via a helicopter, may be called to make the initial assault. The helitack crew is located at Dutch John on the Flaming Gorge National Recreation area. The crew is equipped with a Bell Jet-Ranger Helicopter which transports the seven-man crew. If a fire is large and in a remote area, then it is possible to call in "smokejumpers. If smokejumpers were needed in the Uintah Basin, they would likely be summoned from the smokejumpers smoke-jumpers depot in Grand Junction, Colo. : , . .-4 I fj C r " e ml.k 1 r f ENGINE BOSS, Kim Bartell cleans engine after fire use.
