2010 Annual Report

Pueblo Interagency Dispatch Center

We saw an average number of incidents during the first quarter of 2010, with average weather conditions. By the early spring we saw our typical drying in the plains and above average drying in the mountains, which put the PSICC in severity. At the end of spring we saw general conditions at the moderate to high categories’ throughout the zone. With Kansas coming in well under their average acres burned for the spring. During the late spring/summer we had 2 type 3 incidents which turned into type 2 incidents. The first incident called the Medano. This required 2 type 2 teams and 1 type 3 team to manage. The second Type 3 fire to turn into a type 2 fire was the Parkdale fire in Fremont County. This fire was a short duration fire requiring the type 2 team only 3 days before we reassign the team to a new incident in the Fort Collins Dispatch zone. We had a drying trend starting in late summer that continued into 2011. Overall our number of fires and acres were down but our incidents were up as we saw an increase in non-fire resource ordering (Oil Spill), Law Enforcement, and other all risk incidents. Our biggest weather factor this year was the number of Red Flag warnings that were issued by our 9 NWS offices from 65 last year to 141 this year.

We once again held our annual conference in the spring with the main focus on dispatch process and resource ordering. We also provided dispatch process training to approximately 100 County, City and federal cooperators and partners covering dispatchers, command staff and firefighters. This has proven to be an effort that pays for itself in the arena of interagency dispatching in sharing information with cooperators and partners to assist each other during resource mobilization. PIDC staff also participates with the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office Communications division with In-service training which provided an excellent opportunity to work with one of our cooperators and network with other dispatchers. We were able to put on 2 D-110 courses for 18 students with-in the zone to assist with the dispatch function.
