DISPATCH CENTERS

The Southwest Area has twelve Dispatch Centers that mobilize and demobilize resources directly with SWCC. The Dispatch Center is the focal point for mobilizing firefighting resources between units within the dispatch area responsibility, coordinating incoming resources into the dispatch area, dispatching resources mobilized out of the dispatch area, and collecting and disseminating fire intelligence information within dispatch area and with SWCC. There are additional dispatch centers within the Southwest Area, however these dispatch centers work directly with one of the dispatch centers below instead of directly with SWCC.
