Block 40. Strategic Discussion

Block 40: Strategic Discussion

Explain the relation of overall strategy, constraints, and current available information to:

  1. critical resource needs identified above
  2. the Incident Action Plan and management objectives and targets
  3. anticipated results

Explain major problems and concerns such as operational challenges, incident management problems, and social, political, economic, or environmental concerns or impacts. Wording should be consistent with Block 39 to justify critical resource needs, which should relate to planned actions in the Incident Action Plan. Give a short assessment of the likelihood of meeting the incident management targets, given the current management strategy and currently known constraints. Identify when the chosen management strategy will succeed given the current constraints. Adjust the anticipated incident management completion target in Block 43 as needed based on this discussion.

Note:NOTE:
  • T-1 engines critical for structure protection of subdivision in anticipated path of the fire (expected to impact subdivision within 24 hours).
  • IHC crews needed for burnout operation planned for Division D in 48 hours. Difficulty of the terrain and planned burnout operation necessitates use of IHC crews.
  • Containment unlikely for foreseeable future due to lack of T-1 crews and helicopters needed contain the fire in the vicinity of Lone Peak. Terrain is too rugged and dangerous for the T-2 crews currently assigned.
