ENGINE INVENTORY

The completed inspection forms and pictures are to be submitted to the Area Manager/ Fire Management Officer (FMO) and any deficiencies/concerns documented at that time. If it is determined the equipment is to be reassigned, an attempt will be made to reassign within the same county or area. Written approval from the Area Manager and the county is required. FEPP equipment may NOT be sold, traded, exchanged or otherwise disposed of. This is federally owned property and must be returned when no longer of use in the fire program.

If not reassigned to the same county, the equipment will be considered for placement in another county or returned to the federal government. For fire departments participating in the Utah Wildfire Response Memorandum of Understanding (UWRMOU) fire suppression program, the District Fire Warden will complete an inventory inspection annually for the equipment that is signed up. This will verify that the required inventory is on the apparatus and that they meet the requirements for the UWRMOU.

ENGINE INVENTORY

The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands engines will meet all National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) standards for staffing, equipment and Engine type assigned.

• See the IRPG PMS 461, page 88. • IRPG (https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/461) - for QR code see 5.3 on page 149.

In addition to the basic NWCG equipment requirements a minimum recommended inventory is included in the reference section of this manual. This list will serve as a tool after each incident to determine if you have a full complement of tools and supplies on your engine. You should begin the fire season with this inventory and it should be returned at the end of the fire season; excluding expendable items used for fire suppression.

The weight of all Equipment and Personnel cannot exceed the Manufacturer’s Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) limits.

The warden or engine captain must keep an inventory of all equipment on the engine to verify inventory at check-in on incidents and keep accountability of assigned equipment. Each vehicle is required to have two updated inventory copies- One in the Vehicle Log Book and One with the Supervisors office.

State Risk Insurance will not cover replacement of private property damaged within a State Vehicle.

If there are discrepancies between the items on your truck and the listed inventory, please consult with your supervisor.
