CFM-CH 1 Unit Position Number Level of Organization Identifier Division Sequence CFM-BC 11 Unit Position Number Level of Organization Identifier Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3 Rationale for Recommendations: The recommendation provides: ?? A consistent implementation of marking for safety which is compliant with NFPA 1906 standard, as applied by other fire service organizations. ?? Consistent recognized color scheme and organization identification for FS/BLM fire resources. The white vehicle package meets the shift of both agencies to the procurement of white vehicles from the manufacturer. The green vehicle package meets the needs for older FS ?green fleet? and BLM ?green? engine color. ?? Allows for Agency affiliation through use of agency emblems, and meets agency marking requirements for all fleet. ?? Unit identification utilizing nationally recognized mnemonics documented in Regional Mob Guide. Provides for development of mnemonics for interagency fire units and combined forest units. ?? Display of Unit position, which defines the level of the individual in the organization, when matched with IFPM standards relates to minimum ICS qualifications for incident operations. ?? Specific identification numbering system that is standard through out the region and is designed to reflect local geographic home unit/sub-unit. Allows flexibility to exclude position identifier for units with shared fleet. ?? Uniform and consistent presentation and identification of FS/BLM vehicles, positions and call signs, reducing confusion of cooperators and local fire service agencies, when resources are mobilized to other units, areas, or incidents. ?? Procedures to incorporate fire emergency vehicle standards in agency directives. The sampling of identification/numbering systems currently in use in the Pacific Northwest were designed to provide Agency/Unit identification, sub-unit identification, position or level within the unit, and a resource specific number identifier. The recommended emergency fire vehicle marking standards provides the same levels of identification in a consistent format throughout the PNW. References: FSM 7131.73 ?
