2003-112
.
City Fire Department Protection Areas that escape initial attack and the fire either

documentation from the Logistics Chief or Incident Commander authorizing the
replacement of items through normal supply channels.
N. Fire Prevention and Enforcement
.
a. Enforcement of Fire Laws San Bernardino City Fire Department and
Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers will enforce applicable fire laws
upon Private and Federal lands for which Departmenl and Forest assume
direct fire protection responsibility.
b. Investigation
Both Department and the Forest have the responsibility to investigate
cause and origin of all fires that threaten to bum land regardless of
lhe protection responsibility.
To avoid duplication of efforts and confusion, the agency in whose
area the fire occurs will normally conduct the investigation. Where
both agencies have a responsibility to invesligate the same incident,
joint investigations with a representative from each agency are
encouraged.
The agency in whose area the fire ongm occurs will normally
assume the lead role during the investigation. When joint
investigations can not be conducled, and both agencies have
investigation responsibilities, upon proper request, the investigating
officer will provide a written incident report to the other agency.
Although both agencies have certain law enforcement
responsibilities and fully understand the need to start investigalions
as quickly as possible, we must above all respect each other's
responsibilities within the protection areas. One agency will enter the
other agency's protection area to conduct fire investigations only
when requested to do so by the responsible agency or after approval
to do so has been obtained from a responsible official of the
protection agency.
O. Burning Permits
.
a. Permits for burning on San Bernardino City Fire Department Protection
area as authorized by law, will be issued utilizing the appropriate form as
authorized by each agency.

Attack Zone when there is a lhreal of wildland fires, each agency dispatch
center will inform the other of known aclive permits to include location,
addressee and anticipated duration. Regardless of the time of year, all
permits issued in accordance with the preceding paragraph shall be
reported to the other agency.
P. Permit Suspension
a. The suspension of burning permits is regulated by County ordinance and
will be coordinated by the County Fire Warden's requesl for burning
permit suspensions shall be made to the County Fire Warden.
b. After establishing the area to be suspended, the County Fire Warden will
notify the Forest Service through the Communications Center, of the
effecti ve time and area of suspension.
.
c. Cancellation of burning permit suspensions will be accomplished by the
same procedure. Request for burning permit suspensions by County Fire
Warden will be coordinated with Forest Service lhrough Communications
Center.
Q. Red Flag Program
Because wealher factors that signal Red Flag conditions affect both San
Bernardino Cily Fire Department and contiguous Forest simultaneously, it is
presumed that all agencies will enact plan measures concurrently.
R. Closure and Restrictions

their Emergency Restrictions and Closure Plan.
b. Copies of any closures and lor restriclions will be furnished to the San
Bernardino City Fire Department.
