Incident Actions Our workload is measured by documenting incident actions. An incident action is any action taken by dispatch to assist our agencies, cooperators or vendors. Each new incident is assigned a number for tracking purposes and then entered into a database. Below are examples of what type of actions we record. Wildland Fires - Fires reported to CPC where agency resources respond and suppress. Resource Orders - Mobilizing resources in and out of zone. False Alarms – A reported fire where resources respond but are unable to locate incident. Flight Following – Tracking of agency aircraft traveling through CPC's dispatch zone. Dispatch Assist - Actions where only CPC assists cooperators. Includes processing spot weather, smoke reports, county fire notifications and fires reported out of our zone of response. AD Hire - Administrative services involved with hiring emergency firefighter personnel. Rx Fire – Controlled burns where dispatch provides services such as resource mobilization, cooperator notifications, and dispatch staffing. Fuels Reduction - Mechanical thinning projects for urban interface and natural resource benefits. Other - Other actions not defined above.
