"Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy rests on three pillars: restoring fire-adapted natural communities; building fire-adapted human communities; and responding appropriately to wildfire. These three elements form a triangle for fire protection in the WUI. Each is necessary for success; and all three sides of the triangle rest, in turn, on the jurisdictional triangle of cooperation and collaboration among local, state, and federal authorities." 


The Initial IC should focus on anchor/flank/extinguish tactics for a new brush fire in the WUI environment to quickly and safely contain them with the initial alarm. The arriving BC must quickly evaluate the brush incident for the likelihood of containment and jurisdictional authority. Effectively deploying remaining units, efficiently forecasting and timely ordering of resource needs to meet incident priorities, and building an appropriate incident command structure to sustain the operation is essential for potential extended attack incidents
