REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date:May 13, 2025
Subject:Agreement for Wildland Protection Services
Recommendation
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
AGREEMENT FOR WILDLAND PROTECTION SERVICES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026.
Background
Since 2013, the City of Lake Elsinore has entered into an agreement with the California
Department of Forestry and Fire (CALFIRE) for wildland protection service to protect the City from
unfunded liabilities in the event of a wildland fire within the City that is not covered by an MTZ
(Mutual Threat Zone). These costs are for CALFIRE or other resources that may be needed to
control a wildland fire, including aircraft, crews, dozers, engines, and logistics. These costs could
easily reach tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars per day.
Under the agreement, CALFIRE treats the area covered by the agreement and areas in the MTZ
as State Responsibility Area (SRA) lands. (This is virtually all the Wildland Urban Interface Area
in the City). As such, CALFIRE would bear the cost of suppressing wildland fires in these areas
using any needed resources to accomplish this task. The City would only expend its budgeted
cost annually to maintain this agreement with CALFIRE. The City last renewed this agreement in
2024 for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
Wildland Protection Services Agreement
Page 2 of 2
Discussion
The proposed agreement for wildland protection services is for the fiscal year 2025-2026. The
cost is based on what the State currently pays to protect its SRA. The current cost per acre is
approximately $50.18, plus a 10.77% administrative charge. The cost per acre is reviewed and
adjusted annually. The area covered by the agreement can also be adjusted to reflect build-up or
annexations. The City of Lake Elsinore is responsible for protecting life, property, and wildland
areas comprising 1,689 acres of land (as shown in the agreement). Therefore, the agreement is
for a total cost of $93,882.03. Staff believes this agreement is a cost-effective way for the City of
Lake Elsinore to protect itself from potentially crippling unbudgeted expenses from wildland fires
and provide a fiscally prudent level of protection to our citizens and natural resources.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed agreement is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget.

OPERATING PLAN
1.OVERVIEW
This Operating Plan, from now on referred to as PLAN, is between the California Department
of Forestry & Fire Protection, Riverside Unit, from now on referred to as CAL FIRE, and the
City of Lake Elsinore, Fire Department, from now on referred to as CITY. It has been
developed to address the Agreement for Protection of Wildlands within a Local Agency, from
now on called AGREEMENT, between CAL FIRE and CITY for wildland fire protection
within the CITY limits.
2.AUTHORITY
The PLAN is required of both CAL FIRE and CITY as part of the AGREEMENT dated July 1,
2025 through June 30, 2026.
3.PURPOSE
This PLAN will provide the Unit Chief of CAL FIRE and the Fire Chief of CITY a means for
executing the AGREEMENT and is hereby attached as Exhibit B with appendices B-1 and B-2
to that AGREEMENT.
4. PROPOSAL
The proposal of this plan is to:
1.Wildland fires within the contract area or mutual threat zone:
a)Regardless of which agency Company Officer is on the scene of the incident first, the
first arriving Company Officer shall;
b)Assume command,
c)Establish jurisdiction,
d)Determine threats with potential,
e)Provide a report on conditions,
f)Formulate and effect a plan of action,
g)Prioritize control objectives,
a.Life, Property and Natural Resources,

Protection (CAL FIRE) Riverside Unit Emergency Command Center (RRCC).
Contract Name: City of Lake Elsinore
Contract No: 3CA07266
Pa g e | 13
3.Regardless of which agency Chief Officer is on the scene of the incident first;
a)The first arriving Chief Officer will transition command from the initial attack
incident commander.
b)Announce and assume command of the fire.
c)Establish an Incident Command Post. All wildland fires will be managed via a
Unified Command structure that will afford all agencies jurisdictional responsibility
to establish a common set of objectives and strategies.
5.DEFINITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
See AGREEMENT for definitions and descriptions of general terms. This PLAN does not allow
either agency to operate outside the limitations in the AGREEMENT.
6.PROCEDURES
a)Fire Reporting/ Reports-When CITY receives a report of a wildfire within the area of
the AGREEMENT, it shall promptly notify the RR Unit Emergency Command
Center (ECC). Each agency will process its appropriate reports and make the
information available, upon request of the other agency, in no more than 60 days.
b)Incident Management- The Incident Command System (ICS) will be used to manage
wildfires within the area of the AGREEMENT. Unified Command will be
implemented with a CAL FIRE representative and a CITY representative.
c)Fires within the area of the AGREEMENT- Each agency will maintain a Preplanned
Initial Attack Response (PIAR) for fires within the area of the AGREEMENT. See
Appendices B-1 and B-2. Immediate cooperation between agency dispatch centers
will occur to ensure prompt response of appropriate resources into the fire area. CAL
FIRE resources will be ordered through the ECC according to the AGREEMENT
terms. A CAL FIRE Incident Commander or Agency Representative shall authorize
any augmentation of the preplanned CAL FIRE response with CAL FIRE resources.
a.Augmentation of the preplanned response may require a post-incident audit.
The audit will seek to demonstrate that adjacent CAL FIRE Direct Protection
Areas (DPA’s) were threatened or that the augmentation was justified as cost -
efficient. Local government and private resources will be ordered through the
CITY dispatch center (DISPATCH) to ensure proper utilization of the Master
Mutual Aid Agreement.
d)Mutual Aid- All initial attack resources will be considered mutual aid for the purpose
of this AGREEMENT.
e)Initial Attack-Initial attack resources will always be based on the closest resources
concept identified in the PIAR. See Appendices B-1 and B-2.
Contract Name: City of Lake Elsinore
Contract No: 3CA07266
Pa g e | 14
f)Move-up & Cover-Station coverage will be exchanged between both agencies when
appropriate. To prevent long-term coverage problems for either agency, the covering
agency’s engines will be replaced with the covered agency’s resources as soon as it is
practical to do so.
C.Fire Information: Unified Command-
1.Both agencies will enter into a unified command structure to manage the
incident by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies.
This will be accomplished without losing or abdicating agency authority,
responsibility, or accountability. A Unified Ordering Point will be identified
and established.
2.Representatives of both agencies will meet as needed to discuss procedures
for governing and the locations of potential information centers. Both
agencies will strive to maintain a roster of certified Public Information
Officers for use during emergencies.
3.The Unified Command will determine which agency will provide the
Lead Information Officer. Typically, it will be the agency with the
most significant commitment of resources to the incident.
D.Representatives of CAL FIRE and CITY of the Battalion Chief or higher rank may order
resources directly from the ECC or DISPATCH when an immediate need arises. These
resources may include engines, fire crews, and bulldozers, per the AGREEMENT.
Resources sent in response to these requests will conform to the closet resources concept.
7.ADMINISTRATION
The CAL FIRE Unit Chief and the CITY Fire Chief, or their designees, along with
representatives from the CAL FIRE ECC and CITY DISPATCH, will meet annually to discuss,
review, and update the following items: procedures for reporting fires, procedures to dispatch
resources to fires within the area of the AGREEMENT, procedures to dispatch resources to fires
along the boundaries of the area of the AGREEMENT, and exchange general or specific
information which would affect the other agency.
a)PLAN objectives are being met.
b)PLAN is achieving the desired results
