Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide wildland fire dispatchers?
Wildland Fire Dispatch Personnel (NWCG Dispatch Positions)
Yes.
KDT provides wildland fire dispatch personnel to the NWCG Wildland Fire Position Catalog, including Initial Attack and Aircraft Dispatchers and expanded dispatch coordinators, supervisors, support dispatchers and recorders, as single positions or a full expanded dispatch staff.
Typical configuration
- Standard
- NWCG Wildland Fire Position Catalog, Dispatch functional area
- Ordering
- Single resource, a few positions, or a full expanded dispatch
- Functions
- Initial attack, aircraft, crew, equipment, overhead and supply ordering
- Equipment
- Can be ordered with KDT radios, satellite connectivity and office kits
When a dispatch center gets busy, initial attack keeps going while a large fire starts generating hundreds of resource orders. Expanded dispatch takes the large fire's ordering off the initial attack desk so neither one slows the other down. The NWCG catalog covers both sides: initial attack and aircraft dispatchers, and an expanded dispatch organization of coordinators, supervisory dispatchers, support dispatchers and recorders.
KDT staffs dispatch positions with personnel qualified to the standard the center requires and works within the host agency's ordering systems and procedures. Order a single support dispatcher for a busy week or an expanded dispatch staff for a long fire. KDT can also bring the radios, connectivity and office equipment a temporary expanded dispatch room needs.
