About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details emergency vehicle marking standards for the Intermountain Region Fire & Aviation, establishing a comprehensive identification system for fire management vehicles. The document provides a structured approach to vehicle identification, including agency and organization identifiers, equipment categorization, and a detailed numbering sequence for various vehicle types such as engines, water tenders, crew carriers, and specialized units like helitack and prevention vehicles.
The marking system uses a standardized format of AA-BBB-WXYZ, where AA represents the state, BBB represents the forest designator, W indicates equipment category, X represents equipment type, Y denotes the district, and Z identifies the specific equipment number. Examples include a Type 4 engine marked as UT-FIF-E411 (Utah, Fishlake National Forest, Engine, Type 4, District 1, Engine 1) and a chase vehicle marked as UT-FIF-UT411. The objectives include rapid identification of emergency vehicles, quick recognition of rank and agency, maintaining a professional organizational appearance, and creating a consistent nomenclature across local, unit, state, and geographic boundaries.

Fire Emergency Vehicle Markings
Objectives of Emergency Vehicle Marking Standards for Fire Management:
· Identify Emergency Vehicle unit and position rapidly on the fire ground
· Identify rank and agency quickly
· Represent the Intermountain Region as a cohesive, professional fire organization while retaining unit identity
· Enhance incident operations through standard nomenclature and design
· Identification/numbering system is effective within local area and across unit, state and geographic area boundaries Emergency Fire Vehicle Marking Specifications:
Agency Identifier: Forest Service Shield.
Placed on driver and passenger side doors. Includes other required agency markings such as “For Official Use Only”, “U.S. Government” and Fleet ID number.
Organization Identifier: The word “FIRE” will be placed as defined in Exhibits.

Unit designator:
AA-BBB
Where:
AA = State BBB = 3 alpha forest designator Equipment designator:
WXYZ
Where:
W = equipment category X = equipment type (Type 4, etc.)
Y = District Z = equipment number
Resource Numbering Sequence:
Unit Level:
Chief (FMO), Deputy Chief(s), Assistants--Single Digit Sequence starting with 1.
Sub-Unit Level:
Division Chief--Single Digit Identifier. Generally the administratively assigned sub-unit number.
Battalion Chief--One or two Digit Identifier. Generally the administratively assigned sub-unit number.
Crews--One Digit Identifier. The number being the sub-unit identifier.
Prevention--One or two digit identifier; the first prevention patrol would be the sub-unit identifier, additional prevention patrols per sub unit would have a second number.
Example: PT 1--identifies the first sub-unit Prevention Patrol PT 12--identifies the second sub-unit Prevention Patrol
Helitack—Three digit identifier; first digit identifier would be type of aircraft, second digit identifies sub unit, third digit identifies Heli Tender(s).
Example: ID-STF-HT341 (Type three helicopter, district four, Heli Tender 1) ID-STF-HT342 (Type three helicopter, district four, Heli Tender 2)
Example: ID-PAF-HT231 (Type two helicopter, district three, Heli Tender 1) ID-PAF-HT232 (Type two helicopter, district three, Heli Tender 2)
Example: Battalion Chief
UT-FIF-BC 1
| State: | Utah | |
