 The Great Basin Lend/Lease Policy is an effective and efficient way of managing resources that are either unavailable or where incidents only need resources for a limited time expediently. GBCG Correspondence:  This informal agreement between incidents is to share assigned resources for a limited period of time. Lend/ Lease should not exceed 48 hours. 10

 Roles and Responsibilities o Plans, Operations and Aviation Will coordinate amongst affected incidents on resources shared/lent. Ensure Lend/Lease does not exceed 48 hours. If lend/lease exceeds 48 hours discussion regarding re-assignment of the resource should occur through appropriate channels. o Finance Finance Section Chiefs will coordinate to ensure costs are included in the receiving incident database as a line item, not actual posted time. E-ISuite entry Will read “resource loan from incident xx.” The original incident will post time using the Fire Code from the receiving fire. The receiving incident will mark the line item to “exclude” as accrual (accrual will be determined via the sending incident data base). All standard documentation (excess shift lengths, CA-1, etc.) will be completed by the receiving incident and sent to the sending incident. Provide resources used on multiple incidents a copy of the spreadsheet identifying the lend/lease. This document authorizes the charges and serves as supporting documentation in lieu of the resource order. Document on invoice or OF-288 “Lend/Lease Authorized.” 11

 Roles and Responsibilities o Dispatch ROSS should not be impacted by the lend/lease program. Copies of the spreadsheet showing movement of resources will be provided to dispatch daily after the event has occurred o Geographic Area Coordination Centers (GACC) Coordinate with National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) when call when needed (CWN) aircraft are involved. o Incident Business Advisor Ensure the Great Basin Lend/Lease Policy documentation occurs when sharing resources. Review spreadsheets and ensure the Dispatch Center Manager or designee has received a copy o Area Command Coordinate with GMAC Coordinator when resources are being lent or reassigned. 12

 General: o Length of assignment will not be affected by lend/lease, all days count towards the original assignment length. o Lend/Lease contract resources previously inspected by the sending unit should not be re-inspected by the receiving unit. o Lend/Lease does not impact those resources hired as “Incident Only” or on a Dispatch Priority List (DPL). If resources are re- assigned discussions should occur to ensure policies are met.  Reassignment of Resources: o Incidents, Area Command and GMAC will follow normal dispatch procedures for the reassignment of resources. 13

 Documentation: o Copies of the spreadsheet will be maintained in both the sending and receiving finance section packages. o Copies will also be maintained by the local dispatch center. o Send a copy with the payment package 14

 D Government Furnished Hose and Complements o When the Government requires the Contractor to leave Contractor- owned hose and/or complements on an incident, the Government will provide the Contractor with Form AD-107 Report of Transfer of Property (or equivalent) to transfer the Contractor’s property to the Government. o In the case of reassignments, the Contractor shall present the form to the supply unit at the incident who will loan the Contractor Government-furnished hose and/or complement. This will be done to ensure that the Contractor maintains viability (the ability to continue operations) at the reassigned incident. At the time of demobilization to the Designated Dispatch Point, all accountable/durable property shall be returned to the government. o If the resource is being demobilized, no government hose or complement is issued.
