Fire Management Regions and Staff
DFPC Wildland Fire Regions are divided into 4 districts. Each district has 4 supervisory District Chiefs (DCs), 4 Deputy District Chiefs, and 14 regions with 14 Regional Battalion Chiefs (BCs). District and Battalion Chiefs assist local agencies with preparedness, planning, training, coordination, and response. They serve as subject matter experts and provide technical assistance to local agencies during wildfire incidents. Furthermore, they fill incident command positions when requested. On large, extended attack fires, DCs and BCs conduct assessments to determine eligibility for State Responsibility and serve as Agency Administrators and Agency Representatives.
