Great Plains Dispatch is interesting

https://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/dispatch_centers/r2gpc/about.htm

not exactly sure what this means - but it seems that they do all of
the wildfire / all risk dispatching for - 2 national forest + 5
national park sites + 4 south dakota state forestry districts + 1.5
counties in Wyoming

possibly the 1.5 counties in Wyoming includes 1 or 2 state forest
wardens - plus making phone calls to the local sheriff to get 10 VFDs
paged - something like that - however blm has an office in newcastle -
not sure if they jave an engine there or not - apparently GPC is NOT
responsible for their initial attack dispatching

background info - it seems that the feds have 2 types of wildfire
dispatching - initial attack + extended attack

- 'initial' attack includes the receipt of initial notification of
fires (from public or FDs or agencies or PDs etc) plus the dispatch
and following (command and control) of initial attack units enroute to
the fire

- 'extended' dispatch is required for any fire that is still not under
control after 1 burning period - typically 12 to 24 hours after
initial dispatch - or 'extended dispatch is required anytime that
additional resources beyond the initial dispatch are required at the
scene - extended dispatch has a dedicated dispatcher assigned at the
GPC - basically its any larger fire that has its own dispatcher
working on the communications needs of that 1 specific fire

you know what I am trying to say - let's see if I can find an official
definition

from the 2011 calif fire mob guide

1.1 – INITIAL ATTACK - Initial attack is the aggressive response to a
wildland fire based on values to be protected, benefits of response,
and reasonable cost of response. These response actions are based upon
decisions from the units wildland fire response plan of the area.
These incidents are controlled by initial attack forces within the
first operational period without the need for major reinforcements.
