What is State Mobilization?
State mobilization is a process used to quickly notify, assemble and deploy fire service personnel and equipment to any local fire jurisdiction in the state that has expended, or will expend, all available local and mutual aid resources in attempting to manage fires, disasters and other all-hazard events that threaten a community.

• Mechanical failure or physical damage is included in the “wet rate” and is not reimbursable. Examples include: o Mechanical breakdowns (including major items such as
motor, transmission). o Body damage (minor and major) such as scratches, dents
and fender damage. o Incidental loss or damage to apparatus, equipment or
personal property.
Washington State Patrol
Office of the State Fire Marshal
Procured Items • Needed items can usually be procured from two areas at Base
Camp: • Communications Unit
o Portable Radios and batteries • Supply Unit (Type1-2 Incidents)
o Hose, Nozzles and Fittings o Personal Protective Equipment o Sleeping Pads, Sleeping Bags o Line Flagging
• With the exception of consumable items (such as flagging tape and replacement foam), procured items must be returned prior to demobe. A good rule of thumb, if you are required to sign for the equipment - you must return it. If you are not sure, please ask!

Primary consideration is for the safety of the responders and apparatus!
Washington State Patrol
Office of the State Fire Marshal
Safety Precautions
Driving Safety Remain aware of your surroundings. Avoid excessive speed, especially on steep
grades. Headlights on for safety. Increase following distance when traveling in
a strike team. Keep windshields clean. Use emergency lights in heavy smoke or
dust conditions. Use a spotter when backing. Do not drive through heavy smoke where
you cannot see. Use wheel chocks.
Washington State Patrol
