## PIDC 2005 ANNUAL REPORT

- PIDC had an active year making up almost 50% of the regions total acres burned with 50% of those acres coming from Kansas.
- There was 1 type 1, 1 type 2 and 4 type 3 incidents in our zone.  We recorded Wildland fires in every month of the year showing that there is no such thing as an established season as we burned all year long due to our geographic area we cover from plains to the mountains.
- We started out fairly normal with moisture and temperatures throughout the zone and experienced our normal lightning and human activity.  There were fewer wind events during the spring and summer but more during the fall and winter. We normally see a slow down in September and this year we went into a fall season actively burning into October.
- We staffed 24 hours to support going incidents 34 days which was less then normal.  We had an expanded organization in place for 21 days during our highest fire activity period and used expanded overall for 39 days.
- One of the biggest highlights of the year came when a SEAT Base was established in Elkhart, Ks. The first of its kind since PIDC had been established. Along with mobilizing 60 Type 1 and 2 engines for structure protection on the Mason incident, PIDC was able to fill 54 of the engines from within zone which assisted in no structures being lost during the incident.
- We ended the year going from very mild weather to very cold weather back to above normal temperatures with records for Christmas day of 73 degrees, which has led to less rain and snow for our area for the last 2 months of the year.
- PIDC is still seeing an increase of incidents ranging from 2% to 7% each of the last 3 years while the budget continues to decrease.
- The second notable point was the successful incorporation of the San Luis Valley fire program into PIDC, where we provided dispatching service for the Rio Grande N.F., San Luis Valley public Lands Center-BLM and the National Park Service.
