Heavy Equipment All Hazard Task Force

The Heavy Equipment All-Risk Taskforce Ad-Hoc Subcommittee will examine current practices statewide, identify gaps in training and resource typing, and assess whether a standardized Heavy Equipment All-Risk Taskforce (HEAT) resource, aligned with existing FIRESCOPE systems, would improve interoperability, safety, and operational effectiveness during these complex incident. By advancing this initiative within FIRESCOPE, the Ad-Hoc Subcommittee will work toward a unified framework for safe, consistent, and efficient heavy-equipment utilization across all-risk disciplines, strengthening California’s overall emergency response capability.​
