I really got sucked up by some other matters. I will continue.

All the above lines have the note " All NIFC Commands are linked together" I wonder if this includes the CDF CMD 8 repeater?

Offhand, I don't know what the Hennessey, etc. notes are on the right side, maybe individual fires?
Whew!! I think that might be the most complex comm plan I've ever seen. It has extensive use of NIFC Commands and Tacs, including one of the Tac 5-7 group, which used to be the BLM's old national cache set. It has NIFC commands (with Commands 8, 9 & 12 being on the federal VHF Incident Response Group); NIFC Command 26, which is a frequency assigned from the local "federal unused frequencies in the area" one time assignment group); NIFOG V Tacs; Cal Fire Command 8 and several tacs, several V Fire frequencies, CALCORD; and of course, National Air Guard for emergencies. Not only that, but likely a Cal Fire Command tied in with several NIFC Commands into a 5 channel multicast command net. Not mentioned is that NIFC command linking federal UHF frequencies are likely involved and we don't know if NIFC federal UHF Camp Nets. NIFC federal UHF logistics repeaters and NIFC federal UHF remote base linking for VHF AM Aviation frequencies have been deployed. The Air Operation Summary shows 7 Type I helitankers and 8 other helos, two of which might be Type I helitankers as well. I'm not going to research the make and model of each ship to figure out the type of each of these ships. I think 3 of the helitankers are National Guard Ships. There are aviation overhead positions labeled "AOBD, ASGS, HEBM, ATGS (2) and HLCO." These stand for: AOBD, Air Operations Branch Director; ASGS, Air Support Group Supervisor; HEBM, Helibase Manager; and HLCO, Helicopter Coordinator Boss.
I'm keeping a copy of the entire Incident Action Plan (IAP) for this one. It is the most complex IAP I've ever seen, although I've only been on 108 fires as a USFS employee and 2 as a Sheriff's Department RACES team member. I was in southern California during some Santa Ana wind events on a handful of fires and Yellowstone in 1988, but I kick myself for not keeping just one of the IAP's I had in my hands during my 6 months there. I was on the North Fork Fire, the largest of the complex. The only thing I'm not seeing here is the use of any of the National Area Command Teams. The feds would have done it for this many large fires, but I think Cal Fire is not wanting to hand over control of all of these fires/complexes to a federal team, although Cal Fire probably has members on one of those four teams. Oh lord, I just can't seem to get fire out of my blood. I'm very sad for the people who have lost their homes and those terrified during some close calls during evacuations.
One more complex to list.
