Feature Label: <b>FFMVic response area 1.5km zone</b>
Feature Description: The 'FFMVic response area 1.5km zone' layer, is a new zone outlined in the FRV-DELWP Agreement to enable FFMVic personnel to suppress fire within that zone within their normal operating capabilities. The 1.5km zone occurs only around relevant public land ( that is, State Forest, Protected Public Land, National Park, or Parks Victoria managed land outside of those public land areas of the FPA). This 1.5km Zone <b>is not</b> a responsibility area for FFMVic.<br><br>Situations in which FFMVic personnel may need to operate within the 1.5km zone include, following a bushfire that moves out of relevant public land (as defined above) into FRV district; or responding to a grassfire or bushfire in FRV district (within the 1.5km zone) which may impact relevant public land. FRV <b>remain the control agency</b> in this zone and <b>must</b> be notified of FFMVic operations within this zone. FFMVic <b>must not</b> follow a fire further into FRV district outside of the 1.5km zone without first receiving expressed direction or request from FRV.<br><br>There are operating protocols available on Tarnook explaining this 1.5km zone and the notification process further.
