Beaver Creek Fire Incident Documentation 2016

The Beaver Creek Fire began on June 19 as a suspected arson fire and continued burning throughout the summer. By the time the last Incident Management Team left the Beaver Creek Fire, 97 days had passed. The Documentation Unit Leader (DOCL) was maintaining three sets of documents so that each of the agencies involved would have a set. In August, the Incident Business Advisor (IBA) assigned to the Beaver Creek Fire recommended that the agencies order an Archivist to scan and catalog all the documents related to the fire. At first, the agencies were hesitant to agree to this request due to a concern that a complete set of these documents could not be provided. But eventually the agencies did agree and the Archivist (a DOCL) started this work. The documents are now scanned and named following the established document system. The original set of documents will be stored by the incident agency.
