This is not an exhaustive list as other organisations may be involved throughout the incident. Fires in waste sites may attract interest from the local community and, depending on the size of the incident, its location and impact on the community, they may attract attention at a national level.
Therefore, it is important that the responding fire and rescue service liaises closely with all interested parties throughout the incident. It is also important to develop a good working relationship with other organisations to develop a joined-up tactical and strategic plan to conclude the incident satisfactorily.
Refer to Incident command for details on tactical, operational and strategic management of an incident.
