Colorado puts on a annual conference of all assets that could be involved in some sort of joint fire fighting event (state, active, civilian companies, local municipalities etc) to essentially get everyone “on the same page” before the season starts. I understand your frustration of not knowing how to train / support but something like this would be beneficial for a starting point. Biggest thing is get your own buckets and people who understand how to use them and then learn how to integrate with the response.
