Media

Large and complex incidents usually attract attention and the media. A bureau public information specialist is very useful during BAER incidents, and become familiar with Interagency Media Guidelines for Wildland Fires. Maintaining area media contacts is useful (e.g., Arizona media contacts, New Mexico fax numbers).
