The North Zone, National Interagency Incident Support Cache is located at the Northern California Service Center in Redding, CA and is part of a network of fifteen Geographic Area Caches, independently hosted, staffed and managed nationwide. We are an all-hazard cache prepared to support a variety of natural disasters including wildland fires, floods, earthquakes, and other homeland security issues. In addition to disaster response, we also provide logistical support to local forests and program areas for many land use activities, training, and presuppression.

Our Mission:

Provide timely, cost effective logistical support to Federal, State, and local government agencies in Northern California as well as satellite support to other Geographic Areas.

Cache Ordering Guidelines:

*** The cache can only enter 100,000 s-numbers for incidents. Any other assigned s-numbers must go through dispatch. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

Replacement Orders are ordered through dispatch.
All communications equipment should be ordered through local dispatch.
Do not send pre-orders to the cache when transitioning incident management teams.
Cache van orders should be placed directly with the cache.

To ensure that you get your items as quickly as possible:

Be sure your Contact Information, Job Codes (w/override) and Delivery Location are correct.
Providing a cell, office and/or alternate phone number and email will help the cache contact you when your items are ready for delivery. Calls from the cache show up as “restricted” or “unknown” on caller ID.
After you submit an order to the cache, call us to verify it was received.
Dispatch Specific: Submit the orders in IROC but do not place them to cache until you have all the requests entered. At that point, go back to either incident screen and at the bottom, select all the requests submitted and press 'Place To Cache' button. That will consolidate all the requests into a single order. Non-consolidated orders may be sent back to dispatch.
