Smoke from the blaze, dubbed the El Dorado Fire, could be seen across the desert. Evacuation orders were issued for some residents in the communities of Oak Glen, Forest Falls and Mountain Home Village — a trio of towns clustered near the base of San Gorgonio Mountain. Some residents in eastern Yucaipa, a city about 20 miles southeast of San Bernardino, also were ordered to evacuate, while others remained under evacuation warning. By Saturday night, some evacuation orders were lifted Oak Glen residents who live east of Pine Bench Road are allowed to return home, according to Cal Fire. About 30 homes, primarily located in Oak Glen, were threatened Saturday, but San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey said only one outbuilding was destroyed.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.

  • Wildfire Hazards: Risks and Mitigation
    CHAPTER 11 Wildfire Hazards: Risks and Mitigation 11.1 Identifying and Profiling Wildfire Hazards 11.2 Assessment of Local Wildfire Vulnerability and Potential Losses 11.3 Assessment of State Wildfire Vulnerability and Potential Losses 11.4 Mitigation Efforts for Wildfire Hazard Mitigation CHAPTER 11: WILDFIRE 241 11.1 Identifying and Profiling Wildfire Hazards According to the USFS, each year an average of more than 73,000 wildfires burn about 7 million acres of federal, tribal, state and private land and more than 2,600 structures in the United States.1 Firefighters suppress 95% of Utah wildfires on initial attack, but adverse weather and topography, heavy fuel loads and urban development all combine to create catastrophic wildfire conditions in the state. A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire spreading through vegetative fuel often consuming structures and wildlife in its path. Wildland fires often begin unnoticed, spread quickly, and are usually sighted by dense smoke. Scientists estimate that before the colonization of North America, wildfires burned 10 times the land that is consumed today.2 They help to maintain a healthy eco- system and have been a natural and fundamental part of the world’s forests and grasslands for millions of years. Fires cleanse and regenerate forests, giving new life to the soil and encouraging biodiversity. They are responsible for the evolution of many of the grasses, brushes, and tree species found in Utah. Wildfires are classified as Wildland and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). Wildland fires occur in areas where development is- es sentially nonexistent except for roads, railroads, or power lines. WUI fires materialize in a geographical area where structures and other human development adjoins wildlands.
