  • Hunting Districts 315 and 580)
    CRAZY MOUNTAINS EMU (Hunting Districts 315 and 580) Description: This 1,708-square-mile EMU includes the Crazy Mountain Range and adjacent foothill and prairie habitats in south central Montana. The area is a mixture of private (78%) and public (22%) lands, including portions of both the Gallatin and Lewis and Clark national forests (16%), state school trust lands (DNRC – 5%), and USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM – 0.2%). Land ownership patterns within the boundary of the national forests are characterized by checkerboard ownership. The EMU contains two roadless areas encompassing 149,467 acres of public and private lands that offer wilderness-type recreation. However, much of this roadless area is not elk habitat. This EMU contains over 590,000 acres of occupied elk habitat (54% of EMU). National forest lands provide a large portion of spring, summer and fall elk habitat, but private lands in mountain foothill and sagebrush-grassland habitats provide over 80% of elk winter range during normal winters and virtually all of the available winter range during severe winters. Public Access: Access by road to elk habitat is limited in most of HD 580 where the checkerboard pattern of land ownership complicates management of access. With few exceptions, public access to elk habitat on the north and east slopes of the Crazies is controlled entirely by private landowners. There are only 3 points in HD 580 where the public may legally access national forest lands – the Big Timber Canyon road in the southeast corner, the Cottonwood Creek/Forest Lake road on the north end and Sixteenmile Creek in the northwest corner of the hunting district.

  • Computational Modeling of Extreme Wildland Fire Events
    Computational modeling of extreme wildland fire events: a synthesis of scientific understanding with applications to forecasting, land management, and firefighter safety Janice L. Coena,b W. Schroederc S Conwayd L Tarnaye a National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado b Corresponding author. [email protected] c NOAA/NESDIS/OSPO/SPSD, College Park, MD d Conway Conservation Group, Incline Village, NV e USDA Forest Service, Region 5 Remote Sensing Laboratory, McClellan, CA ACCEPTED Journal of Computational Science Formal publication location: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jocs.2020.101152 1 Abstract The understanding and prediction of large wildland fire events around the world is a growing interdisciplinary research area advanced rapidly by development and use of computational models. Recent models bidirectionally couple computational fluid dynamics models including weather prediction models with modules containing algorithms representing fire spread and heat release, simulating fire-atmosphere interactions across scales spanning three orders of magnitude. Integrated with weather data and airborne and satellite remote sensing data on wildland fuels and active fire detection, modern coupled weather-fire modeling systems are being used to solve current science problems. Compared to legacy tools, these dynamic computational modeling systems increase cost and complexity but have produced breakthrough insights notably into the mechanisms underlying extreme wildfire events such as fine-scale extreme winds associated with interruptions of the electricity grid and have been configured to forecast a fire's growth, expanding our ability to anticipate how they will unfold. We synthesize case studies of recent extreme events, expanding applications, and the challenges and limitations in our remote sensing systems, fire prediction tools, and meteorological models that add to wildfires' mystery and apparent unpredictability.

  • Some Requirements for Simulating Wildland Fire Behavior Using Insight from Coupled Weather—Wildland Fire Models
    fire Review Some Requirements for Simulating Wildland Fire Behavior Using Insight from Coupled Weather—Wildland Fire Models Janice Coen ID National Center for Atmospheric Research, P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80301, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-303-497-8986 Received: 29 December 2017; Accepted: 6 February 2018; Published: 9 February 2018 Abstract: A newer generation of models that interactively couple the atmosphere with fire behavior have shown an increased potential to understand and predict complex, rapidly changing fire behavior. This is possible if they capture intricate, time-varying microscale airflows in mountainous terrain and fire-atmosphere feedbacks. However, this benefit is counterbalanced by additional limitations and requirements, many arising from the atmospheric model upon which they are built. The degree to which their potential is realized depends on how coupled models are built, configured, and applied. Because these are freely available to users with widely ranging backgrounds, I present some limitations and requirements that must be understood and addressed to achieve meaningful fire behavior simulation results. These include how numerical weather prediction models are formulated for specific scales, their solution methods and numerical approximations, optimal model configurations for common scenarios, and how these factors impact reproduction of fire events and phenomena. I discuss methods used to adjust inadequate outcomes and advise on critical interpretation of fire modeling results, such as where errors from model limitations may be misinterpreted as natural unpredictability. I discuss impacts on other weather model-based applications that affect understanding of fire behavior and effects. Keywords: community models; coupled atmosphere-fire model; numerical weather prediction; fire model; CAWFE; WRF 1.

  • 2. Fire Management Strategies
    GGNRA Fire Management Plan Page 19 CHAPTER 2 – FIRE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES 2. FIRE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES 2.1 FIRE MANAGEMENT GOALS As part of the NEPA process for the FMP, GGNRA staff developed goals for the overall fire management program based on guidance from Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy, NPS Management Policies, Director’s Order #18, and other fire-related guidance documents, in conjunction with public input from meetings and workshops. In the listing below, elements of the adopted FMP alternative are paired with the seven FMP goals to demonstrate how the selected alternative will help the park achieve the goals of the FMP. Goal 1. Ensure that firefighter and public safety is the highest priority for all fire management activities. Objectives: √ In cooperation with Bay Area Network Parks, provide the fire management workforce with the training, equipment, operating procedures, safety measures, and information needed to manage risks and carry out their activities safely. √ Ensure that all fire management employees meet the Interagency Qualification Standards for their positions and those held while assigned to an incident. √ Identify, inform, and protect visitors, communities, park partners, and other groups and individuals that potentially would be affected by fire management activities. √ Comply with the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and agency medical standards and fitness requirements for staff and make sure staff has personal protective equipment appropriate to the job or assignment. √ Follow all aviation policies and practices during fire management activities. The fire management officer or designee will stay abreast of aviation policy changes by maintaining periodic contact with the regional aviation manager and the designated park Aviation Officer.
