  • FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § the Warm Fire Started from a Lightning
    FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § The Warm fire started from a lightning strike on June 8, 2006 a few miles south of Jacob Lake, between Highway 67 and Warm Springs (which gave the fire its name) and could easily have been extinguished with a canteen and a shovel. The North Kaibab instead declared it a Wildland Fire Use fire, and was delighted. Previous efforts with WFUs had occurred during the summer storm season and had yielded small, low-intensity burns that “did not produce desired effects.” The district had committed to boosting its burned acres and had engineered personnel transfers to make that happen. Since large fires historically occurred in the run-up to the summer monsoon season, when conditions were maximally hot, dry, and windy, the Warm fire promised to rack up the desired acres.1 For three days the fire behaved as hoped. On June 11 the district decided to request a Fire Use Management Team to help run the fire, which was now over a hundred acres and blowing smoke across the sole road to the North Rim, and so required ferrying vehicles under convoy. On June 13 the FUMT assumed command of the fire. Briefings included a warning that the fire could not be allowed to enter a region to the southeast which was a critical habitat for the Mexican spotted owl. The “maximum management area” allotted for the fire was 4,000 acres. That day the fire spotted across the highway, outside the prescribed zone. The FUMT and district ranger decided to seize the opportunity to allow the fire to grow and get some “bonus acres.” The prescribed zone was increased; then increased again as the fire, now almost 7,000 acres, crossed Forest Road 225, another prescribed border.
