  • Ferguson Fire Wreaks Havoc on Valley
    Ferguson Fire wreaks havoc on Valley air By Calley Cederlof Visalia Delta-Times, Wednesday, July 18, 2018 Central Valley residents woke to ashes on their cars Wednesday morning. It's a sign the smoke from the Ferguson Fire, burning near Yosemite National Park, has made its way into Tulare County. The high-pressure system over the West has kept smoke bottled up, limiting the use of firefighting aircraft and endangering people with health conditions. “Use common sense," Mariposa County officials said. "If it looks smoky outside it’s probably not a good time to go for a run. And it’s probably not a good time for your children to play outdoors." The blaze, which has grown to more than 17,000 acres, is being fed in large part by thousands of dead trees that were killed by a drought that has gripped California for several years. Due to the fire, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District issued a health cautionary for Tulare, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera and Fresno counties. Tulare County's air quality went from moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups within a day. Like Yosemite visitors, travelers to Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks should also take precautions. On Wednesday, the air quality forecast was worse for the nearby national parks than in the Valley floor, according to air quality officials. “Our air quality isn’t any better,” said Sintia Kawasaki-Yee, spokeswoman for Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. “Even if you can’t see it.” Air quality is tested through sensors placed at Lodgepole Campground every day at the parks.

In response to the Commission’s June 15, 2018 request for additional studies, January 22, 2019 request for additional information, and May 13, 2019 letter approving the Fire Study Plan, with modifications, the Company herein submits its Fire Study Report (Study 28). The Commission’s May 13, 2019 letter requested the Company to file the results of the modified Fire Study by June 30, 2019. The Company has actively solicited information required to complete the Fire Study Report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (“USFS”) and the enclosed study report represents the Company’s best efforts to complete the study in the absence of the USFS information. The Company notes that there are a small number of yellow highlights throughout the document – particularly Section 6 and Section 7 – where additional operation-specific information is needed from the USFS. While more detailed information specific to USFS operations and capabilities will be helpful to understand the impact of the proposed project on USFS fire suppression capabilities, the information provided in the Study Report submitted herewith addresses the objectives of the Commission’s June 30, 2019 study request letter by including a robust analysis of fire risk and fuel loading, potential project effects on fire suppression activities, and the availability of the upper reservoir water for firefighting.

    Department of Geography Spring 2019 Colloquium May 8th, 2019 7:00 PM – 9:45 PM Program Poster Session – 7:00PM – 9:45PM (Peterson Hall 2nd Floor) Social Vulnerability in Communities Affected by the Thomas Fire Disaster by Lluvia Lastra, Lilian Yang, Segnide Guidimadjegbe, and Andrew Siwabessy The burden of hazard prevention and of loss in communities on the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is often unequally shouldered along socioeconomic lines. The changing nature of social vulnerability in these communities, in light of the dynamic fire regime, is not well studied in the context of southern California. In this study this shift is characterized by analyzing the 2017-2018 Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow events using a mixed methodology approach. Maps of structural damage are created using Cal Fire parcel-level damage data in a geographical information system (GIS). Demographic data is reduced from Census block group information using principal component analysis (PCA) and is re- represented as a social vulnerability index (SoVI) after Cutter (2003). To identify socially vulnerable groups that are not obvious from Census data, we utilized a content analysis of newspaper articles published by the Santa Barbara Independent to further inform the geospatial analysis. Although the spatial analysis did not identify an explicit correlation between our SoVI and damage extent, qualitative enrichment offered explanations for damage extent outlier block groups and identified vulnerable groups that were missed by the spatial analysis.

Anderson, Angeles National Forest Hydrologist I. Objectives This report summarizes the results from the hydrologic assessment of the Holy Fire in the center of the Santa Ana Mountains as part of the Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER). II Potential Values at Risk Values at Risk (VARs) on Forest Service land (FS) are addressed in Appendix D. Many VARs that could be impacted by the fire are on adjacent private, state, county, or local government lands. The State Watershed Emergency Response Team conducted a detailed analysis of non-FS VARs that will be published in a separate document. The FS BAER team and State WERT team collaborate and share information during post-fire assessments to ensure VARs are identified. On private lands, the primary contact for treatments is the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). III. Resource Condition Assessment Fire and Site Description The Holy Fire started on August 06, 2018 at 1:30pm (suspected arson). As of August 21, 2018 the fire had burned 22,982 acres (90% contained). The burn occurred adjacent to California State Highway 74 and Interstate 15. Much of the Holy Fire last burned between 1940-80’s.

  • Coarse and Fine Particulate Matter Components of Wildland Fire Smoke at Devils Postpile National Monument, California, USA
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 19: 1463–1470, 2019 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2019.04.0219 Coarse and Fine Particulate Matter Components of Wildland Fire Smoke at Devils Postpile National Monument, California, USA Donald Schweizer1,2*, Ricardo Cisneros2, Monica Buhler3 1 USDA Forest Service, Bishop, CA 93514, USA 2 University of California, Merced, CA 95343, USA 3 Devils Postpile National Monument, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546, USA ABSTRACT Fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10) particulate matter were monitored during the summer and fall of 2018 at Devils Postpile National Monument, California, USA. This remote site, located in the Sierra Nevada, was downwind of a number of wildland fires that were burning in California. The coarse (PM2.5-10) and the fine (PM2.5) fractions of the PM in the wildland fire smoke showed median PM2.5-10/PM2.5 ratios of .47 and 1.37 during periods with and without smoke, respectively. The concentrations at ground level were significantly (p < 0.001) higher during the periods with smoke for both the PM2.5-10 –3 –3 (10.3 µg m ) and the PM2.5 (35.3 µg m ), although the PM2.5 contributed most of the increase. These concentrations suggest that the fire size and intensity along with the distance and transport of smoke determine the exposure risk to humans. Current exposure estimates obtained via modeling and emission estimates may misrepresent ground-level concentrations due to a lack of understanding of the aerosol distribution in an aging wildland fire smoke plume.
