This includes Forest employees, volunteers and liaisons involved with activities such as road maintenance, trail maintenance, OHV patrols, adopt-a-trail programs, developed recreation and administrative sites, fire management, dispersed area patrols, environmental education, restoration/planting, fire crew training (e.g., line construction, tree felling). G-2 2017 Actions: SBNF biologists/botanists continue to coordinate and educate appropriate personnel on an ongoing basis to raise awareness of the issues, concerns, and locations. Hard copy map books were not created in 2017 but coordination and communication to ensure awareness of sensitive areas continued with appropriate staffs. Fire staff and Line Officers were provided the 2017 Updated Aerial Retardant Avoidance Area Map Books and pre-season training about the need to coordinate for activities in those areas. The mapped avoidance areas highlighted in the Aerial Retardant Avoidance Area Map Books cover the riparian T/E sites of concern. SBNF biologists continue to work with the GIS personnel to develop a layer of important source sites for coordination with internal and external entities.

Design Criteria for Riparian Obligate Species UTS ARTO MYLF SWWF LBVI SBKR DOLE Thurman Flats Picnic Area G-12 2017 Actions: Instead of sending a letter, the SBNF has determined that a different approach may be more effective and feasible. Over the past few years, event promoters that have been conducting events on an annual basis have been informed about the avoidance areas and advised to select routes that do not have seasonal restrictions or change the date of their event to outside the LOP. When an application from a new event promoter is received, these design features are included as conditions for any motorized event permit. Event coordinators can choose to use the seasonal avoidance guidelines by rerouting their events or changing the timing of the event. Otherwise, they have to work with the SBNF to conduct NEPA (likely with USFWS consultation).

Design Criteria for Riparian Obligate Species UTS ARTO MYLF SWWF LBVI SBKR DOLE FL-1 2017 Actions: Fire activity for 2017 on the SBNF was relatively light, with most fires being caught during initial attack. According to SBNF FICC dispatch, there was a total of 92 incidents for approximately 3,106 acres on NFS lands. Class G (5,000+ acres) = 0 fires; Class F (1,000-4,999 acres) = 1 fire (Holcomb); Class E (300-999 acres) = 2 fires (Mart and Manzanita); Class D (100-299 acres) = 1 fire (Tower); Class C (10-99 acres) = 6 fires; Class B (.26-10 acres) = 24 fires; and Class A (0-0.25 acres) = 58 fires. Fire and Dispatch use the Retardant Avoidance Area maps to assess the need for when Resource Advisors (READs) should be dispatched to fires. Typically, Resource Advisors are assigned to a fire during extended attack fires. In addition, Resource Advisors are usually contacted during initial attack if a fire is in/near a T/E area identified on the Retardant Avoidance Area maps. MTRD: For the Holcomb Fire, Drew Farr and Robin Eliason acted as READs. Dave Austin assisted with the aerial fire retardant mapping and reporting. Robin Eliason was assigned to the BAER team. SWWF habitat was affected by the fire (but not suppression or BAER actions). FCRD: Kim Boss or Angelica Mendoza acted as READs on the following minor fires: Dollar, Mias, Tower, Mart, Bryant 2, Hidden, Bridge, and Bridge 2 Fires. Scott Eliason acted as READ for the Bryant Fire. Retardant reporting for the Dollar Fire was conducted in July 2017 by Angelica Mendoza, though the mis-application occurred in a mapped water source, it did not occur in known T/E occupied habitat or Critical Habitat.

  • Adapt to More Wildfire in Western North American Forests As Climate
    PERSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE Adapt to more wildfire in western North American forestsasclimatechanges Tania Schoennagela,1, Jennifer K. Balcha,b, Hannah Brenkert-Smithc, Philip E. Dennisond, Brian J. Harveye, Meg A. Krawchukf, Nathan Mietkiewiczb, Penelope Morgang, Max A. Moritzh, Ray Raskeri, Monica G. Turnerj, and Cathy Whitlockk,l Edited by F. Stuart Chapin III, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK, and approved February 24, 2017 (received for review October 25, 2016) Wildfires across western North America have increased in number and size over the past three decades, and this trend will continue in response to further warming. As a consequence, the wildland–urban in- terface is projected to experience substantially higher risk of climate-driven fires in the coming decades. Although many plants, animals, and ecosystem services benefit from fire, it is unknown how ecosystems will respond to increased burning and warming. Policy and management have focused primarily on spec- ified resilience approaches aimed at resistance to wildfire and restoration of areas burned by wildfire through fire suppression and fuels management. These strategies are inadequate to address a new era of western wildfires. In contrast, policies that promote adaptive resilience to wildfire, by which people and ecosystems adjust and reorganize in response to changing fire regimes to reduce future vulnerability, are needed. Key aspects of an adaptive resilience approach are (i) recognizing that fuels reduction cannot alter regional wildfire trends; (ii) targeting fuels reduction to increase adaptation by some ecosystems and residential communities to more frequent fire; (iii) actively managing more wild and prescribed fires with a range of severities; and (iv) incentivizing and planning residential development to withstand inevitable wildfire.

With more than 34 percent of precincts reporting, Measure A has received overwhelming approval, amassing 10,364 votes, which translates to 77 percent of the vote, according to the San Bernardino County Elections Office. Measure A needed a two-thirds majority to pass. Doug Qualls — former Apple Valley Fire Protection District Chief and Measure A’s principal officer — told the Daily Press things are “going well” in the district as a result of the voting. “The threshold of reaching two-thirds of the voters is an extraordinary effort,” Qualls said. “To get two-thirds of the people to agree on something, and we far exceeded that expectation, that’s by commitment to the community.” Qualls called Tuesday’s outcome the result of a reality wherein fire stations need to be reopened; currently just three of the district’s seven fire stations are opened, and emergency-response times are below the national averages. “In 1997,” Qualls said, “the fire district promised the voters that they would deliver the best service they can deliver with the resources provided.

  • Estimating Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazards Prior to Wildfire Using a Statistical Analysis of Historical Distributions of Fire Severity from Remote Sensing Data
    CSIRO PUBLISHING International Journal of Wildland Fire 2018, 27, 595–608 https://doi.org/10.1071/WF17122 Estimating post-fire debris-flow hazards prior to wildfire using a statistical analysis of historical distributions of fire severity from remote sensing data Dennis M.

BU.S. Geological Survey, New Mexico Water Science Center, Albuquerque, NM 87113, USA. CUniversity of Arizona, Department of Geosciences, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Following wildfire, mountainous areas of the western United States are susceptible to debris flow during intense rainfall. Convective storms that can generate debris flows in recently burned areas may occur during or immediately after the wildfire, leaving insufficient time for development and implementation of risk mitigation strategies. We present a method for estimating post-fire debris-flow hazards before wildfire using historical data to define the range of potential fire severities for a given location based on the statistical distribution of severity metrics obtained from remote sensing. Estimates of debris-flow likelihood, magnitude and triggering rainfall threshold based on the statistically simulated fire severity data provide hazard predictions consistent with those calculated from fire severity data collected after wildfire. Simulated fire severity data also produce hazard estimates that replicate observed debris-flow occurrence, rainfall conditions and magnitude at a monitored site in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. Future applications of this method should rely on a range of potential fire severity scenarios for improved pre-fire estimates of debris-flow hazard.
