    5Th International Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference Portland, Oregon

    5th International Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference Portland, Oregon April 11-14, 2016 Oral Presentation Abstracts 1. Is It Time To Say Goodbye to Fire Rotations? Cecil Frost, Landscape Fire Ecologist, University of North Carolina Abstract: The idea of fire rotations goes back to widespread dawning, in the 1960s, of the realization that we had to get fire back into the woods. This was a part of a ponderous midstream turnaround that began with a few small voices such as H.H. Chapman, speaking against the unresistable tide of fire suppression of the early 20th century. Movement in the new direction toward restoration of fire gained way with early publications in the Proceedings of the Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conferences from 1960- 1966. The idea of fire rotations at its simplest was to take a natural area, say a 500,000 acre national forest, and if you had the resources to burn 5000 acres a year, start in one place, burn the next 5000 acres the next year and so on until you had reached the beginning. 500,000/5000 = 100 years to complete one rotation. This, we now can see, is a long term recipe for disaster. What we see from the most recent iterations of LANDFIRE—from Florida, through the central grasslands to the Palouse prairie of eastern Oregon and Washington—is that most of the U.S. was a non-seral landscape, naturally stabilized by frequent fire—the more frequent, the more stable. Within this fire system, recent maps show that local fire frequency at fine scales was far more complex than previously perceived.

Introduction The information in this report comes from wildland fire incidents—from various agencies—submitted to and gathered by the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center (LLC) in 2019. The primary source of data is accident reports (FLA, RLS, SAI, etc.). Most of these reports have been posted to the LCC’s Incident Reviews Database. SAFENETs and other data sources have been included when no actual report could be located. This year we collected information on 95 incidents. We have combed through these reports and extracted specific lessons and compiled a few numbers. Use this information to inform your future operations. Turn these lessons into learning. Throughout this report, this Action Icon identifies training curriculum related to the topic. If you are an instructor, you will need to look at each exercise ahead of time to pull up videos or to print reading material. 2 2.
