The studies and strategy documents—have been hampered by limited information Forest Service contracts for large and collaboration. Specifically, the studies and strategy documents did not airtankers and certain other aircraft, incorporate information on the performance and effectiveness of firefighting while Interior contracts for smaller aircraft, primarily because neither agency collected such data. While government airtankers and water scoopers. reports have long called for the Forest Service and Interior to collect aircraft However, a decrease in the number of performance information, neither agency did so until 2012 when the Forest large airtankers, from 44 in 2002 to 8 in Service began a data collection effort. However, the Forest Service has collected early 2013—due to aging planes and several fatal crashes—has led to limited data on large airtankers and no other aircraft, and Interior has not initiated concerns about the agencies’ ability to a data collection effort.

The fire burned vigorously throughout the day on Washington Department of Natural Resource and Okanogan County Fire District 6 protected lands and also the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The majority of the left flank of the fire is lined with dozer line from the heel of the fire to First Creek Road which ties into Forest Road 140 leading to Buck Lake. The north flank remains unchecked at this time. The northeast flank is backing down toward West Chewuch Road where it had crossed north of the junction of the East and West Chewuch Road to Heaton Homestead. The fire is also located east of Boulder Creek Road and is burning towards the north being pushed by diurnal winds. Northwest Incident Management Team 8 assumed management of the fire this evening at 6 p.m. Tonight, a night shift of firefighters include a 20-person handcrew, five engines, and multiple overhead. The Washington State structure strike team has been reassigned to protect properties in the Cub Creek 2 Fire. 8 Mile Ranch is the designated staging area.

  • Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management
    Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management Ross W. Gorte Specialist in Natural Resources Policy July 5, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33990 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management Summary The Forest Service (FS) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) are responsible for protecting most federal lands from wildfires. Wildfire appropriations nearly doubled in FY2001, following a severe fire season in the summer of 2000, and have remained at relatively high levels. The acres burned annually have also increased over the past 50 years, with the six highest annual totals occurring since 2000. Many in Congress are concerned that wildfire costs are spiraling upward without a reduction in damages. With emergency supplemental funding, FY2008 wildfire funding was $4.46 billion, more than in any previous year. The vast majority (about 95%) of federal wildfire funds are spent to protect federal lands—for fire preparedness (equipment, baseline personnel, and training); fire suppression operations (including emergency funding); post-fire rehabilitation (to help sites recover after the wildfire); and fuel reduction (to reduce wildfire damages by reducing fuel levels). Since FY2001, FS fire appropriations have included funds for state fire assistance, volunteer fire assistance, and forest health management (to supplement other funds for these three programs), economic action and community assistance, fire research, and fire facilities. Four issues have dominated wildfire funding debates. One is the high cost of fire management and its effects on other agency programs. Several studies have recommended actions to try to control wildfire costs, and the agencies have taken various steps, but it is unclear whether these actions will be sufficient.

  • Drone Swarms in Fire Suppression Activities: a Conceptual Framework
    drones Article Drone Swarms in Fire Suppression Activities: A Conceptual Framework Elena Ausonio 1 , Patrizia Bagnerini 1,* and Marco Ghio 2 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering (DIME), Polytechnic School, University of Genoa, 16145 Genoa, Italy; [email protected] 2 Inspire S.r.l., University of Genoa Spin-off, Via Marcello Durazzo 1/9, 16122 Genoa, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The recent huge technological development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide breakthrough means of fighting wildland fires. We propose an innovative forest firefighting system based on the use of a swarm of hundreds of UAVs able to generate a continuous flow of extinguishing liquid on the fire front, simulating the effect of rain. Automatic battery replacement and extinguishing liquid refill ensure the continuity of the action. We illustrate the validity of the approach in Mediterranean scrub first computing the critical water flow rate according to the main factors involved in the evolution of a fire, then estimating the number of linear meters of active fire front that can be extinguished depending on the number of drones available and the amount of extinguishing fluid carried. A fire propagation cellular automata model is also employed to study the evolution of the fire. Simulation results suggest that the proposed system can provide the flow of water required to fight low-intensity and limited extent fires or to support current forest firefighting techniques. Keywords: drone swarm; unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); firefighting methods; wildfire suppression; cellular automata Citation: Ausonio, E.; Bagnerini, P.; Ghio, M.
