    10.26.17 v.2 CJT Northern Region Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Post-Fire BAER Assessment October 26, 2017 BAER Information: (415) 881-1871 LOLO PEAK POST-FIRE BAER ASSESSMENT REPORT SUMMARY FS-2500-8 Burned-Area Report: Watershed Analysis, Condition, and Response The Lolo Peak Fire, which was ignited by a lightning strike on July 15, 2017, is located on the Bitterroot, Lolo and Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests (NFs), southwest of Lolo, Montana. The fire was managed for full suppression since its start, but steep terrain, high temperatures, low relative humidity, high pre-existing tree mortality, and gusty winds promoted fire spread. For about six weeks, the fire spread steadily to the east toward Lolo. As of September 28, 2017, the fire burned 43,096 acres on Forest Service System (NFS) land, 845 acres on state land, and 9,522 acres on private land. The Lolo Peak Fire includes a variety of vegetation types that are aspect, elevation, and slope dependent. The dominant vegetation types within the burned area are dry, mixed coniferous forests (lodgepole pine, western larch, Douglas fir, and ponderosa pine) and cool moist coniferous forests (subalpine fir). At lower elevations and on south facing slopes, open grown ponderosa pine forests are common. The burned area was surveyed and assessed by a BAER team comprised of Forest Service scientists and specialists. The BAER team evaluated the burned watersheds to determine post-fire conditions, and identify values-at-risk such as threats to human life and safety, property, and critical natural and cultural resources. In addition to these critical values, other threats were also assessed, such as the risk for increased post-fire flooding, sediment flows, rock slides, hazard trees and noxious weed spread.
