  • Humboldt County Fire Services
    Humboldt County Fire Services FIRE CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY Annual Report 2011 To: Humboldt County Board of Supervisors An overview of the Humboldt County Fire Service of 2011 The Fire Service in Humboldt County continues to grow in a positive direction, constantly working towards the goal of promoting county‐wide adoption of procedures and policies through the Fire Chief’s Association with input and regulation from the various groups with‐in such as the Training Instructors, Fire Prevention Officers and the Fire/Arson Investigation Unit. This positive and forward direction is an indication of the great working relationships that have developed among the various departments over the years, and that continues to improve, a feat that is not easy in such a rural setting. These relationships have allowed the fire agencies to foster a team approach both from an operational and an administrative stand point. The effort of forming fire districts for some of the volunteer fire companies with‐in the county, along with the modification of district boundaries in an attempt to provide a better system of protection for many of the Counties’ residents, continues with the help of the Fire Safe Council and County Planning with the support of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. The Fire Chief’s Association would like to acknowledge their appreciation of that consideration and support from the Board. At the same time the Chief’s Association recognizes that the future of the fire service in Humboldt County is dependent upon the Board’s continued support. With fees now being levied by the State in the way of “Fire Prevention Fees” to the residents residing in State Responsibility Areas, there is major concern that funding for many of the rural departments will suffer which makes support by the Board of Supervisors a critical factor in their very survival.

  • 2019 Wildland Fire Season
    Pacific Northwest Fire and Aviation Management 2019 WILDLAND FIRE SEASON A cooperative effort between the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior 1 The 204 Cow Fire, ignited by lightning in August 2019 on the Malheur National Forest, was managed to reduce fuel build-up and restore forest health in an area dominated by beetle- killed trees that had not seen fire in 30 years. Photo Credit: Michael Haas Cover: The lightning-caused Granite Gulch Fire, which started in July 2019, burned in a remote part of the Eagle Cap Wilderness within the Wallowa- Whitman National Forest and was successfully managed to restore ecosystem resiliency. USFS Photo 2 A Season of Extremes: Opportunities in Oregon and Washington, Challenges in Alaska The 2019 fire season was short and inexpensive compared to past years in Oregon and Washington. Resources were on board and ready for an active fire year. Yet, the level of fire activity and resource commitment remained well below what has been experienced in recent years. Recurrent precipitation kept most of the geographic area at or below average levels of fuels dryness. The fuel moisture retention helped minimize severe wildfire activity and enabled firefighters to quickly contain hundreds of fires during initial attack. In Alaska, the situation was very different. Fire conditions warranted the highest preparedness level for an extended period of time. Resources from Oregon and Washington were sent to assist with a long and challenging season. While Alaska focused on wildfire suppression, Oregon and Washington seized opportunities to promote resilient landscapes through proactive fire management when conditions allowed.

  • AN ANALYSIS of WILDFIRE IMPACTS on CLIMATE CHANGE By
    AN ANALYSIS OF WILDFIRE IMPACTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE By: Taylor Gilson Mentor: Dr. Elaine Fagner 1 Abstract Abstract: The western United States (U.S.). has recently seen an increase in wildfires that destroyed communities and lives. This researcher seeks to examine the impact of wildfires on climate change by examining recent studies on air quality and air emissions produced by wildfires, and their impact on climate change. Wildfires cause temporary large increases in outdoor airborne particles, such as particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) and particulate matter 10(PM 10). Large wildfires can increase air pollution over thousands of square kilometers (Berkley University, 2021). The researcher will be conducting this research by analyzing PM found in the atmosphere, as well as analyzing air quality reports in the Southwestern portion of the U.S. The focus of this study is to examine the air emissions after wildfires have occurred in Yosemite National Park; and the research analysis will help provide the scientific community with additional data to understand the severity of wildfires and their impacts on climate change. Project Overview and Hypothesis This study examines the air quality from prior wildfires in Yosemite National Park. This research effort will help provide additional data for the scientific community and local, state, and federal agencies to better mitigate harmful levels of PM in the atmosphere caused by forest fires. The researcher hypothesizes that elevated PM levels in the Yosemite National Park region correlate with wildfires that are caused by natural sources such as lightning strikes and droughts. Introduction The researcher will seek to prove the linkage between wildfires and PM.

  • 2015 Wildfire Season: an Overview, Southwestern U.S. Ecological Restoration Institute and Southwest Fire Science Consortium, Northern Arizona University
    2015 Wildfire Season: An Overview Southwestern U.S. MAY 2016 Intermountain West Frequent-fire Forest Restoration Ecological restoration is a practice that seeks to heal degraded ecosystems by reestablishing native species, structural characteristics, and ecological processes. The Society for Ecological Restoration International defines ecological restoration as “an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability….Restoration attempts to return an ecosystem to its historic trajectory” (Society for Ecological Restoration International Science & Policy Working Group 2004). Most frequent-fire forests throughout the Intermountain West have been degraded during the last 150 years. Many of these forests are now dominated by unnaturally dense thickets of small trees, and lack their once diverse understory of grasses, sedges, and forbs. Forests in this condition are highly susceptible to damaging, stand-replacing fires and increased insect and disease epidemics. Restoration of these forests centers on reintroducing frequent, low-severity surface fires—often after thinning dense stands—and reestablishing productive understory plant communities. The Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University is a pioneer in researching, implementing, and monitoring ecological restoration of frequent-fire forests of the Intermountain West. By allowing natural processes, such as low-severity fire, to resume self-sustaining patterns, we hope to reestablish healthy forests that provide ecosystem services, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is a way for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science. SWFSC’s goal is to see the best available science used to make management decisions and scientists working on the questions managers need answered.
