This Forest Order will be effective from December 10, 2020 through January 6, 2021. This Order supersedes Forest Order No. 05-15-00-20-20. On the evening of September 4, 2020, a wildfire ignited below Camp Sierra on the High Sierra Ranger District, in the Sierra National Forest. By December 7, 2020, the Creek Fire had grown from its original size of 3 acres to more than 379,895 acres and is currently at 96% containment. The Creek Fire grew so quickly one afternoon that it encircled a popular boat launch and lake area. As a result, 224 people were entrapped by the fire and had to be evacuated by helicopters from the Army National Guard. The Fire has burned across both the Bass Lake and High Sierra Ranger Districts, within Madera and Fresno Counties. Popular corridors associated with forest visitor use on both districts were heavily impacted by the fire in areas that include Sky Ranch, Beasore, Central Camp, Mammoth Pool, Huntington Lake and Kaiser Pass roads.

(Photo credit: American Red Cross) Opposite Page: Painting of Harris Fire by Kate Dore, based on photo by Wes Schultz. 2 Introductory Statement In October of 2007, a series of large wildfires ignited and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in Southern California. The fires displaced nearly one million residents, destroyed thousands of homes, and sadly took the lives of 10 people. Shortly after the fire siege began, a team was commissioned by CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service and OES to gather data and measure the response from the numerous fire agencies involved. This report is the result of the team’s efforts and is based upon the best available information and all known facts that have been accumulated. In addition to outlining the fire conditions leading up to the 2007 siege, this report presents statistics —including availability of firefighting resources, acreage engaged, and weather conditions—alongside the strategies that were employed by fire commanders to create a complete day-by-day account of the firefighting effort. The ability to protect the lives, property, and natural resources of the residents of California is contingent upon the strength of cooperation and coordination among federal, state and local firefighting agencies.

    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BE

    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

    NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT HURRICANE ALEX (AL012016) 12 – 15 January 2016 Eric S. Blake National Hurricane Center 13 September 2016 NASA-MODIS VISIBLE IMAGE OF ALEX AT 1530 UTC 14 JANUARY 2016. Alex was a very unusual January hurricane in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, making landfall on the island of Terceira in the Azores as a 55-kt tropical storm. Hurricane Alex 2 Hurricane Alex 12 – 15 JANUARY 2016 SYNOPTIC HISTORY The precursor disturbance to Alex was first noted over northwestern Cuba on 6 January as a weak low along a stationary front. A strong mid-latitude shortwave trough caused the disturbance to intensify into a well-defined frontal wave near the northwestern Bahamas by 0000 UTC 7 January. The extratropical low then moved northeastward, passing about 75 n mi north of Bermuda late on 8 January. Steered under an anomalous blocking pattern over the east-central Atlantic Ocean, the system turned east-southeastward by 10 January, and strengthened to a hurricane-force extratropical low. The change in track caused the system to move over warmer (and anomalously warm) waters, and moderate convection near the center on that day helped initiate the system’s transition to a tropical cyclone. The low began to weaken as it lost its associated fronts, diving to the south-southeast late on 11 January around a mid-latitude trough over the eastern Atlantic. Significant changes were noted the next day, with the large area of gale-force winds shrinking and becoming more symmetric about the cyclone’s center. Convection also increased near the low, and by 1800 UTC 12 January, frontal boundaries appeared to no longer be associated with the cyclone.

    Post-Fire Treatment Effectiveness for Hillslope Stabilization

    United States Department of Agriculture Post-Fire Treatment Forest Service Rocky Mountain Effectiveness for Research Station General Technical Hillslope Stabilization Report RMRS-GTR-240 August 2010 Peter R. Robichaud, Louise E. Ashmun, and Bruce D. Sims A SUMMARY OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THE Robichaud, Peter R.; Ashmun, Louise E.; Sims, Bruce D. 2010. Post-fire treatment effectiveness for hill- slope stabilization. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-240. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 62 p. Abstract This synthesis of post-fire treatment effectiveness reviews the past decade of research, monitoring, and product development related to post-fire hillslope emergency stabilization treatments, including erosion barri- ers, mulching, chemical soil treatments, and combinations of these treatments. In the past ten years, erosion barrier treatments (contour-felled logs and straw wattles) have declined in use and are now rarely applied as a post-fire hillslope treatment. In contrast, dry mulch treatments (agricultural straw, wood strands, wood shreds, etc.) have quickly gained acceptance as effective, though somewhat expensive, post-fire hillslope stabilization treatments and are frequently recommended when values-at-risk warrant protection. This change has been motivated by research that shows the proportion of exposed mineral soil (or conversely, the propor- tion of ground cover) to be the primary treatment factor controlling post-fire hillslope erosion. Erosion barrier treatments provide little ground cover and have been shown to be less effective than mulch, especially during short-duration, high intensity rainfall events. In addition, innovative options for producing and applying mulch materials have adapted these materials for use on large burned areas that are inaccessible by road.

On Oct. 12 at about 8 p.m., deputies from the Hesperia Police Department, along with San Bernardino County Fire Department, responded to the area of Main Street and Mariposa Road in reference to a traffic collision. Deputies found Marcellino Cabrera III, 46, of Hesperia unresponsive inside his 1994 Honda Accord on Main Street. A 2002 BMW 325i was found on top of a down palm tree in the In-N-Out parking lot. The driver of the BMW, Ramses Gonzalez, 26, was assisted out of his vehicle and airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center due to his injuries. Through investigation, deputies determined that Gonzalez was driving his BMW westbound on Main approaching the intersection with Mariposa when it collided into the Honda traveling northbound on Mariposa and through the intersection.
