  • Fall 2016 1 Chief’S Message
    Report to the Community Fall 2016 1 Chief’s Message As Fire Chief of the Albany Fire Department, it is my honor to present the Albany Fire Department’s Report to the Community. In our response to emergencies and our provision of health, safety and emergency services to the community, the department continues to exemplify the excellence and professionalism Albany has come to expect. Although you probably know us as the “fire department,” this by no means reflects the many ways our department serves the community every day. The Albany Fire Department not only responds to fires, but also provides the necessary training to respond to a multitude of emergencies. We also provide emergency medical services including transport, hazardous material response, and technical rescues for vehicle accidents and water rescue. Thanks in great part to the success of our Fire Prevention program, emergency medical calls now account for a majority of our workload. As we move forward into 2017 and beyond, we continue to emphasize training and best practices in everything we do to keep Albany safe. I would like to thank the Mayor, the City Council and the City Manager Mission for their support throughout some tough years, and for their support and vision for AFD’s continued growth and change. The Albany Fire Department enhances the quality of life and the environment by providing fire prevention and suppression, The future of the Albany Fire Department looks tremendous. It is my emergency medical services, public education and emergency honor to be a part of this department and its long, rich history and preparedness.

  • Damage and Mortality Assessment of Redwood and Mixed Conifer Forest Types in Santa Cruz County Following Wildfire
    Damage and Mortality Assessment of Redwood and Mixed Conifer Forest Types in Santa Cruz County Following Wildfire Steve R. Auten1 and Nadia Hamey1 Abstract On August 12, 2009, the Lockheed Fire ignited the west slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains burning approximately 7,819 acres. A mixture of vegetation types were in the path of the fire, including approximately 2,420 acres of redwood forest and 1,951 acres of mixed conifer forest types representative of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Foresters and land managers were left with tough decisions on how to treat tree damage and mortality compounded by the Pine Mountain Fire which occurred in the same area in 1948. Big Creek Lumber Company (BCL), Cal Poly’s Swanton Pacific Ranch (SPR) and other professionals familiar with this region of redwood teamed up to develop a method for evaluating damage and mortality. Qualitative criteria for evaluating stand damage focused on historic defect, cambial death, root damage, and associated fire intensity. Quantitative damage criteria was used to contrive three mortality assessment tables, broken up by diameter class (1 through 8, 9 through 16, 17+), for all tree species and tested against 83, 1/5th acre fixed plots from SPR’s Continuous Forest Inventory. Since the initial mortality evaluation using the new tables in fall of 2009, each of the 2877 trees have been re-evaluated in spring 2010 and spring 2011. Accuracy against the initial evaluation is 89.3 percent. Key words: damage, hardwood, mortality, redwood Introduction What should be harvested to encourage regeneration of selectively-managed forestland in the Southern Subdistrict of the Coast Forest District following wildfire? What determines tree mortality for the purpose of amending the sustainability analysis (SA) of a Non-industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP) following wildfire? Charged with managing and maintaining the health and vigor of the forest ecosystem, foresters and land managers need an accurate way of field-evaluating damage and mortality in conifers and hardwoods immediately following wildfire.

Abatzoglou, John John Abatzoglou, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of Idaho. Research interests span the weather-climate continuum and both basic and applied scientific questions on past, present and future climate dynamics as well as their influence on wildfire, ecology and agriculture and is a key player in the development of integrated climate scenarios for the Pacific Northwest, US. Oral presentation, Wednesday, 2:30 PM, B114 Will climate change increase the occurrence of megafires in the western United States? The largest wildfires in the western United States account for a substantial portion of annual area burned and are associated with numerous direct and indirect geophysical impacts in addition to commandeering suppression resources and national attention. While substantial prior work has been devoted to understand the influence of climate, and weather on annual area burned, there has been limited effort to identify factors that enable and drive the very largest wildfires, or megafires. We hypothesize that antecedent climate and shorter-term biophysically relevant meteorological variables play an essen- tial role in favoring or deterring historical megafire occurrence identified using the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Atlas from 1984-2010. Antecedent climatic factors such as drought and winter and spring temperature were found to vary markedly across geographic areas, whereas regional commonality of prolonged extremely low fuel moisture and high fire danger prior to and immediately following megafire discovery.

    POST-FIRE MORTALITY AND RESPONSE IN A REDWOOD/ DOUGLAS-FIR FOREST, SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Forestry Sciences by Garren McKendree Andrews December 2012 i © 2012 Garren McKendree Andrews ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: POST-FIRE MORTALITY AND RESPONSE IN A REDWOOD/ DOUGLAS-FIR FOREST, SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA AUTHOR: Garren M. Andrews DATE SUBMITTED: December 2012 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Christopher A. Dicus, Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Brian Dietterick, Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Mark Horney, Professor iii Abstract Post-fire Mortality and Response in a redwood/ Douglas-fir forest, Santa Cruz Mountains, California Garren Andrews We investigated how fire severity impacts the survival and response (sprouting/seeding) of multiple species in the Santa Cruz Mountains of coastal California, including coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens ), Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ), tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus ), and Pacific madrone( Arbutus menziesii ). During August 2009 the Lockheed Fire burned nearly 3,160ha of mixed-conifer stands with variable severity. Data from 37 Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) plots were collected immediately before and for 2 successive years following the 2009 Lockheed Fire. This research entails three objectives. First, we quantified post-fire mortality of trees that vary in species, size, and fire severity. Second, data was quantified for post-fire response (sprouting, seeding) of those three tree species in areas of varying fire severity. Third, we developed logistic regression models that predict post-fire mortality and response for each of the three species.
