Persons Involved
Hazard Annex Wildfire Northeast Oregon Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Page P-1 Crews scramble as stray lightning sets off scattering of new fires Published: August 7, 2007 By JAYSON JACOBY Baker City Herald The second batch of lightning bolts in as many days sparked at least eight wildfires in Northeastern Oregon Monday, but the high-voltage squalls also splattered rain on the flames. Those showers, combined with lower temperatures and higher humidities, helped fire crews quickly douse each of the new blazes. Meanwhile an older and much larger fire, which was ignited by lightning in late July in a wilderness area north of Granite, continued to grow Monday, albeit relatively slowly. The biggest of Monday's new blazes, on Mount Emily north of La Grande, burned half an acre. A second fire, near the Minam Canyon overlook on Highway 82 east of Elgin, scorched a quarter-acre; the six other blazes were all smaller than one-tenth of an acre. "We had some pretty heavy precipitation directly under the storm clouds," said Dennis Winkler, assistant fire management officer for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. "We actually had a little bit of good luck." Good timing, too. Forests and rangelands are so dry, Winkler said, that each lightning bolt is more likely than usual to kindle a fire. And a single thunderstorm can spawn dozens, even hundreds, of bolts. "The fuels are ready to burn," Winkler said. Rain, or just a boost in humidity, can impede a fire's spread for several hours, he said — enough time, in many cases, for firefighters to hack control lines around the guttering flames. -
