No activity or emergency is so critical that safety rules should be overlooked and if a task cannot be completed safely it should not be attempted. You will be expected to know, apply, and practice safety throughout your assignment here. Risk Management All fire suppression resources are expected to follow the Risk Management Process as outlined in your Incident Response Pocket Guide. This includes ensuring that LCES is in place prior to any tactical engagement during suppression operations, continual evaluation of the 10 Standard Fire Orders and 18 Watchout Situations, and following established guides such as the Downhill Line Construction Checklist and Common Denominators of Fire Behavior on Tragedy Fires. Situational Awareness Escape routes and safety zones must be continually evaluated and monitored during suppression operations as fire behavior dictates changing situations. Nevada has an exceptionally dry climate and an abundance of flashy fuels. This combination frequently produces extreme fire behavior. Complacency and not maintaining situational awareness during rapidly escalating fires have caught experienced resources off guard and led to “near miss” and entrapment situations throughout the Great Basin. PPE The proper use of PPE must be stressed to all resources. Line supervisors are expected to continually monitor their crews for the proper usage of PPE to limit exposure to personnel. Crews and resources must utilize PPE correctly while assigned to fires; failures in this realm are unacceptable. Driving Standards The CNIDC Dispatch Area stretches across nearly half of the state of Nevada; be prepared for long road trips across the sparsely populated lands of rural Nevada. Driving is statistically one of the most hazardous duties of our jobs. The following standards have been instituted to assist you in maintaining your situational awareness: 1. Seatbelts will be worn whenever your vehicle is in operation. Chock blocks will be set in place when your vehicle is parked. 2. Headlights and taillights shall remain illuminated at all times the vehicle is in operation. 3. Vehicle operators will not use cell phones or other electronic communication devices (excluding mobile radios) without a hands free device while the vehicle is in operation. 4. Overhead lighting (or other appropriate emergency lights) shall be illuminated whenever visibility is reduced to less than 300 feet, when involved in Wildland Urban Interface operations, or when suppressing fires along roadways. 5. Ground Resources will not respond Code 3 to an incident unless prior approval has been given by the duty officer and FMO. Generally these incidents will be limited to severe emergencies or severe threat to life and property. 6. Light bars, flashing lights, strobe lights, and other lighting equipment designed for emergency use, shall only be used for designated purposes during suppression operations and emergencies. Specific approval and training must be provided for these special uses. 2 OVERVIEW OF CNIDC DISPATCH AREA 1) Area Area Acres by Jurisdiction Total Acres Encompassed Battle Mountain District 10,585,829 BLM Acres 13,119,310 Acres Winnemucca District 8,276,113 BLM Acres 11,099,758 Acres Santa Rosa Ranger District 284,395 USFS Acres (included in Winnemucca District Totals) Austin – Tonopah Ranger (included in Battle Mountain District 2,133,481 USFS Acres* District Totals) 24,219,068 Acres Dispatch Area Totals 19,746,093 Total Acres (just over 34% of the state of Nevada) *Within the Dispatch Area but fire management is responsibility of the Humboldt-Toiyabe NF. • 513,441 Private acres are contained within the Zone with primary fire protection duties upon local county or fire protection districts. • 3,159,038 acres managed by other agencies – BOR, DOD, DOE, FWS, and the State of Nevada. 2) Historical Fire Statistics Fire and Acre Averages – 2019, 5 Year and 10 Year 2019 Stats 5 Year Average 10 Year Average Fires 21 27 23 Battle Mountain District Acres 2,515 2,355 8,201 Fires 67 52 52 Winnemucca District Acres 17,812 95,583 88,203 Fires 0 2 2 Santa Rosa Ranger District Acres 0 1,407 1,744 Austin – Tonopah Ranger Fires 5 6 6 District Acres 737 576 700 Fires 11 2 3 Western Nevada Agency-BIA Acres 52 66.05 43 Fires 1 0 0 Nevada Division of Forestry- Acres .10 3 11 State Fires 32 31 27 WID Private Acres 4,695 22,657 20,329 Fires 16 5 5 BMD Private Acres 423 577 616 Fires 153 121 117 CNIDC Totals Acres 26,236 123,225 119,848 3 3) Topography Elevations of major landforms in this geographic area are from about 2,500 to over 11,000 feet above sea level. 4) Cultural and Historical Concerns In the BLM, cultural resource programs are set up to discover and preserve these sites and artifacts for scientific, cultural educational and religious use. It is our responsibility as employees of the Federal government to help in the identification and protection of the artifacts and sites. If you have any questions as to what is cultural, historical or a sensitive area ask or request a Resource Advisor. 5) Political and Local Concerns What may seem to be just sage, grass, juniper or barren land is someone’s rangeland, mining operation, recreation area, hunting area or back yard. Be professional and courteous to all parties at all times. Remember, you are representing yourself, your unit, and District within CNIDC Dispatch Area Fire Programs to the public. 6) Weather This area experiences a continental climatic influence and is regularly subject to extended durations of hot, dry, windy weather with frequent thunderstorm activity throughout the summer. With summer thunderstorms comes high lightning activity. Crews must ensure daily weather forecasts are used and that on-going weather monitoring is done. a) Fire Weather Zones: I.

Austin – Tonopah Ranger District i. 426 ii. 427 4 7) Fire Behavior Nevada has a history of extreme and advanced fire behavior that is only increasing with the cheatgrass invasion. Fine dead fuel moistures are consistently near 5% during the summer months, and live fuel moistures are typically below 100% by July. Please be aware that the dry fuels, high temperatures, and low relative humidity produce fire behavior that many are not accustomed to. It is important to recognize that our range fires can travel at great speeds, especially under windy conditions. Other concerns that have been documented in Safety Warnings and Advisories include: a) Anticipated rapid runs in dry live fuels such as pinyon and juniper, especially with windy conditions. With low live fuel moistures, do not assume “green” fuels will not burn. b) Anticipate easy ignition and rapid spread in flashy fine fuels. You cannot outrun it! c) Watch for moderate to long range spotting from intense surface fires, torching trees or areas of active crown fires. d) Anticipate fire whirls in hot, unstable conditions which can rapidly escalate fire behavior, jeopardize control lines and quickly increase fire growth rates. e) Anticipate fires to exhibit extreme spread rates, elongated flaming fronts and an increase in fire brands. Medium to long range spotting is possible in these fuel types.

  • The BLM NEVADA NATIONAL LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION SYSTEM Strategy
    BLM The BLM NEVADA NATIONAL LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION SYSTEM Strategy i On March 30, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which states: “In order to conserve, protect, and restore nationally signifi cant landscapes that have outstanding cultural, ecological, and scientifi c values for the benefi t of current and future generations, there is established in the Bureau of Land Management the National Landscape Conservation System.” [Sec. 2002 (a)] “The Secretary shall manage the system in accordance with any applicable law (including regulations) relating to any component of the system…and in a manner that protects the values for which the components of the system were designated.” [Sec. 2002 (c)] High Rock, Black Rock National Conservation Area Photo by Brian Beffort Dear Friends of the BLM Nevada, I am pleased to share this new plan, our strategy for managing Nevada’s National Landscape Conservation System lands. These lands represent some of the most scenic, culturally rich, and scientifi cally important of all public lands in the State. BLM Nevada manages three national conservation areas: Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon, Red Rock Canyon and Sloan Canyon; 45 wilderness areas; 63 wilderness study areas and three national historic trails. We are committed to responsibly managing these lands and this strategy document is an important step towards achieving BLM Nevada’s goal of conserving these areas. We would like to thank all of the partners and BLM employees who help us manage these special conservation lands and have contributed to this document. We are also grateful to the many photographers who assisted us with artwork.

It is spread before us like the pages of an open book in which we can read why the land is what it is and why we should preserve its integrity. But the pages lie unread. Rachel Carson ● Silent Spring (1962) Despite its size, the Sagebrush Sea (scientifically known as “sagebrush steppe”) is one of the most endangered landscapes in North America. The Sagebrush Sea has been reduced in area by as much as 50 percent since European settlement. Livestock grazing, natural gas and oil development, agricultural conversion, roads, fences, powerlines and pipelines, off-road vehicle use, urban sprawl, mining, unnatural fire, and invasive weeds are fragmenting or degrading much of what remains. Greater sage-grouse are a sagebrush obligate species whose range has been significantly reduced with the loss of sagebrush steppe.

  • Decision Record DOI-BLM-NV-W030-2013-0006-DNA NDOW Survey and Capture of Bighorn Sheep Within Black Rock-High Rock Area Wildernesses and Wilderness Study Areas
    Decision Record DOI-BLM-NV-W030-2013-0006-DNA NDOW Survey and Capture of Bighorn Sheep within Black Rock-High Rock Area Wildernesses and Wilderness Study Areas INTRODUCTION The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) requested to survey and capture California bighorn sheep within Black Rock-High Rock Area Wildernesses and Wilderness Study Areas. The California bighorn sheep herd inhabiting NDOW hunt unit 012 occupies an expansive amount of habitat in the Calico Mountains, Little High Rock Canyon, High Rock Canyon, Pole Canyon, Chukar Gulch, Warm Springs Canyon, Trough Mountain, Mahogany Mountain, and Yellow Rock Canyon. Highest densities and concentrations of bighorns are located within wilderness boundaries near Little High Rock Canyon, High Rock Canyon, and in the Calico Mountains. These locations will be the areas of primary focus for the capture. According to NDOW, the removal of 20-35 sheep will not impact the herd and may help increase productivity in those where the highest densities of sheep are found. Based on recent recruitment rates, it is estimated that it will take one to two years for the herd to replace the animals removed. The removal of 20-35 animals represents a 10-15 percent reduction in the population. Similarly to hunt unit 012, hunt units 032 and 034 may have similar activities occur within the Pahute Peak Wilderness, North Black Rock Range Wilderness, Lahontan Cutthroat Trout ISA, and Blue Lakes WSA. According to NDOW, sheep will be captured in high density areas because there is a need for sheep to be released within low density areas. This action includes aerial surveying, the capture of bighorn sheep in the aforementioned areas, and the addition of two locations that were not previously considered in existing NEPA documents; the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout ISA and Blue Lakes WSA.
