FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § the Warm Fire Started from a Lightning
FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § The Warm fire started from a lightning strike on June 8, 2006 a few miles south of Jacob Lake, between Highway 67 and Warm Springs (which gave the fire its name) and could easily have been extinguished with a canteen and a shovel. The North Kaibab instead declared it a Wildland Fire Use fire, and was delighted. Previous efforts with WFUs had occurred during the summer storm season and had yielded small, low-intensity burns that “did not produce desired effects.” The district had committed to boosting its burned acres and had engineered personnel transfers to make that happen. Since large fires historically occurred in the run-up to the summer monsoon season, when conditions were maximally hot, dry, and windy, the Warm fire promised to rack up the desired acres.1 For three days the fire behaved as hoped. On June 11 the district decided to request a Fire Use Management Team to help run the fire, which was now over a hundred acres and blowing smoke across the sole road to the North Rim, and so required ferrying vehicles under convoy. On June 13 the FUMT assumed command of the fire. Briefings included a warning that the fire could not be allowed to enter a region to the southeast which was a critical habitat for the Mexican spotted owl. The “maximum management area” allotted for the fire was 4,000 acres. That day the fire spotted across the highway, outside the prescribed zone. The FUMT and district ranger decided to seize the opportunity to allow the fire to grow and get some “bonus acres.” The prescribed zone was increased; then increased again as the fire, now almost 7,000 acres, crossed Forest Road 225, another prescribed border. -
NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management
A publication of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management PMS 902 April 2021 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management April 2021 PMS 902 The NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, assists participating agencies of the NWCG to constructively work together to provide effective execution of each agency’s incident business management program by establishing procedures for: • Uniform application of regulations on the use of human resources, including classification, payroll, commissary, injury compensation, and travel. • Acquisition of necessary equipment and supplies from appropriate sources in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. • Management and tracking of government property. • Financial coordination with the jurisdictional agency and maintenance of finance, property, procurement, and personnel records, and forms. • Use and coordination of incident business management functions as they relate to sharing of resources among federal, state, and local agencies, including the military. • Documentation and reporting of claims. • Documentation of costs and cost management practices. • Administrative processes for all-hazards incidents. Uniform application of interagency incident business management standards is critical to successful interagency fire operations. These standards must be kept current and made available to incident and agency personnel. Changes to these standards may be proposed by any agency for a variety of reasons: new law or regulation, legal interpretation or opinion, clarification of meaning, etc. If the proposed change is relevant to the other agencies, the proponent agency should first obtain national headquarters’ review and concurrence before forwarding to the NWCG Incident Business Committee (IBC). IBC will prepare draft NWCG amendments for all agencies to review before finalizing and distributing. -

Response by Two Endangered Pine Rockland Plants to Mechanical Vegetation Thinning Treatment in the Lower Florida Keys
RESPONSE BY TWO ENDANGERED PINE ROCKLAND PLANTS TO MECHANICAL VEGETATION THINNING TREATMENT IN THE LOWER FLORIDA KEYS Kate Guerena Watts, Wildlife Biologist Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuges Complex 28950 Watson Boulevard, Big Pine Key, FL 33043, USA INTRODUCTION Pine rocklands are a globally endangered ecosystem found only in the Lower Florida Keys, Everglades National Park, and in scattered parcels in Miami-Dade County. They are limited to less than 3 percent of their original extent due to conversion to other land uses, significant ecological degradation and destruction (Noss et al. 1995). Pine rocklands consist of an open canopy of slash pines with patchy understory and groundcover layers. The south Florida slash pine (Pinus ellioti var. densa) and palms (Coccothrinax argentata, Thrinax morrisii, Thrinax radiata, and Serenoa repens) are fire-adapted and dependent on periodic fires for their long-term persistence (Snyder et al. 1990). Sub-canopy layers include a diverse assemblage of tropical and temperate shrubs, palms, grasses, and herbs (Folk 1991). Pine rocklands occur at an elevation of 3 to 8 feet above mean sea level and are usually underlain by a freshwater lens. Pine rocklands found on Big Pine Key have the highest plant diversity of all plant communities in the Florida Keys. Over 240 species of plants have been identified in the pine rocklands of South Florida and the Lower Keys. This community contains 14 herbs endemic to South Florida, 5 of which occur only in the Lower Keys (Avery and Loope 1980). Common plants associated with pine rocklands include long-stalked stopper, blackbead, Keys thatch palm, silver palm, and locustberry. -
