  • Humboldt County Fire Services
    Humboldt County Fire Services FIRE CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY Annual Report 2011 To: Humboldt County Board of Supervisors An overview of the Humboldt County Fire Service of 2011 The Fire Service in Humboldt County continues to grow in a positive direction, constantly working towards the goal of promoting county‐wide adoption of procedures and policies through the Fire Chief’s Association with input and regulation from the various groups with‐in such as the Training Instructors, Fire Prevention Officers and the Fire/Arson Investigation Unit. This positive and forward direction is an indication of the great working relationships that have developed among the various departments over the years, and that continues to improve, a feat that is not easy in such a rural setting. These relationships have allowed the fire agencies to foster a team approach both from an operational and an administrative stand point. The effort of forming fire districts for some of the volunteer fire companies with‐in the county, along with the modification of district boundaries in an attempt to provide a better system of protection for many of the Counties’ residents, continues with the help of the Fire Safe Council and County Planning with the support of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. The Fire Chief’s Association would like to acknowledge their appreciation of that consideration and support from the Board. At the same time the Chief’s Association recognizes that the future of the fire service in Humboldt County is dependent upon the Board’s continued support. With fees now being levied by the State in the way of “Fire Prevention Fees” to the residents residing in State Responsibility Areas, there is major concern that funding for many of the rural departments will suffer which makes support by the Board of Supervisors a critical factor in their very survival.

  • FMT 69(2) Alexander and Taylor 1 to Be Published in W Inter 2010 Issue
    To be published in W inter 2010 issue of Fire M anagement Today, Vol. 70, No. 1 W ildland Fire Behavior Case Studies and the 1938 Honey Fire Controversy Martin E. Alexander and Stephen W . Taylor Dr. Marty Alexander is a senior fire behavior research officer with the Canadian Forest Service, Northern Forestry Centre, and an adjunct professor of wildland fire science and management in the Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada. Steve Taylor is a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service, Pacific Forestry Centre, Victoria, BC, Canada. Over the past 90 years, fire research has contributed to our understanding of wildland fire behavior through laboratory and field experiments, physical and empirical modeling, numerical simulations, analyses of individual fire reports, and wildfire case studies. Although basic research on combustion is essential to a full understanding of fire behavior, such research would not be very useful without actual field experience gained through case study documentation (Brown 1959). In general terms, what is a case study? Wikipedia (<http://www.wikipedia.org/>) proposes that case studies —provide a systematic way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results.“ W ith the renewed interest in carrying out research on active wildfires (e.g., Lentile and others 2007a), it‘s worth reexamining what makes for a good case study. To this end, this article summarizes the findings from the case study of the controversial Honey Fire of 1938, originally published in Fire Control Notes by Olsen (1941)–one of the first comprehensive case studies of a wildland fire undertaken by fire behavior researchers.

  • Scott Mclean: from the CAL FIRE Information Center, I'm Scott Mclean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, August 26, 2019. La
    Scott McLean: From the CAL FIRE Information Center, I’m Scott McLean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, August 26, 2019. Last week, amid yet another week of triple digit temperatures, California firefighters saw a steady flow of new wildfires. In total, 202 new fires started statewide, across all jurisdictions. Of those 202, 164 were within CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction. Switching over to our Statewide Fire Map, you can see that there are currently 4 active wildfires with most of those in Northern California. Let’s take a closer look at a few of those active fires, starting with the Mountain Fire in Shasta County. The Mountain Fire started on Thursday, August 22 north of Bella Vista. Within just a few hours, it grew to 600 acres and led to the evacuation of several surrounding communities. However, thanks to the aggressive initial attack by firefighters, the Mountain Fire was kept from growing further, and residents were able to return home relatively quickly. The Mountain Fire currently remains at 600 acres, and is 95% contained. Next up, another fire started yesterday along the California-Mexico border. This one is known as the Border 10 Fire and is burning along the area east of the Otay port of entry, about half a mile south of the border. The Border 10 fire did cross over into the US, but firefighters were able to quickly stop its spread at 20 acres. The Border 10 fire is currently 75% contained. And lastly, we have the Long Valley Fire which started over the weekend off Highway 395 north of the Hallelujah Junction.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.

  • 2015 Wildfire Season: an Overview, Southwestern U.S. Ecological Restoration Institute and Southwest Fire Science Consortium, Northern Arizona University
    2015 Wildfire Season: An Overview Southwestern U.S. MAY 2016 Intermountain West Frequent-fire Forest Restoration Ecological restoration is a practice that seeks to heal degraded ecosystems by reestablishing native species, structural characteristics, and ecological processes. The Society for Ecological Restoration International defines ecological restoration as “an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability….Restoration attempts to return an ecosystem to its historic trajectory” (Society for Ecological Restoration International Science & Policy Working Group 2004). Most frequent-fire forests throughout the Intermountain West have been degraded during the last 150 years. Many of these forests are now dominated by unnaturally dense thickets of small trees, and lack their once diverse understory of grasses, sedges, and forbs. Forests in this condition are highly susceptible to damaging, stand-replacing fires and increased insect and disease epidemics. Restoration of these forests centers on reintroducing frequent, low-severity surface fires—often after thinning dense stands—and reestablishing productive understory plant communities. The Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University is a pioneer in researching, implementing, and monitoring ecological restoration of frequent-fire forests of the Intermountain West. By allowing natural processes, such as low-severity fire, to resume self-sustaining patterns, we hope to reestablish healthy forests that provide ecosystem services, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is a way for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science. SWFSC’s goal is to see the best available science used to make management decisions and scientists working on the questions managers need answered.
