  • A Look at Wildland Fire in North America in the 21St Century (Formatted for Southern Rockies Fire Science Network Publication)
    FIRE THEN AND NOW: A Look at Wildland Fire in North America in the 21st Century (Formatted for Southern Rockies Fire Science Network Publication) Bryn D. Marahab and J. Derek Scastaa a Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82072 b Rangeland Management Specialist, USDA Forest Service Fire Then and Now: A Look at Wildland Fire in North America in the 21st Century SRFSN Publication 2019-1 July 2019 Abstract Wildland fire is a global phenomenon that influences ecosystems, cultures, and livelihoods. Humans are only one driver of fire behavior and occurrence, as fires function across dynamic fuel and weather scenarios, yet the human controls of fire are strong and can function through positive or negative feedbacks and direct or indirect forces. For example, humans can influence fire positively and indirectly via fire suppression policies that lead to fuel accumulation and an escalation in future fire behavior, or negatively and directly through fuel manipulation that reduces fuel accumulation and de-escalates fire behavior. Broad anthropogenic changes such as urbanization, development in rural areas, and climatic changes also influence fire. Fire management shapes the ecology of many systems. Human history has largely influenced fire use, and has subsequently induced changes in ecology and human livelihood. Federal expenditure for fire suppression is increasing dramatically and in 2018 exceeded 3 billion USD. Concomitantly, the number of acres burned annually in North America has increased from the years 1985-2018, illustrating our changing relationship with and management of fire. History of Fire in North America Wildland fire is a dynamic disturbance that sparks of fire are also evident in Africa (Trollope 1973) and considerable interest, especially in North America, Australia (Bowman et al.

  • Significant Growth for Beaver Creek Fire, Now at 3,800 Acres
    Media Contact: Aaron Voos, (970) 819-2898 Fire Information: (970) 723-2700 Significant Growth for Beaver Creek Fire, now at 3,800 acres (WALDEN, Colo.) June 21, 2016 – A wind shift on Tuesday afternoon drove the Beaver Creek Fire to the east, jumping over two main roads and establishing spot fires on BLM-managed Independence Mountain. The majority of the 3,800-acre fire remains on the Routt National Forest in northwest Jackson County, Colo. Fire staff were working late Tuesday with Jackson County and the BLM to evacuate dispersed campers on Independence Mountain. Due to the ever-growing complexity of the fire a management transition will take place Wednesday to a Type II Incident Command Team. Staffing levels are now at 120 fire personnel. Air resources working the fire include two Type I helicopters, a Type II helicopter, a Type III helicopter, and an air attack plane. One tanker drop of retardant took place Tuesday evening and additional resources are on order. There have been no accidents or injuries during the incident. Forecasted temperature for Wednesday is 78, with light winds from the west, and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. The fire is burning primarily in heavy timber with a high percentage of beetle kill, and spread Tuesday as a crown fire. The fire is located approximately 15 miles northwest of Walden, Colo. and two miles south of the Colorado/Wyoming state line. A wind shift late Tuesday afternoon changed the direction of the fire growth from northeast to east/southeast, sending a running crown fire to the east, across Forest Road 600 and across County Road 6W.

The Little Beaver and Big Beaver drainage is part of the North Camas Unit referred to in the Sun Valley MFP. Federal actions must be analyzed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other relevant Federal and State laws and regulations to determine potential environmental consequences and regulatory compliance. The purpose of this package is to provide information to interested and affected parties of this proposal, and to solicit comments to assist the BLM with the NEPA analysis of the proposal and development of the alternatives to the proposed action. The development of this proposal is currently ongoing, and will eventually be documented in an Environmental Assessment (EA) with an estimated completion date of summer/fall of 2016. Comments received in response to this solicitation will be used to identify potential environmental issues related to the proposed action and to identify alternatives to the proposed action that meet the purpose of and need for the project. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION The purpose of this action is to bring the Little Beaver and Big Beaver drainages into compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA).
