Stanislaus National Forest - New Fire Restrictions Posted: 09 Jun 2007 02:02 AM CDT New Fire Restrictions Will Take Effect Monday In Stanislaus National Forest Friday, June 08, 2007 - 03:10 PM BJ Hansen MML News Reporter Sonora, Ca -- The Forest Service announces that effective Monday, because of high fire danger, a Forest Order enacting temporary fire restrictions will go into effect in High Hazard Areas of the Stanislaus National Forest. The fire restrictions prohibit campfires, briquette barbecues, and smoking outside developed campgrounds in designated High Hazard Areas of the Forest. Welding and blasting also are prohibited, except by special permit. Forest Supervisor Tom Quinn noted, �Hot, dry weather and tinder-dry conditions continue to persist in high hazard areas of the Forest. This Forest Order serves as an extra measure to help reduce the potential for large and damaging wildfires. We are asking the public's cooperation in helping us prevent destructive fires before they start.� The rules are as follows: Campfires - Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, (including briquette type barbecue), or stove fire is prohibited, except within developed recreation sites. Persons with a valid California Campfire Permit may use a portable stove or lantern that uses gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel. Smoking - Smoking is prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. Operating Internal Combustion Engines: Operation of internal combustion engines, including chainsaws, except on Forest developed roads, designated trails, and managed off-highway vehicle Welding - Operating acetylene or other torch with an open flame is prohibited, except by permit. Use of Explosives - Using an explosive is prohibited, except by permit. Violations of these prohibitions is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than six months. These temporary fire restrictions will remain in effect until the end of the 2007 fire season, or otherwise terminated. CAL FIRE NEWS FROM http://calfire.blogspot.com/

Conditions Perfect For Test Blaze, But Researcher Not Sure What Went Wrong Posted: 09 Jun 2007 01:49 AM CDT Conditions Perfect For Test Blaze, But Researcher Not Sure What Went Wrong May 15, 2007 Ontario - Conditions couldn't have been more perfect in northeastern Ontario for a forest fire - and that's exactly how Tim Lynham wanted it. Lynham, a forest fire research officer with the Canadian Forest Service, waited more than a year for the perfect weather to set a test blaze in the hopes of better understanding forest fires. He and his colleagues even had a 100-page plan detailing how the prescribed burn would take place. "Last year we were going to try it, but the weather conditions were too extreme and then they were too wet, so last year was not an option," Lynham said. On Sunday, with all their instruments in place, the temperature nearing 20 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity at 22 per cent and the wind at a perfect 9.5 km an hour, the fire was set. A few hours later, the researcher's perfect day turned into a nightmare. The fire, which was supposed to stay at two hectares in size, began spotting. "That's when embers are carried up by the fire and deposited in front of the fire starting new fires," Lynham explained. "And that was the problem we ran into, there were too many little fires." By late Monday night, the fire, located 100 kilometres northeast of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., had grown to 1,500 hectares. "The disappointment is we had a plan, we stuck to the plan, we had the best people. We thought we had the right conditions and it was going to be OK," said Lynham. "We knew there was a risk factor, but we thought it was very, very small. Then something happened that we couldn't predict." It's the first time a research fire has spread in the 25 years that such burns have been set, said Barry Radford, a spokesperson with Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources. What the fire shares in common with others is the amount of manpower needed to fight it, and the amount of money it will cost. Radford said 16 fire ranger crews of three people each were fighting the fire, known as Sault No. 13. In addition to that, there's an incident management team in place and a values protection unit - teams of people sent out to use sprinkler systems to water down structures in the fire's path. The protection unit's work helped save a store and a complex with a restaurant and store. There are also four helicopters working the blaze. In 2006, a relatively quiet forest fire season in Ontario, government figures show that fire suppression efforts cost $141.5 million. Officials were optimistic about being able to bring the blaze under control after rain fell in the region Monday. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the forest fire hazard rating in Sault Ste. Marie was listed as medium. The accident won't stop researchers from setting fires again. "We're trying to do this so we can make better predictive models so that when these things happen naturally, we have better information for the people who need to fight them," Lynham said. "We got lots of good information from this fire... immensely useful... information that we normally wouldn't get off a wildfire because we had instruments, we had video cameras all over the place."

Cal Fire suspends burn permits Posted: 08 Jun 2007 11:32 AM CDT All burn permits within the Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit of Cal Fire are being suspended as of 8 a.m. Monday because of unseasonably dry conditions and high fire hazard. Cal Fire Unit Chief Brad Harris said in a statement that the suspension rescinds all previously-approved burn permits and that any planned hazard reduction burning must be done before that date. Harris said that after Monday any fires or smoke reported to Cal Fire will be treated as a wildfire with full fire suppression response dispatched to the scene. Burning in violation of the suspension could result in cost of recovery charges for fire suppression. The suspension will be in effect until enough rainfall accumulates in the fall to warrant lifting it, Harris said.

News - Poway crash leads to lawsuit against U.S. government Posted: 08 Jun 2007 01:51 PM CDT Poway crash leads to lawsuit against U.S. government Water Trucks and Water Tenders: Poway Water Tender crash leads to lawsuit against U.S. government By: North County Times SAN DIEGO ---- A Scripps Ranch family has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government in connection with a Labor Day 2005 crash in which a U.S. Forest Service Water Tender on its way to a wildfire collided with a sport-utility vehicle in Poway, allegedly causing a wife and mother to suffer severe brain damage. Filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in San Diego, the lawsuit asks for an unspecified amount of money in damages for Katherine Jones, 47, her husband and her three children. In letters denying legal claims the Jones family had to file before suing, a government attorney expressed "deepest condolences" to the family, but wrote that the government believes it is not liable for any damages resulting from the collision. The lawsuit alleges that on Sept. 5, 2005, a U.S. Forest Service water truck was driving west on Scripps Poway Parkway when it went through a red light at Pomerado Road and crashed into the right side of the Jones family's Honda Pilot, where Katherine Jones was seated. The lawsuit alleges that U.S. government employees were negligent for failing to stop at the red light, safely slow down as the Water Tender approached the intersection or "otherwise ensure the truck could proceed through the red light without endangering other drivers and their passengers." The forest service truck was on its way to help fight a wildfire in Rancho Penasquitos that burned about 150 acres and prompted the evacuation of about 200 homes. An attorney for the Jones children, who also were hurt in the crash, said the forest service still had an obligation to proceed cautiously at a red light.

State of California - Former “California Travel Net” no longer authorized Posted: 06 Jun 2007 10:10 PM CDT State of California The Resources Agency Memorandum Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Subject: 8024.5 Telecommunications – California Travel Net Transition from USFS California Travel Net to CESRS Date: June 4, 2007 The former "California Travel Net" channel is no longer authorized by the federal government to be used by California fire services as of January 01, 2007. The frequencies for the old "California Travel Net" were 168.3250 and 169.1250 MHz. The Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRESCOPE) requested the State provide an emergency communications channel for ground resources enroute to/from their home unit while assigned to an incident to replace the old "California Travel Net". The new channel to be used for resources in travel status is the California Emergency Services Radio System (CESRS – pronounced "See-zurs"). CESRS has a direct simplex configuration (CESRS direct) and a repeater configuration. Both channel configurations are recommended by FIRESCOPE to be loaded into VHF radios belonging to federal, state, and local government resources. CESRS direct (the direct simplex configuration) may be utilized immediately. CESRS is being programmed in place of the old Travel net channel in all CAL-FIRE radio equipment and to be used in direct (Car to Car) mode this year. Kenwood Mobile TK790 – Group 3 Channel (164 CESRS) GPH CMD HT – Group 24 (164 CESRS) CESRS direct 153.7550 MHz. (Receive & Transmit) CESRS repeat 153.7550 MHz. (Mobile Receive) 154.9800 MHz. (Mobile Transmit) The standard CTCSS tones will be used for the repeater operation on transmit only. CESRS repeater operation will become available as equipment upgrades are completed. Until further notice only direct operation is to be used. Use of CESRS (both simplex and repeater) is authorized as follows: Authorized use of CESRS is limited to ground resources enroute to/from an incident outside their home unit. This channel will not be used as a tactical net, nor will it be used for routine administrative traffic. Authorized uses are : Emergency vehicle to dispatch communications. Emergency vehicle-to-vehicle communications. Initial contact, recall and/or reassignment of personnel and equipment. Contact channel during long distance travel by overhead, strike team, etc. The purpose of this channel is limited to ground resources enroute to/from an incident outside their home base and not to be used for routine administrative traffic or as a tactical net. Please note that CESRS is used by several other state agencies (including CCC and DGS Telecom, etc.). The channel should be monitored prior to transmitting and agencies should be courteous to other users. WWW.CA.GOV.

Guests Describe California Hotel Inferno - Firehouse.com News Posted: 06 Jun 2007 04:37 PM CDT Guests Describe California Hotel Inferno - Firehouse.com News: " SAN DIEGO -- Guests staying at a Hilton described to NBC 7/39 the raging fire that woke them in the middle of the night in Sorrento Valley. Firefighters were called to the fire at a construction site in the 11000 block of Vista Sorrento Parkway just before 2 a.m., fire officials said. An unoccupied addition to the Hilton Homewood Suites hotel was engulfed in flames when they arrived. The fire did millions of dollars in damage to the hotel and the addition. Salt Lake City resident Ken Lund, who was staying overnight with his family, photographed the fire as the flames grew. 'I thought it was a nightmare,' said Lund. 'All of a sudden, I felt intense heat in the room,' said Sherry Lund. 'I woke up and our room was glowing orange.... I screamed and woke him up, and we yelled at our kids and ran. You could hear the window popping.' The fire threatened the occupied portion of the hotel and surrounding apartments, so firefighters evacuated between 350 and 400 people, San Diego Fire Department spokesman Maurice Luque said. 'The difficulties initially were just with the evacuation, because there were a number of structures that were being affected by the heat, the fire and the smoke of the fire,' Luque said.
