Lionshead Fire update for Thursday, Oct. 8   REDMOND, Ore. – Aviation support is helping cool and slow the progression of hotspots around Mt. Bruno and a spot fire on the finger to the north while firefighters carry on with the many details of repair and rehabilitation.   Before an incident management team embarks on the repair and rehabilitation phase of a fire, the agencies affected provide written standards for the level of work to be performed. While many standards are universal, others set guidelines for specific values.   For the Willamette and Mt. Hood National Forests, there are added standards for visual mitigation along the West Cascades Scenic Byway, including minimizing stump height, following natural contours where feasible, leaving 3 to 5 down trees per acre, leaving clumps of small diameter trees where they do not pose a hazard to the roadway. These same standards apply to the Olallie Lake viewshed on the MHNF.   Today, the structure group will be removing...

Springfield, Ore.  With containment objectives nearly complete and a weather pattern change approaching, the incident management team in charge of the fire will be reorganizing the number and type of resources necessary to work into the future.  Staffing of the fire will continue, however, many of the crews, engines, aircraft, and other resources are preparing for their release over the next two or three days.  Some of these resources will be headed home for well-deserved days off, while others will be transferred to other fires around the nation.  Members of the community can expect to see a smaller fire camp footprint as resources are released and the support requirements become less.  In the next several days, many of the pieces of fire camp will also be released.  This includes many of the amenities that have been using the Bob Artz Memorial Park, and other Springfield School District facilities including the Thurston Middle School and Thurston High School.    ...

Soil Burn Severity Data Released   PORTLAND, OR, October 7, 2020 – Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) specialists from the U.S. Forest Service have finalized the Soil Burn Severity map for the following fires: White River, Riverside, Holiday Farm, and Thielsen. Soil burn severity is classified into 4 levels: unburned, low, moderate and high.   BAER soil scientists used the burned area reflectance classification satellite image product to prioritize places in the field to assess soil burn severity. These individuals sampled accessible sites to evaluate soil changes caused by the fire. In particular, they collected information on ground cover, ash color, soil depth and structure, intact roots, and water repellency in order to build a picture of soil burn severity.   The analysis showed the following distribution of severity by acres:   White River Unburned: 2,687 (15%) | Low: 11,265 (63%) | Moderate: 3,391 (19%) | High: 430 (2%)   Riverside Unburned: 18,192 (13%) | Low:...
