FIRE
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
SUNDAY, MAY 14, 2000 - 0800 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL III
CURRENT SITUATION:
No new large fires were reported nationwide, and initial attack activity was
minimal. The National Interagency Coordination Center processed orders for
airtankers, infrared aircraft, radio equipment, engines, a commissary unit,
meteorological equipment, crews, and miscellaneous overhead. Very high to
extreme fire indices were reported in New Mexico, Arizona, California,
Texas, Oklahoma, and Indiana.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
CERRO GRANDE, Bandelier National Monument. An Area Command Team (Meuchel)
and two Type I Incident Management Teams (Humphrey and Bateman) are
assigned. The fire is burning near Los Alamos, NM. Structures lost include
191 residences, ten commercial buildings, and 12 outbuildings. In the south
zone, crews and dozers are working the southeast portion of the fire to
prevent spread into the community of White Rock. In the north zone, the fire
spotted across Santa Clara canyon and began to make a significant run to the
north. By mid-afternoon, fire activity diminished due to thick smoke shading
the fuels.
SCOTT ABLE, Lincoln National Forest. The fire is located 20 miles south of
Cloudcroft, NM. A Type I Incident Management Team (Studebaker) is assigned.
Unburned islands within the fire perimeter are still active, and the
potential for fire spread remains. Preliminary assessment indicates that
approximately 20 residences, 16 outbuildings, and six vehicles have been
destroyed.
OUTLET, Grand Canyon National Park. A Type I Incident Management Team (Fry)
is assigned. The fire is burning in mixed conifer two miles north of North
Rim Village. Increased fire activity resulted in an active air operation of
multiple retardant drops. Current threats include administrative and
historic structures at the National Park Service North Rim Administrative
Site.
CREE, Lincoln National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team (Hart) is
assigned. The fire is burning in pinyon-juniper forest near Ruidoso, NM.
Moderating conditions are allowing significant progress to be made on
fireline construction. Mop up and rehabilitation efforts are underway.
MANUELITAS, Las Vegas District, New Mexico State Forestry. The fire is
burning in ponderosa pine forest, 14 miles north of Las Vegas, NM. The
evacuation order for all areas and the closure of Highway 94 have been
lifted. Some fire spread occurred. Crews conducted a burnout operation to
secure the firelines.
COON CREEK, Tonto National Forest. The fire is 20 miles north of Globe, AZ
in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness. Crews continued to patrol and mop-up. No
significant fire activity occurred.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
COOK RANCH, Texas State Forest Service. The fire is located 36 miles south
of Ft. Stockton, TX. Crews are making progress constructing fireline in
rugged terrain. Burnout operations are continuing.
LONG BAY, National Forests of Florida. This fire is in the Apalachicola
National Forest, 40 miles southwest of Tallahassee, FL. Good progress was
made on the fire despite increased winds. Containment is expected today.
EASTERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
TUSKIE RIDGE, Pennsylvania State Forestry. This fire is 15 miles southeast
