INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II
CURRENT SITUATION:
New large fires were reported in the Northern Rockies, Western Great Basin
and Southern California Areas. Diminishing wind in the Northwest and
occasional thundershower activity in the Great Basin and Alaska aided
suppression efforts. Very high and extreme fire danger indices were
reported in Oregon, Alaska, California, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona,
Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, and Mississippi.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
TWO FORK, Saddle Mountain NWR. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Waterbury) and a Type II Incident Management Team (Ariss) are assigned.
This fire is northwest of Richland, WA and was caused by a motor vehicle
accident. Good progress was made today despite high fire danger indices
and poor access. Structure protection in the urban interface remains a
priority mission and the fire remains active along the northeast flank.
LUG NUT, Lakeview District BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(McElwain) has been ordered. This lightning-caused fire is 22 miles
northeast of Fort Rock, OR. The fire is burning in the Squaw Ridge Lava
Flow and Wilderness Study Area and was active around most of the
perimeter.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
RENO COMPLEX, Carson City Field Office, BLM. This fire is approximately
10 miles north of Reno NV. A Type I Incident Management Team (Carvelho)
is assigned. It was reported the fire received heavy rain from
thunderstorms in the area.
RAMSEY, Carson City Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning near Fernley,
NV in grass, sagebrush, pinon pine and juniper fuels. The fire was
burning at a rapid rate of spread and suppression efforts were hampered by
a lack of resources and rugged terrain.
TURTLE, Carson City Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning near Doyle,
NV. The fire exhibited active fire behavior and is burning in pinon pine,
juniper and sagebrush fuels.
ALASKA AREA LARGE FIRES:
CLEAR, Fairbanks Area, Alaska State Division of Forestry. A Type II
Incident Management Team (McKnight) is assigned. This fire is burning in
black spruce and mixed hardwoods 20 miles southwest of Nenana. Cooler
temperatures and higher humidities assisted the crews and dozers in making
good progress in securing the fire's perimeter. Some hot spots near the
fire's edge and windy conditions continue to pose some control problems.
NATLARATLEN RIVER, Galena Zone BLM. This fire is 20 miles north of Galena
burning in tundra and spruce. Crews are making excellent progress on both
flanks of the fire. The plan for today is to continue hotspotting and
mopping up along the fires edge.
TOLOVANA DOME, Tanana Zone BLM. This fire, 60 miles northwest of
Fairbanks, is burning in black spruce and hardwoods. The fire is not
contained, however; crews were aided by rain. No significant acreage
increase reported.
BEARPAW MOUNTAIN, Tanana Zone BLM. The fire is burning in black spruce
100 miles southwest of Fairbanks. Fire behavior has moderated due to
lower temperatures and some intermittent rain showers. Cabin site
protection is completed. Acreage increase is due to improved mapping.
ZITZIANA, Tanana Zone BLM. This fire, 85 miles west of Fairbanks, was
lightning-caused on 6/13. Cabin protection and site assessments are
continuing.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
BEAR CAMP, Clearwater National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Colla) is assigned. The fire is 40 miles southwest of Missoula, MT and
was started near a logging operation.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
BARRETT, San Diego Ranger Unit, California Division of Forestry. This
fire is near Tecate, CA. The fire exhibited rapid rates of spread.
OUTLOOK:
*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED FOR THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS OF SOUTHEAST
IDAHO AND NORTHEAST NEVADA FOR DRY LIGHTNING ***
The western United States will see scattered thunderstorms from the
Sierras to the Southern California mountains eastward through the southern
Great Basin and the Southwest. Dry thunderstorms are forecast for the
northern fringe of this monsoonal moisture in northeast Nevada and
southern Idaho. Isolated thunderstorms are also forecast for the Northern
Rockies. Oregon and Washington will remain dry and temperatures will be
slightly cooler. The Cascades will have breezy conditions with west winds
of 15 to 30 mph.
The interior of Alaska will be partly cloudy with a few showers or
thunderstorms. High temperatures will be from 62 to 75 degrees and minimum
relative humidities will be from 30 to 40 percent.

Understanding the Performance-Based Design Process -
A Workshop for the Enforcement Community
Presented by
Society of Fire Protection Engineers
in collaboration with FEMA
the US Fire Administration's National Fire Academy
the International Code Council and
the International Fire Marshal's Association
With the emergence of the performance-based design option as a state-of-the
art tool for building design, members of the enforcement community need
tools to be able work in this new environment.
Performance-based design concepts are not new. Alternatives to a strict
application of prescriptive code requirements are often proposed by
designers and reviewed by authorities having jurisdiction. The performance-
based design option takes this common practice and provides a
well-documented framework. This framework can help both those who seek
alternatives when a particular building design does not strictly match
prescriptive code requirements, and the authorities having jurisdiction who
are faced with these new designs.
This one day workshop will review in detail the performance-based design
process and will introduce some of the technical details of that process.
One of its objectives is to provide the National Fire Academy with
information to design future in-depth courses on the technical details of
performance-based design for authorities having jurisdiction.
Among the subjects covered:
the principle differences between prescriptive and performance-based design
options
defining fire safety goals and objectives and performance criteria for a
specific building
the selection of design fire scenarios
developing and evaluating trial designs
the role of documentation in the design process
practical case studies
The workshop is intended for fire and building officials who have
responsibility for performing plan review functions. Workshops are free of
charge for fire and building officials.
Continuing Education Units (CEU's) - the Society of Fire Protection
Engineers will award 0.6 Continuing Education Units to those attending.
