Predictive Services Discussion: The high pressure ridge over the southern Great Plains will begin to slowly

strengthen and migrate westward toward its former position over the Four Corners. As it does so, the scattered

wet convection will continue to redevelop over the Great Basin, Northern California, Oregon, and the Northern

Rockies. Some moisture could drift over the Sierra Crest and into Central and Southern California but remain

anchored over the mountains. Temperatures across the West will be slightly above normal. Significant winds

are not expected today in most areas unless they are associated with thunderstorms outflows.

HAZARD TREE - RISK MANAGEMENT Felling Safety Category

Environment:

Existing winds and forecast

Night operations

Steep slopes

Diseased or bug-kill areas

Number, density, and height of hazard trees

Anticipated burn-down time

Potential for domino effect to surrounding trees

Maintain situational awareness and continually reassess hazards

Hazard Tree Indicators:

Trees burning for any period of time

High risk tree species (rot and shallow roots)

Numerous downed trees

Dead, broken, or burning tops and limbs overhead

Accumulation of downed limbs

Absence of needles, bark or limbs

Leaning or hung-up

Note: In addition to suppression and mop-up operations, assess, control, and monitor hazard trees

along roads and when selecting break areas or campsites.

Hazard Control:

Eliminate the hazards with qualified sawyers, blasters/explosives, or heavy

equipment

Avoid hazards by designating “No Work Zones” (NWZ) – (flag, sign, and map)

Modify suppression tactics or fireline location to avoid extreme/high risk rated area

Post lookouts to help maintain secure area

Fire proof potential hazard trees to prevent ignition

Initiate road/traffic control and area closure

Keep clear of bucket drops near trees/snags

Establish trigger points for reposition to secure areas in response to high winds
