Book excerpt: CERRO GRANDE A Sheriff Lansing Mystery - Book 10 A controlled burn by the US Park Service becomes an uncontrolled inferno. The Los Alamos National Laboratory, Santa Clara Pueblo, and the lives of thousands of people are threatened. Creatures of the forest escape any way they can. The people of Santa Clara Pueblo fight the blaze to protect their homes. An old hunting outfitter struggles to save his operations. Three teenagers tracking the animal are attacked and chased through the mountains by an unseen terror. Sheriff Cliff Lansing finds blood at a break-in, a dead body thirty miles from the scene, and needs trackers to find who or what attacked the teens. Meanwhile, the Cerro Grande Fire is a looming threat to Los Alamos, Sandoval, and, eventually, San Phillipe Counties.

Book excerpt: "Tom Ribe's clear, scrupulous and thorough account of the Los Alamos/Bandelier fire of 2000 is a white-knuckle narrative, yet meticulously accurate." —Roger G. Kennedy, Former Director, U.S. National Park Service; Director Emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution and author of Wildfire and Americans Inferno by Committee tells the story of America's worst prescribed fire disaster, the Cerro Grande Fire of 2000 which burned 250 homes in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The fire started with a National Park Service prescribed fire that went out of control and ended up burning 42,000 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest. A thorough review of the investigations of the fire and the policy changes that resulted from this seminal event in American fire history are also an integral part of this examination. Prescribing fire on the landscape involves risk. Sometimes, as with the Cerro Grande Fire, the risk taken results in disaster. For land managers, there really is no option but to prescribe fire and take risk—to restore fire to a landscape where fire is native and necessary for the survival of biological systems. Cerro Grande showed us both the consequences of taking a risk with fire and more dramatically, the consequences of avoiding that risk.

Download or read book Fire Management Lessons Learned From the Cerro Grande Los Alamos Fire and Actions Needed to Reduce Fire Risks written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are here today to discuss two related issues, lessons learned from the recent Cerro Grande fire, and, on a broader note, actions needed to mitigate current hazardous forest conditions in the interior West. Only a few months ago, the Los Alamos fire, now officially known as the Cerro Grande fire, caused hundreds of families in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to lose their homes and more than 18,000 residents of the state to be evacuated. Over 1,000 fire fighters were required to bring the fire under control. Estimates have placed total damages at about $ 1 billion. This tragedy was the result of a prescribed fire ignited by officials of the National Park Service. Ironically, the fire was ignited in an effort to reduce some of the vegetative buildup in a forested area of Bandelier National Monument and thus help prevent the very kind of event that occurred. The plan was to burn up to 900 acres; in the end about 48,000 acres were burned. The policy supporting the use of prescribed or controlled burns as a forest management tool has been in place for some time. According to analyses by federal land management agencies, the use of prescribed burns has been and will continue to be a critical component of forest management if the nation wants to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, particularly in the interior West. The need to reduce these risks has never been more obvious as it as at this time. While the Cerro Grande fire demonstrated this, as events have unfolded, it was only the beginning of what has turned out to be one of the worst wildfire seasons in history with over 4 million acres already burned and dozens of fires still burning in many western states. In reviewing the events surrounding the Cerro Grande fire, we examined how well the policy was implemented and what, if any, lessons can be learned to prevent future tragedies like it.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2000, the Cerro Grande fire burned about 7400 acres of mixed conifer forest on the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and much of the 10,000 acres of mountainside draining onto LANL was severely burned. The resulting burned landscapes raised concerns of increased storm runoff and transport of contaminants by runoff in the canyons traversing LANL. The first storms after the fire produced runoff peaks that were more than 200 times greater than prefire levels. Total runoff volume for the year 2000 increased 50% over prefire years, despite a decline in total precipitation of 13% below normal and a general decrease in the number of monsoonal thunderstorms. The majority of runoff in 2000 occurred in the canyons at LANL south of Pueblo Canyon (70%), where the highest runoff volume occurred in Water Canyon and the peak discharge occurred in Pajarito Canyon. This report describes the observed effects of the Cerro Grande fire and related environmental impacts to watersheds at and near Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for the first four runoff seasons after the fire, from 2000 through 2003. Spatial and temporal trends in radiological and chemical constituents that were identified as being associated with the Cerro Grande fire and those that were identified as being associated with historic LANL discharges are evaluated with regard to impacts to the Rio Grande and area reservoirs downstream of LANL. The results of environmental sampling performed by LANL, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) after the Cerro Grande fire are included in the evaluation. Effects are described for storm runoff, baseflow, stream sediments, and area regional reservoir sediment.
