25c VOL. 12 NO. 20 Recap of fire efforts shows proficiency, coordination Final mop-up operations were underway earlier this week as the fires on the Warm Springs reserva tion subsided. A total of 1,265 acres were burned in four of the reservations largest fires with an additional 33 acres burned in another 41 fires. The fires began after a lightning storm August 31. At the onset, 40 fires were burning with only 80 crew members on hand to curtail the blazes. If it hadn't been for the quick response of local logging crews, Warm Springs Forest Products Industries employees and volun teers, said BIA Forest manager Bob Harned, the fires could have consumed "20,000 to 25,000 acres very easily."Th!i was the worst fire emergency in 30 years, Harned added. Because of the severity of the conditions, BIA Superintendent Bernard Topash was able to waive the employment stipulations required by the federal government. Accord-' ing to federal statues, personnel are not allowed to fight fires without first completing basic fire fighting and fire behavior classes. Also required is a physical exam and the successful completion of a "step up" test or running a mile-and-a-half in less than 12 minutes.

Ji o e classes and the tests are offered each spring to residents at no charge. According to Harned. "the Tribe was upset" because not more local people were used to fight the fires. "Federal standards must be followed." Harned stated that approximately $2 million was spent battling the blazes. Nearly $700,000 in timber, including a 100-acre, 35-year-old plantation in the North Butte burn was lost. Replanting of chared land is also included in the figure. According to Harned, 27 fire fighting crews, of 20 people per crew, were brought to Warm Springs. Total personnel involved was 720. To avoid being short-handed in future seasons, Harned is propose ing to organizing fire fighting groups in crucial fire areas including Sim nasho, Sidwalter and Seekseequa. Harned stated that each area will have one "fire warden" who will alert other area residents. The group 'will make the first attack on forest and range fires when they occur.!

Meetings will be held in late November or early December to explain further this proposal and the federal policy concerning fire fighters. tion 20, SHSHSWJ4SWM Section 17, Township, 9 South, Range 12 East, Willamette Meridian, Oregon, containing 60.00 acres, more or less. , II.
