Umatilla National Forest implements fall prescribed burning plans
“C ooler tem pera­
tu res and scattered rain
show ers have im proved
conditions enough to begin
implementing the Umatilla
National Forest’s fall pre­
scribed burning program,”
announces Chris Johnson,
Fuels M anagem ent P ro­
gram Lead. Forest visitors
can expect to encounter
prescribed burning activi­
ties this fall and need to be
cautious when hunting or
camping near a treatment
area. Prescribed burning
is h ig h ly d e p e n d an t on
weather conditions. “Con­
ditions have to be within
a narrow window in order
to im plem ent prescribed
fire,” said Johnson. Fall
and spring w eather pro­
vide the best conditions for
prescribed burning: moist
soil, dry material and cooler
temperatures.
P rescribed burns
are used to achieve several
goals. Most often the goal is
to reduce the risk of intense
wildfire by reducing dead
fuel accumulation. “In areas
where prescribed burning
has taken place, wildfires
are more likely to stay in the
surface fuels, close to the
ground, and out o f the tree
crowns,” said Johnson. “A
wildfire in surface fuels is
much easier to control than
a crown fire.” Prescribed
burning is also used to sig­
nificantly lower the risks
that wildfires represent to
local comm unities. Other
objectives include big game
and other wildlife habitat
improvement and activity
slash reduction. A ctivity
fuel, such as slash, is the
non-merchantable material
that remains after harvest
and other mechanical treat­
m ent a ctiv ities. N atural
fuel burns, or “ landscape
burns,” are low intensity
burns over larger areas that
can sometimes take weeks
to complete. All prescribed
burning will comply with
federal, state, and local air
quality and smoke dispersal
guidelines to reduce the
impacts o f smoke on forest
visitors and local commu­
nities. Prescribed burning
should be completed by the
end of November.
“Now that weather
conditions have changed,
the public can expect to
see several public land
management agencies tak­
ing advantage o f suitable
burn days,” said Johnson.
In addition to the U m a­
tilla National Forest, other
National Forests will also
implement a fall prescribed
bum program. For informa­
tion on burning on privately
owned land, contact your
local Oregon Department
o f Forestry office.
Maps o f the pro­
posed prescribed bums are
available on the Umatilla
National Forest website at
w w w .fs.fed.us/r6/um a or
at any forest office. It is
important to note that not
all proposed burns listed
are likely to be completed
this Fall as typical weather
conditions provide for lim­
ited burn w indow s. For
