    Burned Area Emergency Response team concluding work on Pipeline Fire, moving to Haywire Fire

    Verde Valley News – The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team, ordered to assess damage caused by recent wildfires on the Coconino National Forest, is concluding assessments of Pipeline Fire damage and moving on to the Haywire Fire.

    The BAER team, led by Forest Service Soil Scientist Eric Schroder, will spend today and Tuesday analyzing the need for any post-fire emergency stabilization actions that could reduce post-fire risks to critical BAER values.

    Critical BAER values located within the perimeter of the Pipeline Fire include Forest Service-owned property, such as campgrounds, roads and trails; natural resources such as soil productivity and hydrologic function; threatened and endangered species habitat; native plant communities; and cultural resources. Human life and safety is always a critical BAER value.

    The team is also compiling a BAER assessment report, which details watershed pre- and post-fire response information; areas of concern for human life and safety; natural resources; cultural resources; property; and recommended short-term emergency stabilization actions for federal lands that are at risk. In most cases, only a portion of the burned area will be treated.

    Following analysis, the Pipeline Fire BAER team will present findings, as well as treatment recommendations, to Coconino NF leadership.

    Timely implementation is critical for effective BAER emergency response actions. Should treatments be approved, the goal is to implement treatments as soon as possible. The BAER assessment team coordinates with other federal and local agencies, such as Coconino County, that may assist private landowners in preparing for increased run-off and potential flooding.

    While the BAER team concludes work within the Pipeline Fire perimeter, it is also beginning to assess soil burn severity within the burned area of the Haywire Fire. BAER teams conduct field surveys to produce soil burn severity maps, which assess potential watershed impacts from fires. Potential impacts – such as increased flooding, sedimentation, rock slides and debris flows – may threaten values at risk.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
