|---|---|---|---|
| 09/01/09 10:23:45 | Yes | All | High elevations (above 7500 feet): Live fuel moistures in the sage, shrubs and fine fuels are 2/3 to full cured and fire behavior is active. Mixed conifer and 1000 hr fuels are at average and contributing fire behavior potential. Lower elevations (below 7500 feet): Native warm season grasses are 2/3 to fully cured and supporting fire growth. Cheat grass at lower elevations are fully curred. Live fuel moistures for Pinyon Pine, Juniper and Sage are at normal to slightly below normal levels and are in a downward trend. Due to heavy native grass fuel loading, below average live fuel moisture readings and cured out cheat grass with most natives also curred out, fire behavior has been above average with potential for large fire growth under red flag warning conditions. |
| 08/21/09 11:07:34 | Yes | 7,500 | High elevations (above 7500 feet): Live fuel moistures in the sage, shrubs and mixed conifer are greened up and above average. Fire behavior in these fuel models is expected to be low to moderate. 1000 hr fuels are at average to above average further moderating fire behavior potential. Lower elevations (below 7500 feet): Native warm season grasses are greened up and in some places have begun to cure out. The lack of spring moisture did not allow cheat grass to produce much biomass fuel loading. Cheat grass at lower elevations are fully curred. Live fuel moistures for Pinyon Pine, Juniper and Sage are at normal to slightly below normal levels and are in a downward trend. Due to heavy native grass fuel loading, below average live fuel moisture readings and cured out cheat grass with some natives also curred out, fire behavior could be above average with potential for large fire growth under red flag warning conditions. |
