WILDFIRE NEWS OF THE DAY - 092008
The Super Scooper event at San Diego continues to make the news, so we lead off with a story contributed by San Diego FD Deputy Chief Brian Fennessy on this topic. Next up, two sobering stories, one from Colorado and one from Canada, in which firefighters are reminded of the danger of their profession. The USFS Walla Walla Ranger District had a large crowd at an informational meeting, probably in large part due to wildfires being in the news, as the next article shows. The battle on the Hidden Fire in Sequoia rages on, with traffic closures in that area, while firefighters have finally contained the Cascadel Fire, after a suppression price tag of over $3 million. Wildfires in Oregon are slowly being contained, as the next two articles demonstrate, and Arizona fire managers are laying plans to do controlled burns to protect residential areas. After the fires, enter the Arbor Day Foundation to perform restoration of burned areas (wildfires have burned over 27 million acres over the past four years). Fire Summit '08 is getting underway in Reno with a three-prong agenda on reducing fuels, isolating fuels, and removing the most combustible fuels from an area. Overseas, the Balkans are having problems with wildfire threatening another resort, this time in Croatia.
