When Fire Season arrives, the risk for fires increase, and restrictions go into effect. Here at ODF Southwest Oregon District, our goal is to effectively inform you of those restrictions, and we have a number of platforms we use to do so, ranging from online to in person. However, sometimes we still get questions surrounding restrictions, so this week, we're addressing those. MOWING There are different regulations on mowing in every different Fire Danger Level: LOW: Allowed Anytime MODERATE: Shutdown between 1 p.m. - 8 p.m. HIGH: Shutdown between 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. EXTREME: Not allowed anytime What most people don't realize is these restrictions only apply to DRY GRASS. Green lawn can be mowed at any time, and the culture and harvest of agricultural crops is also exempt. This means these shutdown periods are only for the mowing of dry vegetation. WHAT IF I HAVE A BATTERY-POWERED MOWER? Whether it's gas, electric, or battery-powered, all mowers have the potential to start a fire with their blades. Therefore, all are prohibited when restrictions are in place.

Milepost 97 Fire Fire Summary: July 28th, 10 AM Size: 11,009 Acres Containment: 5% Start Date: July 24, 2019 10:00pm Expected Containment Date: Unknown Location: One mile south of Canyonville, Oregon Cause: Human Caused

Est. Cost: $2,100,000 Personnel: 931 Resources: 37 hand crews 41 Engines 11 Dozers 6 Water Tenders Aircraft: 5 Type 1 Helo

5 Type 2 Helo 3 Type 3 Helo 2 SEATs Evacuations: Level 2 and Level 1 Structures Threatened: 586 Structures Damaged: 0 Structures Destroyed: 0 Closures: None

From RogueWeather.com: The Mile Post 97 Fire is a high priority fire for resources. This fire has been a State of Oregon fire from the start. It has not been and never likely will be a Forest Service fire in any way. The State of Oregon does NOT let fires burn. They fight them hard and try to get them wrapped up as fast as possible. In addition, there is a lot of private land the fire is burning on. The Cow Creek tribe that owns 7 Feathers also has a lot of timberland up there. They have been very involved with this fire from the start. This is not a let it burn fire. Right from I 5 the slopes are very steep and full of rocks. Almost impossible to negotiate easily. That would be bad enough when you are trying to fight fire there in the daylight. But this was 10:30 at night. The fire was generating enough heat to cause rocks to release and be rolling downhill towards fire fighters trying to get to the fire. And, in addition to that, there is a burn scar from 1987 directly upslope from where the fire began. This scar is full of heavy brush load and standing snags. That too would be a huge challenge in the daytime. At night….an impossible safety risk to get around. When daylight came they went to a full on air attack. They used 5 helicopters on the fire. Three air tankers were kept on load and return on the fire until daylight faded making it unsafe for them to fly. The smoke conditions on the Mile Post 97 Fire has limited air tanker use since Thursday. It was really bad on Friday, and Saturday was not a lot better. Friday the fire continued to rampage with high burn rate and aggressive spread. California has the largest fire fighting budget in the country. They use that money to place resources on contract that Oregon never could. Like the 747. Sometimes we can benefit from that because of the mutual aid agreements. But, that is going to depend on availability factors. And, if resources from California are used up here in Oregon, the State of Oregon still has to pay for that. But, right now, the issue is mute because the safety issues are not allowing air tankers up over the Mile Post 97 Fire. And, as for helicopters…they are there in numbers.

U.S. Forest Service-Modoc National Forest: The Tucker Fire is now 2,000 acres. Stuctures affected are scattered

out buildings. Powerlines impacted are large transmission lines. Firefighters report eradic behavior and rate of spread.

Multiple aircraft and ground crews are on scene. Harriette Fire Reported Sunday afternoon by Northwest Airlines located in the Mountain Lakes Wilderness area near Harriette Lake. The fire is currently 3 acres in a mixed timber and rock scree. Smoke can be seen from Hwy 140. There are 8 Rappelers on the ground, 1 ODF helicopter delivering bucket drops and two seat delivering water to suppress. Cause is unknown at this time. Two fires started Saturday morning along the Klamath River and Highway 96 in Siskiyou County. Update from Rogueweather.com: July 28th Yesterday two seperate fires were reported burning along Highway 96 in Northern Siskiyou County near the Tree of Heaven Campground along the Klamath River on lands in the Klamath National Forest. The two fires are under command of the Klamath National Forest. Both fires burned mainly in grass and brush. And, both fires are under investigation as to cause.

The eastern fire was named the Tree Fire. This morning it is at 75 acres. It is at 50 percent containment. The fire's spread was stopped yesterday afternoon. The fire is showing little activity this morning with smoldering going on. They are in mop up on all parts of the fire. 140 fire fighters are assigned to the fire this morning. The western fire is the Community Fire. This morning it is at 35 acres in size. It is at 50 percent containment. Like the Tree Fire, the fire's spread was stopped yesterday afternoon. The fire is showing little activity this morning with smoldering going on. They are in mop up on all parts of the fire. 60 fire fighters are assigned to the fire this morning. Helicopters will be used on both fires to cool hot spots if needed. Both fires are low risk now to show any further growth. Hornbrook Fire Protection District: Tree Fire on Hwy 96. Our crew was on the fire for 22 hours. Very tired!

A wildfire sparked at the side of the freeway was swiftly snuffed out near Central Point. Owing to swift response from a trio of agencies, a less than one acre grass fire near milepost 38 on southbound Interstate 5 was contained and more than halfway mopped-up within three hours Saturday afternoon, according to a release issued by Jackson County Fire District No. 3. Crews largely knocked down the fire near Central Point in less than 10 minutes. Fire District 3 says a landowner’s recent land maintenance removing vegetation created defensible space around the home. Read more Douglas Forest Protective Association So this happened today....crews from DFPA and Azalea Rural Fire Department responded to a report of an illegal debris burn located in the 3,000 block of Upper Cow Creek Road. A quick response from Azalea RFD located an individual burning a stump and suppressed the fire before it could spread to the surrounding vegetation. The responsible party was issued a citation for the illegal burn. Please help us! We need everyone’s cooperation to prevent new wildfires. Public Use Restrictions are in effect and all backyard debris burning is prohibited. A complete list of DFPA’s PUR’s can be found online at https://www.dfpa.net/public-fire-restrictions

NOAA forecast for this week

World Meteorological Organization High temperatures were observed across the Eastern United States this weekend with several locations reaching 37.7°C. As of 20 July, there were 7 new record highs (max), 17 new record high minimums, and 6 record lows across the northwest. The National Weather Service in Omaha shared an experiment on twitter where they attempted to bake biscuits in a car parked in the sun. After 8 hours, the biscuits were able to rise, and turn golden brown making the outside of them edible. The maximum temperature of the pan reached 85°C. Use this experiment as a reminder of the dangers of leaving pets and children in a car. Stay cool, and "look before you lock." World Meteorological Organization For the second time in less than one month, Europe is witnessing a widespread and intense heatwave. Many new records were set on 25 July in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands as temperatures passed the 40° Celsius mark. The United Kingdom saw its hottest July day on record. Heatwaves carry the signature of human-induced climate change. Scientific findings showing evidence of more frequent, drawn out and intense heat events as greenhouse gas concentrations lead to a rise in global temperatures. National meteorological and hydrological services have issued heat alerts and, in some areas, fire warnings to minimize the risk to life and the environment. The July heatwave follows an unusually early and exceptionally intense heatwave in June, which set new temperature records in Europe and ensured that the month of June was the hottest on record for the continent, with the average temperature of 2° Celsius above normal.

In all her years working at Bodega Bay, the marine reserve research coordinator Jackie Sones had never seen anything like it: scores of dead mussels on the rocks, their shells gaping and scorched, their meats thoroughly cooked. A record-breaking June heatwave apparently caused the largest die-off of mussels in at least 15 years at Bodega Head, a small headland on the northern California bay.

And Sones received reports from other researchers of similar mass mussel deaths at various beaches across roughly 140 miles (225km) of coastline. “These events are definitely becoming more frequent, and more severe,” said Harley, citing diminishing mussel beds along the west coast, up to British Columbia. “Mussels are one of the canaries in the coal mine for climate change, only this canary provides food and habitat for hundreds of other species.” Read more Scores of dead mussels were on the rocks at Bodega Bay, California.

An invasion of pallid-winged grasshoppers descended on Las Vegas this week, taking over the Strip and several of the city’s most popular tourist spots, including the night skies above the Luxor hotel and casino.

The resort, a 30-story pyramid inspired by ancient Egypt, says that its Sky Beam, a powerful column of light issuing nightly from the peak of the pyramid, can be seen by airline pilots as far away as Los Angeles. But the beam has also become a magnet for grasshoppers, which experts say are drawn to ultraviolet light and could linger in Las Vegas for weeks. Read more See a video

The sea pangolin only lives by a few hydrothermal vents in the Indian Ocean, which are being targeted by deep-sea miners. Matt Simon at Wired reports that the snail is known from just four hydrothermal vents in the Indian Ocean. They are tough neighborhoods—about 1.5 miles underwater with crushing pressures and temperatures up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit. but the sea pangolin has developed an awesome way of coping. It builds the outer layer of its shell with iron sulfide, creating a suit of armor around its squishy, snaily innards. Researchers also believe the snail doesn’t really eat anything, but instead it relies on energy produced from bacteria it hosts in a large gland. In other words, it is a truly peculiar, confusing creature.

Mining of the sea floor, and especially mining at the depths where the snails live is not yet technologically or economically viable. But mining companies are gearing up for the day in the near future when they will be able to begin extracting metals and minerals from the deep. Deep sea hydrothermal vents, like the ones where the sea pangolin lives, are especially attractive since hydrothermal processes can concentrate gold, zinc, cobalt, and lithium in areas around the vents. Sigwart says that marine biologists are now assessing the status of other deep-ocean creatures living at hydrothermal vent habitats throughout the world. “Endangered status for hydrothermal vent species only found in areas under license for mining exploration, could be compared to a species that only lives in a patch of rainforest scheduled for logging,” Sigwart writes at The Conversation.

A NEW WAY of measuring how some glaciers melt below the surface of the water has uncovered a surprising realization: Some glaciers are melting a hundred times faster than scientists thought they were. Glaciers can extend hundreds of feet below the surface, explained Ellyn Enderlin, a glaciologist at Boise State University who was not involved with the study. Finding higher rates of submarine melting tells us that “glaciers are a lot more sensitive to ocean change than we’ve even thought.” Understanding the melting processes and calculating the amount of melt accurately is essential for planning for sea level rise. Read more Tidewater glaciers, like this one in Alaska, experience underwater melting 100 times faster than scientists previously estimated from theoretical models. Photograph By Jim Mone/ AP

Aug. 3 Sponsored field trip, Baker Cypress on Goosenest Mountain, Klamath National Forest

Baker Cypress (Hesperocyparis bakeri), also called Modoc Cypress, is a rare conifer species found in about 15 locations in Southern Oregon and Northern California. This fire adapted species produces cones that need heat to open and germinates best on bare mineral soil. We will visit a location of Baker Cypress on Goosenest Mountain and discuss some of the challenges of maintaining this species on the landscape. Afterwards, with time permitting, we will visit the Little Shasta Botanical Special Interest Area to see if we can find Greene’s Mariposa lily (Calochortus greenei) in bloom. This walk is considered to be easy to moderate. There may be some rocky or wet areas, so please wear sturdy hiking boots or shoes. Bring lunch or snacks and ample drinking water. Mosquito repellent is also recommended.

To carpool, meet behind the Klamath County Museum at 8:00. Otherwise, meet at 8:30 at the Butte Valley Historical Museum parking lot at the south end of Dorris along Highway 97 (just before the Bug Station). From there we will continue 15 miles south on Highway 97 and take Ball Mountain road west approx. 12 miles. Maps will be provided on Saturday.

The reason for the changes is to aid young adults living in Chiloquin (and surrounding areas) traveling to/from Eagle Ridge High School in Klamath Falls. The students depend on the Quail to get to/from school. Now students may ride Route 2 to get to school, and catch Route 4 to go home after school – cutting their commute time by roughly 4 hours!
