FIRE
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II
CURRENT SITUATION:
Major growth occurred on the large fires in New Mexico and Texas. The
National Interagency Coordination Center mobilized air tankers,
helicopters, lead planes, infrared aircraft, radio equipment,
meteorological equipment, engines, and miscellaneous overhead. Very high
to extreme fire indices were reported in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
California, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Indiana, and Michigan.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
CERRO GRANDE, Bandelier National Monument. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Humphrey) is assigned. The fire is burning in mixed conifer one
mile southwest of Los Alamos, NM. The fire is threatening the Los Alamos
Laboratory, residences in the city of Los Alamos, gas pipelines, and
endangered species. Some voluntary evacuations have taken place.
Challenges to containment include heavy fuels, high winds, and long range
spotting.
CREE, Lincoln National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team (Hart)
is assigned. The fire is burning in pinyon-juniper forest near Ruidoso,
NM. High winds and low relative humidities are causing containment
problems. Most of the fire's spread was on the north flank.
Precautionary evacuations of several subdivisions in the city of Ruidoso
were initiated. One Type 6 Forest Service engine was damaged in a
burnover on Sunday, but no injuries resulted.
COON CREEK, Tonto National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Bateman) is assigned. The fire is 20 miles north of Globe, AZ in the
Sierra Ancha Wilderness. Crews and engines patrolled the fire perimeter
with emphasis on the east side of the fire. Helicopters provided bucket
support in Cherry Creek and Devil's Chasm.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
COOK RANCH, Texas State Forest Service. The fire is burning 36 miles
south of Ft. Stockton, TX. The fire burned actively all afternoon and
into the evening hours yesterday. Current threats are to residences, oil
fields, and power lines. Containment is hampered by limited access and
drought conditions.
7 BAR RESERVOIR, George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. The
fire is five miles east of Woodstock, VA. Steep, rocky terrain and strong
winds are causing control problems. Containment was expected last night.
