INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II
CURRENT SITUATION:
The Western Great Basin, Eastern Great Basin and Northern Rockies Areas
reported new large fire activity. Initial attack activity was moderate in
the Northwest, Northern Rockies and Great Basin Areas. The National
Interagency Coordination Center processed orders for airtankers,
helicopters, radio equipment, engines, and miscellaneous overhead. Very
high to extreme fire danger indices were reported in Oregon, Washington,
California, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
CHERRY, Ely Field Office, BLM. This fire is 70 miles northwest of Ely,
NV. The fire is burning in dense pinyon pine, juniper and white fir.
Wind shifts have caused irregular fire behavior, rapid rates of spread and
the smoke is creating some visibility problems. Airtankers have been used
to effectively protect structures. The fire has burned into a wilderness
study area.
STRAWBERRY, Ely Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Murphy) is assigned. The fire, which was caused by lightning, is 30
miles northeast of Eureka, NV. Fuels involved are grass, sagebrush,
oakbrush, pinyon pine and juniper. Crews are making good progress on
fireline construction. Threats are to wildlife habitat.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
An Area Command Team (Mann) is assigned to manage the large fires in
western Colorado. A Type II Incident Management Team (Anderson) is
staging in Denver.
BUSTER FLATS, Dinosaur National Monument, NPS. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Sisk) is assigned. This fire is burning in pinyon pine
and juniper 75 miles northwest of Craig, CO in very steep terrain.
Containment has not yet been achieved due to very rugged terrain and
safety concerns for firefighters. Open perimeter is being mopped up with
helicopter drops.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
LONGLEAF VISTA, Kisatchie National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Melton) is assigned. The fire is 35 miles northwest of Alexandria,
LA and is burning in a wilderness area. No other information was
reported.
F & W, Florida State Division of Forestry. This lightning-caused fire is
in Calhoun County, northeast of Panama City. No new information was
reported.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
TILDEN, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. This fire is
burning on state and private land nine miles southeast of Atomic City, ID.
Fuels are grass and sagebrush.
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. This lightning-caused fire
is burning in a wilderness area 26 miles northwest of Salmon, ID. The
suppression strategy is to contain the fire using natural barriers.
Helicopter bucket work is keeping the fire from crossing to the east side
of Clear Creek.
ALASKA AREA LARGE FIRES:
Alaska currently has 25 unstaffed fires in limited protection areas for
333,949 acres.
ZITZIANA, Tanana Zone, BLM. This lightning-caused fire, which started on
6/13, is 85 miles west of Fairbanks. Crews continue fireline construction
around native allotments on the Tanana River. The fire received
substantial precipitation and is showing very little activity.
BEARPAW MOUNTAIN, Tanana Zone, BLM. This fire is burning in black spruce
100 miles southwest of Fairbanks. It was started on 6/24 by lightning.
Mopup operations are nearing completion.
BERING CREEK, Tanana Zone, BLM. This fire is 35 miles southwest of
Tanana. It was started by lightning on 6/14 in a limited suppression
area. Recent showers and fog have assisted crews in progressing with
mopup work.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
TANNER, Tonto National Forest. This lightning-caused fire is burning in
brush and timber near Young, AZ. Continuous cloud cover greatly aided
suppression efforts yesterday. A burnout operation is underway.
OUTLOOK:
*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS
OF OREGON AND HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON FOR DRY LIGHTNING ***
*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED IN NORTHERN IDAHO AND SOUTHWEST MONTANA
FOR DRY LIGHTNING ***
*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED IN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MONTANA FOR DRY
LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS ***
Monsoon moisture will continue to circulate into portions of Utah and
Colorado, bringing isolated to scattered afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. The lingering moisture in the western Great Basin will
move north into central Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana bringing a
chance of mainly dry thunderstorms. The remainder of the Great Basin will
be mostly sunny to partly cloudy.
Winds will be west to southwest at 10 to 20 mph. Local gusts of 25 to 30
mph can be expected during the afternoon in parts of Utah. Temperatures
will range from the 60's and 70's in the mountains to the 80's and 90's in
lower elevations and up to 105 in the deserts of southern Utah and Nevada.
Minimum humidities will be from 15 to 35 percent in most areas, except in
the Utah and Nevada deserts where humidities will be from 5 to 15 percent.

=> Civil Air Patrol and the U.S. Air Force to sign agreement
MAXWELL AFB, ALA. - Civil Air Patrol and the U.S. Air Force will sign a new
Coopertive Agreement at 5:30 pm, Wednesday, July 12, in Washington, DC. Air
Force Secretary F. Whitten Peters, CAP National Commander Brig. Gen. James
C. Bobick and CAP Executive Director Col. Robert L. Brooks will sign the
document. U.S. Senators Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) are
scheduled to attend the ceremony, as well as Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Michael E. Ryan and CAP-USAF Commander Col. Dennis B. Parkhurst.
The new agreement outlines the future working relationship between Civil Air
Patrol and the U.S. Air Force. The document contains nine sections outlining
the term of the agreement; enforcement and termination procedures; program
management; financial repsonsibilities; resolution procedures for claims,
disputes and appeals; reporting of program performance; and certifications
and assurances.
Specifics of the agreement are detailed in the "Statement of Work for Civil
Air Patrol," which is attached to the cooperative agreement.
The term of the agreement begins October 1, 2000, and continues through
September 30, 2001. The agreement may be extended through the next federal
fiscal year and for subsequent fiscal years subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.
"The signing of this agreement heralds a new era for Civil Air Patrol and
the U.S. Air Force," says CAP National Commander Brig. Gen. James C. Bobick.
"
The signing of the agreement culminates months of negotiations between Civil
air Patrol and the U.S. Air Force, and ultimately provides the Air Force
with more control and oversight of its volunteer civilian auxiliary. In
February of this year, Civil Air Patrol's National Board members approved
the creation of a new Board of Governors that includes representatives from
the U.S. Air Force, Congress, industry and CAP. This past spring, Civil Air
Patrol and the Air Force jointly presented draft legislation defining the
changes in their relationship.
"The signing of the Cooperative Agreement, along with Congressional approval
of the proposed legislation and installment of the new Board Governors will
result in a closer working relationship with the U.S. Air Force," says
Bobick. "Civil Air Patrol has always been proud of its association with the
Air Force and the generous support we've received over the years. We look
forward to a long future of carrying out noncombat missions of our nation's

=> Dod Temporarily Slows Anthrax Vaccination Effort
The Department of Defense (DoD) announced today that it is temporarily
slowing its Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP) effort. Most of the
remaining vaccine will be used to help protect those most at risk serving in
the High Threat Areas of Southwest Asia and Korea. DoD will continue new
starts for the highest risk personnel serving in the High Threat Areas;
other new starts will be deferred. We plan to defer for those personnel who
have begun the shot series, but have since departed the High Threat Areas. A
full resumption of the vaccination effort will occur when a sufficient
supply of FDA-approved and certified safe and effective vaccine is
available.
=> Weekly Summary of Forecasts & Threats
SYNOPSIS: Large high pressure continues aloft centered near Colorado,
resulting in hot and dry weather for the central and southern Plains and
much of the West. An upper level trough over the Eastern Seaboard will
contribute beneficial rains to the Southeastern drought region.
THREATS
Long-term drought continues over portions of the Plains, with little change
expected, as high temperatures will offset the benefits of passing
thunderstorms.
Hot, dry weather will persist over the central and southern Plains, rapidly
depleting soil moisture and posing risks to livestock.
General risk of wildfires remains high and may increase over a large part of
the West due hot, dry weather.
Above-normal rains over the Southeast will bring some relief to long-term
drought.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday July 14 through Sunday July 16: Hot weather will return to the
Plains, accompanied by scattered showers. Widespread showers will blanket
the Southeast, some locally heavy. Temperatures will be above normal across
most of the interior West, with some scattered showers.
For Monday July 17 through Friday July 21: Forecast models consistently show
that mean troughs along the west and east coasts will persist with a strong
ridge located over the Central U.S. Hot and dry conditions will prevail over
much of the central and southern Plains, with above-normal temperatures and
little rain also expected over the interior West. The upper level trough and
remains of a cold front should combine to bring more showers to the
Southeast, offering some drought relief.

Space Weather News for July 12, 2000
Coronagraphs on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded a
fast-moving full halo coronal mass ejection on July 11th. Solar wind
disturbances from that explosion and others could arrive at our planet
within 48 to 72 hours. Forecasters estimate a 40% chance of major
geomagnetic activity on July 14, 2000.
