Montrose Interagency Dispatch Center

2007 Year End Report

The Montrose Interagency Fire Management Unit (MIFMU) experienced a very
mild fire season during 2007. Predictions for an active fire season in
western Colorado did not materialize, as fuel conditions remained near
average, and the hot and dry weather produced fewer than usual
thunderstorms. For the second year in a row, fire occurrence and numbers
of acres burned were below annual averages for the unit.

In preparation for the 2007 season, a major milestone was accomplished
with the approval of Wildland Fire Use (WFU) as a fire management
strategy on lands administered by the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and
Gunnison National Forest (GMUG). During the winter months, an
inter-disciplinary team developed a proposal to amend the Fire
Management Plan to include WFU in areas identified where naturally
occurring wildfires would provide resource benefits. A significant
effort was made to incorporate existing Bureau of Land Management and
National Park Service plans for WFU into a unit-wide project that could
be implemented across the entire MIFMU.

The Forest Leadership Team approved the amended Fire Management Plan,
and a media information and community outreach program was undertaken to
educate and prepare the public for the implementation of Wildland Fire
Use as an Appropriate Management Response (AMR). In late June, a
lighting strike ignited a small fire in the Cochetopa Hills, and the
Lujan Ridge fire became the first WFU on the GMUG National Forest. Over
a period of several weeks, the fire made runs of varying size and
intensity, resulting in a beneficial mosaic burn pattern on 52 acres of
decadent spruce, fir, and bristlecone pine.

The Lujan Ridge fire provided fire management and resource staff an
excellent opportunity to implement the WFU program, and this experience
was applied to three other WFU candidate fires during the remainder of
the season. All of the Ranger Districts on the GMUG, except for Paonia
RD, which did not have a candidate fire start, had the opportunity to
manage a WFU fire this summer. While there was no subsequent growth on
either the Sawmill Mesa or Traver Mesa fire starts, the Hauser WFU fire
was a late season event on the Uncompahgre Plateau that achieved
excellent fire effects on 41 acres of ponderosa pine, gambel's oak, and
serviceberry.

In addition, the Section 28 fire on BLM land southeast of Nucla was
successfully managed as WFU incident on 135 acres of pinion pine,
juniper, and sagebrush fuels. Incident complexity required additional
resource commitment due to adjacent private lands, and high visibility
to several nearby communities. An agreement was signed with a landowner
that allowed the Section 28 fire to burn onto their property, providing
resource benefits to both private and Federal lands.

As the monsoon rains arrived, MIFMU resources were mobilized to assist
with the large fires burning in Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and
South Dakota. When the suppression resources returned from these
assignments, preparation for the fall prescribed burning season began.
Beginning in early September prescribed burns were conducted across the
unit, and a good portion of the interagency target was accomplished. The
Sand Mountain Rx burn was finally completed, when near-perfect weather
and fuels conditions presented an opportunity after several years of
uncooperative weather patterns. The cover photo for this report was
taken by Jeff Davids, during black-lining operations on Sand Mountain.

# Montrose Interagency Fire Management

# Fuels Management Accomplishments

Over 11,000 acres of fuels were treated with Wildland Urban Interface
and Hazardous Fuels funding in the Montrose Unit. Both prescribed fire
(5,300 acres) and mechanical treatment (6,471 acres) were used across
the unit by USFS and BLM. Mechanical treatments ranged from
chainsaw/hand piling to fecan flail, hydroaxe and roller chop
treatments. Prescribed burning occurred in fuel types as diverse as
grass/sage, sage/pinyon-juniper, oakbrush, slash (roller chops),
ponderosa pine understory, and piles. Due to significant fall moisture
(3-6" in 30 days between 9/16 and 10/16) the fall prescribed burn window
was marginal and subsequently not all projects were completed/initiated.
In addition, in the Uncompahgre Field Office many of the targeted
prescribed burn projects are becoming infested with cheatgrass,
partially as a response to significant spring/fall moisture the past 2
years and partly due to the earlier mechanical disturbances.

Within the Unit 2-3 new Firing Bosses were qualified through the
taskbook process, maintaining the total number of Ignition Specialists
at approximately 15. 3-4 personnel became single resource qualified and
will now be able to serve as Holding Specialists and Firing Boss
Trainees in FY07. The qualified firing Bosses received significant
amounts of experience and 3 of them are now pursuing Burn Boss
qualifications.

**Community Assistance/Mitigation and Education Program**

**Montrose Interagency Fire Management Unit**

**2007**

**[Community Assistance:]{.underline}**

The MIFU distributed \$60,000 in community assistance to the West Region
Fire Council under the leadership of Jennifer Dinsmore/San Miguel
County.

Delta County \$10,000

Ouray County \$5,000

San Miguel County \$25,000

Telluride FPD [\$20,000]{.underline}

\$60,000

The major accomplishments in Community Assistance for the year were to
begin work on four CWPPs, all of which are near completion: Delta
County: Hotchkiss Fire District, Ouray County: Horsefly Fire Protection
Association, Cornerstone Association, and Four Communities in Ouray
County (Lake Lenore, Whispering Pines, Panoramic Heights,
Dexter/Cutler). Delta County completed the GPS and structure evaluations
in the Cedaredge area and are now working to complete another section of
Delta County. Montrose County is still trying to start their GPS and
structure evaluations. San Miguel County has revised their County Fire
Plan and is preparing to contract to have a county-wide CWPP written.
The Telluride Fire Protection District is installing 5 dry hydrants in
outlying areas surrounding Telluride. Another accomplishment was to help
film, edit and produce a video on CWPP planning in conjunction with
Ouray County/Horsefly.

**[Education/Outreach:]{.underline}**

The major accomplishments for the year were to complete the "Why the
Smoke" prescribed fire brochures, write 2 Snapshot articles, and handle
some media stories

-   3 "Why the Smoke" Brochures for Ouray/Norwood/Gunnison Zones

-   2 Snapshot articles (CWPP video/fuels treatments on Section 28 fire)

-   KVNF talk show/DCI article/Telluride Watch article

-   2 meeting with Telluride Institute/SMWC educational coordinators to
    share PLT teaching materials and discuss Fire Ecology Institute

**[Collaboration:]{.underline}**

The major accomplishment for the year was to develop a Joint Fire
Science Project (JFSP) pre-proposal with Chris Stalling/Rocky Mountain
Research Station to do research on public input for the Uncompahgre
Plateau Project planning process. Another accomplishment was to present
on collaboration at the M-580 (FIEM) class.

-   Met with UP technical committee to propose the research project

-   Worked with Chris to write the pre-proposal

-   Worked with Jimmy Chew/RMRS to provide data to them to model in
    SIMPPLLE

**[Fire Planning:]{.underline}**

The major accomplishments for the year were to assist the GMUG in
developing a Forest Plan Amendment to allow for WFU and writing a
section of the Environmental Assessment. Additional accomplishments
included revising the maps and FMU write-ups for the Grand Valley Ranger
District and participating at the national level in revising the BLM
Fire Management Plan Handbook and providing input on the Interagency
Fire Management Template.
