INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
SUNDAY, MAY 13, 2001 - 0900 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL 1
CURRENT SITUATION:
Initial attack activity was moderate in northern California and the
Southwest Area, and light elsewhere. One new large fire was reported in
Arizona, and one fire in Nevada has been contained. Thunderstorms in the
Southwest will be mostly wet, lessening the probability of new fire
activity. Forecast dry lightning in Nevada may increase the potential for
initial attack activity there. Very high to extreme fire indices were
reported in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LARGE FIRES
JONES, Klamath National Forest. A Type 2 Incident Management Team
(McElwain) is assigned. The fire is near Klamath River, CA. Mopup
continues around structures and on Highway 96. Crews are removing snags
along the highway. Direct fireline is being built on the northern flank of
the fire.
ROCK CREEK, Tahoe National Forest. A Type 2 Incident Management Team
(Szcezepznik) is assigned. The fire is eight miles southeast of Loyalton,
CA near Jones Valley. Heavy fuels within the fire’s interior continue to
burn out. Inaccessibility on the north side of the fire and wind gusts to
20 mph are challenging containment efforts.
