The Wrentham Market Fire began on 06/29 east of Dufur in Wasco County, burning on unprotected lands in the Columbia Rural Fire Protection District. Originally reported as a 40 acre fire, it rapidly grew with dry, windy conditions. Local fire crews worked with farmers and ranchers to cut lines and direct fire attack. Their efforts played a major role in saving structures and curtailing significant fire spread. The Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) Red Incident Management Team took command on 06/30 and was soon joined by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Unified command between OSFM and BLM was established as federal recreational land was threatened by further spread of the fire. Operations continued on Friday with mop-up and monitoring by both the BLM and OSFM Lane County Task Force. The fire remains at an estimated 7,222 acres and is 91% contained. BLM hand crews completed mop-up of hotspots, eliminating hazard trees, and strengthening fire lines. They will be transitioning out...

THREE PHASES OF WILDFIRE RECOVERY  There are three phases of recovery following wildfires on federal lands: -       Fire Suppression Repair -       Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) -       Long-Term Recovery and Restoration o   Fire Suppression Repair is a series of immediate post-fire actions taken to repair damages and minimize potential soil erosion and impacts resulting from fire suppression activities and usually begins before the fire is contained, and before the demobilization of an Incident Management Team. This work repairs the hand and dozer fire lines, roads, trails, staging areas, safety zones, and drop points used during fire suppression efforts. o   Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) is a rapid assessment of burned watersheds by a BAER team to identify imminent post-wildfire threats to human life and safety, property, and critical natural or cultural resources on federal lands...
