LTBMU Prescribed fire operations continue on Lake Tahoe East Shore. #CaFire #NvFire

  

U.S. Forest Service

Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU)

Prescribed Fire Information

Date Sent:  Oct. 24, 2013

Prescribed fire operations continue on East Shore

U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews may begin prescribed fire operations north of Zephyr Cove this weekend, October 26 and 27, 2013.

  Operations will take place across U.S. Highway 50 from the Skyland subdivision.  Weather and conditions permitting, crews will burn approximately one to five acres per day and expect to continue operations through the weekend and into next week.

  Due to the lack of California Air Resource Board declared burn days in California, operations previously scheduled in California have been switched with locations in Nevada.

Smoke will be visible on U.S. Highway 50.

  The Forest Service strives to minimize the impacts of smoke on local communities.

  Smoke-sensitive residents should consider staying indoors and keeping doors, windows and outside vents closed.  

For more information on prescribed fire and smoke management tips, visit http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/ltbmu/RxFireOps.

Forest Service staff will post road signs around the areas affected by the prescribed fire, send email notifications, and update the local fire information line at 530-543-2600, #6.

  To receive prescribed fire notifications, send an email to pa_ltbmu@fs.fed.us.

Nevada: REMSA Tactical Paramedic Credited With Saving Sparks Middle School Gunshot Victims

Tactical Trained REMSA Paramedics Credited With Saving Gun Shot Victims

RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) – Through the chaos that followed emergency calls from inside Sparks Middle School on Monday, after a 7th grader opened fire on a teacher and two other students, one emergency paramedic - first on scene - kept a clear head.
The whole time it felt like a drill, so he was going through the motions like he always had in his training,” REMSA Tactical Paramedic Team leader, Todd Kerfoot said.  “When he got to the patients, that's when he realized it was real."

Kerfoot said the member of his team moved in with law enforcement as other EMT’s staged outside the scene, waiting for his instructions.

“He was geared up, wearing all of our tactical gear and he moved in and was directed right to the patients," Kerfoot said.

“The initial tactical paramedic made contact and did some form of treatment on every patient,” REMSA EMS director Kevin Romero said.  “He was able to coordinate the response in by ambulance and other REMSA paramedics to get them to a zone that was safe and get them quick and immediate transport."

Romero said that includes the shooter who had shot himself in the head, and teacher Michael Landsberry who died moments after being shot in the chest.  After an assessment, the medic moved on to the two juvenile victims he could still help; each with single gunshot wounds.

“The initial treatment of blood loss saves lives and it's been proven in Afghanistan and Iraq. That's what they're there for and that's what he did and it probably did make a difference on one of those patients,” Romero said.

Romero said the difference was in the additional amount of time it would have taken to get treatment, had medical staff waited for police to clear the scene and declare the school grounds safe.

“They were able to take those people and move them out of the hot zone very quickly,” Romero said.

After being taken to the hospital in critical condition, both teens are now stable and expected to survive.

“It's a unique gift to be able to sort through chaos, to get people the quickest treatment as possible and you kind of have to look at the big picture, and that's what they're trained to do,” Romero said.

Spanish Winemaker Artesa Vineyards Plans To Destroy 154 acres of California Coastal Redwoods & Compact Soils.[Project Map] #CaParks

Spanish-owned winemaker Artesa Vineyards and Winery Plans To Level 154 acres of California Coast Redwoods and Douglas Firs to make way for Vineyards in the Gualala River watershed.

.

CAL FIRE Approved this project. 

Spanish winemaker is planning to plans to destroy 154 acres of coastal redwoods and Douglas firs in the 173 acre project site to make space for new grapevines which should be grown down in the valley with other commercial crops.

Since the permit process for the 20,000 acre Preservation Ranch development (over 1600 acres of vineyards) was withdrawn earlier in 2013, the Artesa-Sonoma project is the only forest-to-vineyard conversion project poised to proceed in California.

Public opposition to the project has been intense and sustained. Over 92,000 people signed a petition opposing the Artesa and Preservation Ranch projects. which is now closed, Artesa made any reply to the petitions

 Artesa Vineyards Destruction Project Site

The 173 acre Artesa-Sonoma vineyard project in Annapolis, remote northwestern Sonoma County, was authorized by CAL FIRE in 2012 to proceed with deforestation of the project site that lies within a rich and unique archaeological complex of Pomo village and camp sites.

Sequoia sempervirens /sɨˈkɔɪ.ə sɛmpərˈvaɪərənz/^[2] is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the cypress family Cupressaceae (formerly treated in Taxodiaceae). Common names include coast redwood, California redwood, and giant redwood.^[3] It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1200–1800 years or more.^[4] This species includes the tallest trees living now on Earth, reaching up to 379 feet (115.5 m) in height (without the roots) and up to 26 feet (7.9 m) indiameter at breast height. Before commercial logging and clearing began by the 1850s, this massive tree occurred naturally in an estimated 2,100,000 acres (8,500 km²) along much of coastal California (excluding southern California where rainfall is not sufficient) and the southwestern corner of coastal Oregon within the United States. An estimated 95% or more of the original old-growth redwood forest has been cut down,^[5] due to its excellent properties for use as lumber in construction.

The name sequoia sometimes refers to the subfamily Sequoioideae, which includes S. sempervirens along with Sequoiadendron (giant sequoia) and Metasequoia (dawn redwood). On its own, the term redwood usually refers to the coast redwood, which is covered in this article, and not to the other two species.

Naked Spanish Firefighters Protest Budget Cuts [Pics] [Video] #SpainFire

Spanish Firefighters go naked to protest budget cuts

Left With Nothing

Naked firefighters protest the Spanish government's $80 billion in cuts to public sector wages, as well as tax increases, inside their fire station in Mieres, near Oviedo, northern Spain, July 19, 2012. The banner reads, "So many cuts have left us with nothing."

The new austerity measures, recently announced by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, were one of the conditions met so that the financially strapped nation can receive $120 billion in bailout money from Eurozone countries. These are the biggest cuts Spaniards have had to endure in the country's democratic history

Former Yarnell Hill Fire Chief Peter Andersen Interview 'The state didn't listen to me' 'Too little To Late' 'They Let It Burn'

Former Yarnell chief: 'The state didn't listen to me'

Peter Andersen, who resigned in 2011, said it was crucial to attack the steadily expanding fire at dawn, before prevailing winds picked up

Former Yarnell Hill Fire Chief Peter Andersen Interview Oct. 8, 2013
Peter Andersen describes the Arizona Forestry Division's response to the Yarnell Hill Fire that killed 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots on June 30, 2013.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Former Yarnell Fire Chief Peter Andersen sat under a tree in his front yard having his morning coffee on Sunday, June 30, when the Granite Mountain Hotshots drove past his Glen Ilah home.

"At 8:03, [their] two buggies went by," Andersen says. "Right after they went by, the leaves started to blow. I shook my head. [The state] didn't listen to me."

Andersen, who resigned as Yarnell chief in 2011 after 12 years of service, was aggravated because he had warned an Arizona Forestry Division fire manager the night before that it was crucial to attack the steadily expanding fire in the hills above Yarnell at dawn, before prevailing southwesterly winds picked up about 8 in the morning.
