The Park Fire continues to rage across over 421,000 acres and is 34% contained -- which is the result of a remarkable amount of work. We are very concerned about reports of entrapments of firefighters who are already working under horrific conditions. This megafire is a monster. Watch the video and witness the vortex (firenado) and then imagine fighting it under this heat. This is the Era of Megafire. "Operations Chief Mark Brunton told firefighters in the morning briefing that Mill Creek and Deer Creek remain the focus. He told the crews that they had had some equipment burnovers and that fire behavior was unprecedented and they need to have situational awareness and to be "hypersensitive about it." "Talking to a lot of people that have been around fires for quite a while — myself included is the fact that this is the kind of fire behavior that is unprecedented," he said. "We haven't seen ... I mean for this fire to jump up in the top five most destructive fires in California's history has said something and you're seeing it out there. So it's time to maintain that sit Night operations chief Eric Schwab said that a firing operation was started last night in the area of Highway 36 and 172 in an attempt to cut the head off. The ParkFire has burned 107,116 acres in the Lassen National Forest. Monday's fire activity forced some evacuation warnings to be upgraded in the area east of Mill Creek.

The federal government had sued the company in 2020 on the forest service’s behalf, alleging the utility’s power lines ignited the blaze, which according to state fire officials burned more than 280,000 acres across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, killed two people and destroyed more than 1,000 structures. The lawsuit sought to recover the forest service’s costs in fighting the fire and for damages it caused to Los Padres National Forest, the US attorney’s office for California’s central district said. In the settlement, which was finalized Friday, the utility has agreed to pay the $80 million without admitting wrongdoing or fault, prosecutors said. Of the more than 280,000 acres burned, more than 150,000 acres were National Forest System land, federal prosecutors said. The settlement “provides significant compensation to taxpayers for the extensive costs of fighting the Thomas Fire and for the widespread damage to public lands,” First Assistant US Attorney Joseph McNally said in a release. The utility said in 2018 that its equipment might have sparked the Thomas Fire. Utilities have been involved in other multimillion-dollar settlements and penalty payments related to destructive wildfires in recent years. In 2019, Southern California Edison agreed to pay $360 million to settle claims with cities and counties impacted by three wildfires, including $210 million for costs associated with the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which state fire officials said burned more than 96,000 acres across Ventura and Los Angeles counties, destroyed more than 1,600 structures and killed three people. The Pacific Gas and Electric utility will pay $45 million in penalties for its role in the 2021 Dixie Fire – currently the second-largest wildfire in California’s history – which started after a tree fell and hit the company’s equipment in 2021, state regulators said in January. PG&E also was fined $125 million for its role in the 2019 Kincade Fire in Sonoma County as part of a settlement with the California Public Utilities Commission.

Boulder Fire-Rescue has implemented Fire Aside’s Defensible Space & Home Hardening software in an expansion of the Curbside and Wildfire Home Assessment Project which aims to conduct an assessment of each home within the WUI in the City of Boulder. Boulder Deputy Fire Chief, Jeff Long shared “As Boulder Fire-Department continues to create more robust responses and community education pieces about wildfire risks in our community, it is important that we can rely on systems that are already tested to do the work that we need done. Fire Aside is an example of a system that allows us to better engage and inform our community about wildfire risk reduction.” We are proud to support Colorado agencies like Boulder Fire-Rescue who are following Biden's Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission report recommendations, building pro-active sustainable solutions to make their communities more wildfire resilient.

Lead Forestry Specialist for Environmental Consultants Inc. Seeking an opportunity to showcase leadership aptitude & further develop technical prowess.
Nothing tests workplace fortitude like an assault of this ferocity. The victims of this senseless shooting share the same parent company, utility contract, department, and region as me. Though we are only acquaintances, I have taken a personal interest in their recoveries and continue to encourage further preventative actions to avoid future conflicts for my team! In this line of work, we combat hazards from all sides; yet, to think that a friendly property owner could suddenly become a threat to life has been a dramatic wakeup call for the entire industry. See this article (and others) for context: https://lnkd.in/euJyJA5b
"On Wednesday, July 24, three members of the utility vegetation management family were senselessly attacked while performing their work. Resorting to violence over a disagreement is inexcusable. Our hearts go out to the workers, their families, and their employers – all of whom are victims of this tragic incident." A message from UAA Executive Director Dennis Fallon following the shooting of tree workers clearing the right of way for a utility company near Murphytown, North Carolina.

Did you know the U.S. federal government manages around 640 million acres, of all land across the United States? That's roughly 1/4 of all U.S. land. Federal agencies are continually faced with the challenge of how best to manage public lands in the face of more frequent and dangerous wildfires, and the lasting costs and environmental effects than ever before. In recognition of the 30th Anniversary of National Public Lands Day, September 23, this article dives into the recent works on how the federal government is managing and restoring public lands. This is the kind of work RoGO supports and collaborates with because without this work, our lifesaving Dropblock devices have to work that much harder. Want to know more? Give us a call! Contact Rod Goossen or Todd M. Hinman-Briscoe to find out more about the work we are doing to support the BLM and other organizations working to mitigate wildland fires. https://lnkd.in/gzDPNvtt #wildlandfire #bureauoflandmanagement #technology #data #communications

Yesterday, the Texas A&M Forest Service reported that both the Smokehouse Creek and Windy Deuce Wildfires were ignited by power lines owned, operated, and maintained by an electrical utility provider. The involved utility provider publicly conceded that its equipment was involved in the ignition of the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire, but currently denies its equipment was involved in the Windy Deuce Wildfire. The #Smokehouse Creek Wildfire is now the largest wildfire in Texas history. Impacted ZIP codes include 79083, 79007, 79059, 79014, 79046, and 73832 The #WindyDeuce Wildfire has impacted properties in the following ZIP codes: 79036, 79068, and 79108.
