Wildfire Fire Management Systems1. National Fire Danger Rating System
2. Wildland Fire Behavior Systems
![Page 22: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. National Fire Danger Rating System Fire Danger Ratings are based upon large (1,000
acres plus) areas and predict what a wildfire will do if one should happen to start.
![Page 23: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
National Fire Danger Rating System Fire Danger Ratings are based upon large
(1,000 acres plus) areas and predict what a wildfire will do if one should happen to start.
Fire weather recordings are taken daily during the fire season at 1300 hours from established Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS)
![Page 24: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Fire Danger Ratings expressed as adjective ratings or color codes.
Five color codes are usually the norm; however, three color codes could be used at San Clemente Island.
![Page 25: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. Wildland Fire Behavior SystemsPredicts the anticipated minute by minute fire
behavior of an existing fire burning in a predetermined fuel model (grass, shrubs or trees).
![Page 26: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Wildland Fire Behavior SystemsPredicts the anticipated minute by
minute fire behavior of an existing fire burning in a predetermined fuel model (grass, shrubs or trees).
Fire behavior increases or decreases with changes of wind speed, fuel model, live and dead fuel moistures, slope, temperature and relative humidity.
![Page 27: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fire Behavior System Modeling should not be used to determine Fire Danger Rating.

Firebreaks vs FuelbreaksFirebreaks are those areas scraped to bare
mineral soil.
![Page 29: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Firebreaks vs FuelbreaksFirebreaks are those areas scraped to bare
mineral soil.
Paved or dirt roads, tank access roads and other mechanical means at least 10-foot wide.
![Page 30: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Firebreaks vs FuelbreaksFuelbreaks are areas where the vegetative fuels
have been modified by cutting, weed whipping, mowing or use of fire retardant chemicals.
They are usually 30 to 100 feet in width (depending on fuel model) and applied around structures, along roads and inaccessible areas to personnel and equipment.
![Page 31: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Core Strategy…Success TargetsCore Strategy…Success Targets
A change in management is expected when it is clear success targets are not achieved.
They relate to desired future conditions. Possible adjustments:
– Add fuelbreaks or use retardant
– Pre-position a fire truck or helicopter– Fuels management by prescribed burning– Restrict incendiary activities
![Page 41: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Core Strategy – conservation agreement Core Strategy – conservation agreement with a “resource bank” approachwith a “resource bank” approach
•As conditions improve for the land and species which are the focus of natural resource management, the risk of harming them from a fire incident or regime change lessens. Therefore, fire management can be adjusted accordingly.
•The expense of fire management can be adjusted for changing vulnerabilities.

SOCAL Range Complex EIS and Biological Opinion. New locations and types of ordnance use, such as central island ranges for SPECWAR.
Policy on restricting aerial suppression needs considering in Restricted Access Areas (RAAs) (those locations requiring an escort for unexploded ordnance) or Impact Areas. The potential to use a fixed-wing aircraft on standby on the mainland is an option currently being discussed.
Not all roads meet the standards described in the current WFMP to function for firefighting access, such as staging for backburning, or as a component of a fuelbreak system. A reevaluation of road standards and maintenance, best practice avoidance and minimization measures for impacts, and NEPA compliance is needed.
As vegetation recovery occurs, the acreages of certain habitats important to listed species may expand into previously unused areas. The updated WFMP should quantify habitat take in terms of a percentage of habitat instead of a fixed number of acres. Reward better natural resource conditions.
The current Fire Plan is in need of a revision…
![Page 48: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The best means of installing fuelbreaks with retardant needs cost-benefit analysis.
The ideal time to install fuel retardant needs review. Based on conditions of previous years, installation is preferred between 5/1-5/21. Precautions are necessary because the retardant becomes ineffective after about one inch of rain. Fuelbreak installation should occur before or after fire season is declared, as long as conditions at the time of installation are acceptable.
Reporting procedures need to be revisited. Adaptive management has been hampered by inadequate post-fire reporting. Declaring fire season start/end. FDRS announcements.
The revised WFMP should prioritize buildings to be saved in case of a fire. Salty Crab. Arizone cages.
There has been an increase in canyon fires since the WFMP was written.
The current Fire Plan is in need of a revision…
![Page 49: Wildland Fire Management Plan Update December 10, 2012 U.S. Naval Base Coronado San Clemente Island.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e625503460f94b5d94c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The Fire Danger Rating System should be updated. Adjustments are needed in how the FDRS is implemented. Adjust by island zones. Incorporation of 10-hour fuels.
The placement of Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) needs to be reviewed, and the protocols for recording data and applying it to fire danger prediction.
The Blow-In-Place method of removing UXO has been known to spark fires and should be evaluated for reducing this potential.
The current Fire Plan is in need of a revision…
