Hello World,
a picture from #BootlegFire #Oregon
The little bear tries to get to safety... but that won't help against the fire.
A part of the world is sinking into water, a part is burning...

“This fire has exhibited some of the most extreme fire behavior I have experienced in my career. However, the areas where we have done thinning and/or burning treatments drastically reduced the fire behavior,” reports TNC Fire Manager Katie Sauerbrey from the #bootlegfire

Remember the #BootlegFire (3rd largest since 1900 in Oregon at > 413,000 acres)? Well here's a little taste of what #beaver-induced #ResilienceToFire looked like. Thank you Charlie Erdman from . Not just anomalies. Got your own examples? Share!

Great job @awhager and @EmilyFairfax for getting this compelling story out there! One #SilverLining of all these fires, is we are seeing so many examples that the role of #BeaverDamActivity in mitigating impacts of fires is not just a fluke. As this old tired slide suggests... twitter.com/EmilyFairfax/s…

Monrovia Fire & Rescue firefighters spent 5 days in Ashland, Oregon, to assist with the #BootlegFire before being reassigned to the #DixieFire on July 20.
Our firefighters join nearly 50 personnel from the SGV who are aiding in firefighting efforts in Plumas County.

We are grateful to our Oregon Fire Manager Katie Sauerbrey, the entire TNC crew and our partners for working around the clock to help contain the #bootlegfire. Proactive measures and team work helped save Jim Castles Applied Research Station on Sycan Marsh Preserve.

Some new life found in the ashes of the #BootlegFire: a serotinous cone, which only releases its seeds after exposure to heat. ❤️🌱 photo: Mina Bolton
The Bootleg Fire is now 100% contained. Thank you to our interagency fire personnel who made this possible! #FireYear2021

More #BootlegFire maps. We often hear that roads help stop fires. There are enough miles of road in the fire perimeter to stretch from OR to Mexico and back again! Large weather (climate) driven fires behave differently from smaller ground fires that are more easily controlled.

Heard while touring #BootlegFire. "This fire season felt like losing a loved one with no opportunity to grieve." Thinning followed by Rx fire kept green on this landscape. More than ever, forest managers need the funding and tools in #BuildBackBetterAct and #InfrasructureBill.

Tonight’s blood orange waxing gibbous #moon as seen from #CentralPark in #NewYork. Caused by high altitude smoke from the #BootlegFire on the other side of the country and a reminder that #ClimateChange connects all of us. #lunar #lunarphotography #wildfire #WildfireSmoke

Our wildland fire team checked in yesterday as they continue to work at the #BootlegFire in OR. They have been doing structure triage and prep. As you can see in some of the photos below, a foil-type wrap is used to help protect structures from radiant heat and burning embers.
