5. ADDITIONAL FIRE PLAN REQUIREMENTS:

A. Red Flag Warnings: If a Red Flag Warning is issued (despite the Fire Danger Level), ALL construction work will cease until the RED FLAG warning is canceled, and the Forest Service approves a resumption of the project.

A Red Flag event is a critical combination of dry fuels and weather conditions that support extreme fire behavior. Red Flag Warnings are issued to identify Red Flag events which are highly likely, or imminent, usually within the following 12-48 hour period. Fire Weather Watches are issued to identify the elevated threat of similar conditions during the following 18-96 hour period.

In the absence of overriding input from fire management personnel, a Red Flag event is defined by the following conditions occurring simultaneously for three or more hours across any portion of a fire weather zone:

1) 20-foot winds sustained 20 mph or greater, or gusting to 35 mph or greater 2) Relative humidity of 15% or lower 3) NFDRS adjective fire danger rating of “High” or higher

B. Fire weather and activity: Project may be SHUT DOWN by the Forest Service at any time due to changes in weather conditions, active fire in the area, if the local Ranger District gets into a Drawdown condition, and/or any violations of any project requirements. Permission to resume work can only be issued by the Forest Service and shall be in writing.

C. Brush Clearance: (1) Helicopter Landing Zones shall be cleared to a minimum 3 inch depth of all fuel with a 5 foot fuel

break to mineral soil around the edge of the area. (2) Drill sites shall have a minimum 10’ clearance beyond all working operations to 1” or less stubs and

all light fuels removed including grass, needles, duff, leaves, etc. (3) Any other sites with operating internal combustion engines shall be cleared of flammable vegetation

for a slope distance of at least 10’ from such engine.

D. Handheld mechanized equipment: Equipment including chainsaws, weedeaters, or other handheld tools operated by an internal combustion engine shall operate only under the appropriate Fire Danger Levels, require a shovel, fire extinguisher, and five-gallon backpack pump to be within 25 feet of the chainsaw.

E. Welding, Cutting or Grinding: (1) Written permission from the District Ranger or authorized representative (2) A minimum 10’ radius cleared area to mineral soil, the use of a welding tent during operations, and

the surrounding area within 25’ in all directions be wet down prior to and after the welding operation with a .3% Class A Foam solution.

(3) A charged hose from a Water Truck or tank (as described in Section 3 of the Fire Plan) and a capable operator to be within 50’ of each project area. If project is more than 200’ from Water source, the hose must be capable of reaching 100’ beyond the project site.

(4) See Attachment 1, Metal Cutting, Welding, or grinding for more specifics.

F. Heavy Equipment: Equipment including use of drill rigs, dozers, or other heavy equipment must operate under the appropriate Fire Danger Rating Level and must have a 300-gallon Water Truck or tank in the immediate vicinity of the project and an operator capable of taking suppression action if necessary.

G. Rotary Head Equipment: Equipment including mowers, flail machinery, brush hogs, masticators or other rotary head equipment

(2) A Fire Patrol person is to follow 10-15 minutes behind the brushing operations with a required minimum two (2) filled 5-gallon backpack pump and shovel to check for any late fire ignitions.

(3) Both the Water Truck or Trailer and Fire Patrol person are to patrol the area until sunset local time. (4) No operations after 1:00 p.m. during Fire Danger Rating of High. No operations will occur at all on

Very High or Extreme days

H. Road Access: Forest Service roads shall remain open and passable within 5 minutes for emergency vehicles.

I. Fire Restrictions: At any time the Coronado National Forest enters into fire restrictions, the limitations outlined in the forest order shall apply to all operations. Exemptions as allowed under the order may be requested. Exemptions will be granted at the discretion of the District Ranger or Forest Service Representative and will be issued in writing.

6 FIRE SUPPRESSION COSTS

The USDA Forest Service reserves the right to participate in extinguishing any fires caused by the permitee’s operations. Permittee’s obligations for cost of fire suppression, and all suppression activities ordered or directed by the Forest Service, vary according to three classifications of fires as follow below:

A. Operations Fire. An “Operations Fire” is a fire caused by Contractor’s operations other than a Negligent Fire, when all requirements of this industrial fire safety plan have been met and consistently maintained by the Contractor. The Government (Forest Service) shall perform fire suppression activities on Operations Fires, under the authorities of 16 USC 572. Contractor agrees to reimburse the Forest Service for expenses incurred by the Forest Service for the cost of an operations fire to a maximum of $10,000 dollars for each occurrence.

B. Negligent Fire. A “Negligent Fire” is a fire caused by negligence or fault of the Contractor’s deficient

operations by failure to comply with all requirements of this industrial fire plan (i.e., “Fire Plan Negligence”), which results in a wildfire starting or permitting a controlled fire to spread out of control. Damages and the cost of suppressing Negligent Fires shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall also be responsible for full or partial costs and damages to any property of the USDA Forest Service or third parties caused by escaped fires resulting from Contractor’s negligence.

C. Other Fires in Immediate Area. This situation is covered under section 5.d. of this industrial fire

7. Fire Danger Rating Levels

Fire Danger Rating Levels are updated daily and posted to the Tucson Dispatch Center website at www.aztdc.us

Fire Danger Rating and Color Code

Description

Low (L) (Green)

Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands although a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or punky wood. Fires in open cured grasslands may burn freely a few hours after rain, but woods fires spread slowly by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting.

Moderate (M) (Blue)

Fires can start from most accidental causes but, with the exception of lightning fires in some areas, the number of starts is generally low. Fires in open cured grasslands will burn briskly and spread rapidly on windy days. Timber fires spread slowly to moderately fast. The average fire is of moderate intensity, although heavy concentrations of fuel, especially draped fuel, may burn hot. Short-distance spotting may occur, but is not persistent. Fires are not likely to become serious and control is relatively easy.

High (H) (Yellow)

All fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start easily from most causes. Unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short-distance spotting is common. High-intensity burning may develop on slopes or in concentrations of fine fuels. Fires may become serious and their control difficult unless they are attacked successfully while small.

Very High (VH) (Orange)

Fires start easily from all causes and, immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop high intensity characteristics such as long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds when they burn into heavier fuels.

Extreme (E) (Red)

Fires start quickly, spread rapidly, and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. Development into high intensity burning will usually be faster and occur from smaller fires than in the very high fire danger class. Direct attack is rarely possible and may be dangerous except immediately after ignition. Fires that develop headway in heavy slash or in conifer stands may be unmanageable while the extreme burning condition lasts. Under these conditions the only effective and safe control action is on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel supply lessens.
