Containment does not mean the fire is "out." It means the fire is encircled by a fireline and is "cold" within a specified distance, in this case, 200 feet, from the perimeter. When fire managers feel reasonably comfortable that the fire will not escape the perimeter, the fire is considered controlled. Some smoldering may be expected until significant moisture is received.Dust devils, which are swirling masses of dust and ash, are a common phenomenon in burn areas until surface ash has subsided and are often confused as smoke plumes. Firefighters will continue to..."]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jul 2007 20:36:00 -06:00</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA["Hawken Fire Update 07/20/2007 (Hawken Wildland Fire)"]]></title><link>http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/830/4301/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/830/4301/</guid><description><![CDATA["Hawken Fire UpdateRocky Mountain Incident Management Team- Kim Martin IC Fire Information (775) 746-4668Hours of operation: 7:00 am - 9:30 pmInformation is also available at: http://www.sierrafront.net/ and http://www.inciweb.org  Saturday, July 21, 2007 9:00 a.m. While many wildfires cause minimal damage to the land and pose few threats to residents downstream, some fires cause damage that require special efforts to prevent problems afterwards. Loss of vegetation exposes soil to erosion, water runoff may increase and cause flooding, sediments many move downstream and damage houses or fill reservoirs, and put endangered species and community water supplies at risk. The Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program is designed to address these situations. The BAER program addresses the key goals of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems.A BAER Team has been assembled and will begin to review the Hawken Fire starting Monday.
