Fires and harvest

[400out]

No fires of any sort including woodstove in the entire Wenatchee NF. effective 9-21. alert order no: 789.

Gov. Greg sent out a email on friday, all our jobs that include any form of fire or getting off the road have been haulted until further notice!

They do occasionally get caught in fires but it is really rare.  I have done a lot of post-fire vegetation assessments for big game forage, and have only ever found one big game animal that perished - a buck deer after the Deer Point fire on the north shore of Lake Chelan.

Interesting. I have often wondered about this.

I was at my cabin in the Naneum just below the fireline last night clearing out quads and snowmobiles.  Smoke was heavy but they seem to be holding the line.  I did check my cameras and the last few days was a parade of deer, elk and turkeys heading downhill.  They are pretty smart.  The turkeys is the one that shocked me, they normally don't get down to me until late October early November so I am sure the fire is what is pushing them.  The deer and elk are normal but the increased number and consistent direction past the camera tell me they are moving because of the fire.

THanks for sharing your observation.  HOPE your cabin stays safe.  I am glad they let you in to get your stuff

Fast moving June wildfires are very rare, but when one occurs I can definitely see fawns or calves getting burned over
