2005 Riverside Unit Pre-Fire Management Plan 35
Vegetative Wildfire Fuels 2005 Riverside Unit Pre-Fire Management Plan Wildland fuels (live and dead vegetation) are a key component of fire behavior. The various fuels found in California have specific characteristics, which allow fire behavior analysts to categorize them based on how they burn. The Fire Behavior Prediction System (FBPS) was the method chosen for categorizing fuels for the fire plan process. This method classifies fuels into 13 different fuel models, each of which has specific physical and burning characteristics. The models include 3 grass, 4 brush, 3 timber and 3 slash fuel types. Custom fuel models have also been developed from these basic models to take into account the variations found in desert areas and wildland areas with an urban component. The fuel models are used to label current and historic fuels. Historic fuels, those fuels that existed prior to a significant wildfire or VMP burn, are important because they tell us what the climax vegetation and fuel type will be for a particular area. The historic fuel models are used to label the Unit’s planning belts in the fire plan. Current fuel models are used along with slope class, ladder fuel component, crown closure, and difficulty of control rating to derive the fuel hazard rank for each quad 81st. It has been determined that in California no wildland fuel can be considered to have a low hazard rating, so the adjective descriptions only include medium, high or very high. In Riverside County, as well as San Bernardino and San Diego, we have seen dramatic and historic changes in our montane chaparral and timber fuel types in just the last year. The record-breaking drought has killed huge stands of timber and brush over tens of thousands of acres in our mountains. It has become the number one fuel problem for our County. Mortality mapping is constantly being updated cooperatively through the MAST using GIS technology. Battalion 1 – Perris Generally Battalion 1 consists of a light grass in the populated areas on the west and east sides of the Battalion. The medium fuels are in some of the same areas, but in the more sparsely populated areas, such as Santa Rosa Mine Road and Juniper Flats. Battalion 2 – Lake Elsinore The Battalion 2 area primarily consists of light brush and heavy grass throughout the area. Due to the frequent fire history in the area, these areas are maintaining the light brush and heavy grasses. The Ortega front country, in the Trabuco Ranger District consists primarily of a medium to heavy brush, which is one of the more volatile areas of Riverside Unit.
