That’ll put it into 19 year old burn from the 2002 Tiller/Apple Complex. I think those fires went thru at least 7 Type 1 Teams. The ICP had its own zip code by the time it was over.
The 2002 Tiller Complex had dozens of large fires. Simultaneously, the Biscuit Fire was chewing on 500,000 acres to the West. Fires on the Westside of the Cascades in big 1st and 2nd growth timber are a different kind of animal from ones burning tree farm lands on their 4th or 5th rotation.
They are driven more by heat than anything, and take a huge amount of work and resources to corral and mop up. We can’t put them all out. And the fires did a whole lot of good.
