Watch online meeting about post-wildfire impacts of Twenty-Five Mile Fire

Seven federal, state and local agencies recently held an online community meeting to discuss the findings of a federal report that assesses the damage caused by this summer's Twenty-Five Mile Fire.

If you missed it, a recording of the meeting is available on the Cascadia Conservation District website

First reported on Aug. 15, the Twenty-Five Mile Fire burned more than 22,200 acres. The fire’s cause remains under investigation.

In September, the U.S. Forest Service assembled a Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team to assess the damage caused by the fire to the landscape, including soils impacted by the fire. BAER assessments measure post-fire conditions and determine the potential for increased flooding, debris flows and rock slides.

The BAER report estimates a moderate to high level of debris-flow hazards for most of the area burned by the local fire. The report, which includes a map showing the debris flow risks and runoff potentials, is also available online.

Those agencies that had representatives speak at the meeting were: U.S. Forest Service, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cascadia Conservation District, NOAA National Weather Service, Chelan County Public Works and Chelan County Emergency Management.
