Fire behavior, fuel treatments, and fire suppression on the Hayman Fire - Part 5: Fire suppression activities

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to document the suppression actions taken during the Hayman Fire. The long duration of suppression activities (June 8 through July 18), and multiple incident management teams assigned to the fire, makes this a challenging task. Original records and reports produced independently by the various teams assigned to different portions of the Hayman Fire had different reference locations and time frames. Nevertheless, this report reviews the success of those crews in achieving their planned tactics but did not attempt to equate this performance to their overall effectiveness on suppressing the fire or in producing changes in fire growth and behavior.
