Tall Grass (2.5 feet) 

Brush (2 feet) 

Timber (Litter and Understory) 

Narrative: The fire environment's predominant fuels consist of low load, dry climate grass (Dynamic) (GR2), low load timber-shrub (SH4), very high load, dry climate shrub (SH7), high load dry climate timber-shrub (TU5), and dry climate timber-grass-shrub (TU1). 

Above average amounts of dead fuels from decadent gambel oak and pinion/juniper are very dry. Moisture content is averaging below 6% for dead fuel, adding to the intensity of fire behavior. Higher elevation aspen and spruce/fir will see a reduced rate of spread due to live fuel moistures in the grass and shrubs being higher. Fire is still expected to move, but suppression efforts should have a higher potential for success. Mature, drought-stressed Gambel oak and PJ stands with tight crown spacing are available. Live fuels moisture content has been calculated between 70-110%, exceeding critical thresholds and indicating good probability for extreme fire behavior. Sagebrush is also available and contributing to fire spread. Seasonal herbaceous fuels are at the end of growth cycle, drying out, and are available.
