Cascade Complex Wildfire: Video Clip
Extreme Fire Behavior
This video clip, recorded by Alex Parks of Paul Broyles' Type I Great Basin Incident Management Team, shows the scene as the North Fork fire reached the Incident Command Post. No injuries were reported, but one yurt and 5 firefighter tents were destroyed. As you watch the video, look for fire whirls that form in the intense flare-up at the forest edge. You should also note the strong gusty winds and intermittent 'rains' of burning embers that fall on the camp.
