== | === Investigation === | ||
The Cedar Fire was started by Sergio Martinez of [[West Covina, California]], a novice hunter who had been hunting in the area and had become lost. In court Martinez gave an account of his being lost earlier that day from his hunting partner; he said he did not call out for "fear of scaring away deer". At first he falsely told investigators that the fire was started accidentally by a gunshot, but he later recanted and admitted he started the fire intentionally to signal rescuers. After gathering sticks and brush together, Martinez lit the brush and quickly lost containment because of the heat, low humidity and low moisture content of surrounding vegetation. | |||
Martinez was charged on October 7, 2004 in federal court with setting the fire and lying about it.<ref name=nctimes1>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071031020042/http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2004/10/07/news/top_stories/22_24_2910_6_04.txt Marshall, Scott and Gig Conaughton, "Hunter charged with starting Cedar fire", ''North County Times.com'', October 6, 2004.

Although Sergio Martinez was directly responsible for the deaths of fifteen people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in economic and building losses, under a plea bargain, Martinez was only sentenced to six months in minimum-security confinement, which outraged many in San Diego County. He was allowed to go work and complete other commitments. He also was ordered to complete 960 hours of community service and five years' probation, and to pay $9,000 in restitution.<ref name=nctimes2>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071031015956/http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/11/18/news/top_stories/20_24_4711_17_05.txt Figueroa, Teri.

== | ==Response criticism== | ||
===Outdated policies=== | |||
There were a number of controversies associated with the Cedar Fire resulting in investigations lasting several years. A report, ''2003 San Diego County Fire Siege Fire Safety Review''<ref name=review>[http://web.archive.org/web/20090513163213/http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/cleveland/documents/documents/sandiegocountyfinal.pdf ''2003 San Diego County Fire Siege Fire Safety Review'']</ref> prepared in the wake of the fire and presented to the Governor's Blue Ribbon Fire Commission, criticized the overall response. The report stated that though the fire conditions and severity should have been expected, the responsible agencies were not properly prepared when the fire broke out, and radio communications problems exacerbated the problem. The report stated that "Disorganization, inconsistent or outdated policies among agencies that grounded aircraft or caused other problems, and planning or logistics in disarray also marked the preliminary stages of the difficult, dangerous firefighting."<ref name=nctimes3>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071031020016/http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2004/03/04/news/top_stories/3_3_0414_21_16.txt "Firestorm report critical of policies, logistics", ''NC Times'', March 3, 2004, retrieved August 30, 2007]</ref> | |||

===Forest Service issues=== | |||
The turning away of the Sheriff's helicopters by the Forest Service in the fire's early stages came under severe criticism by the public, media and elected officials, believing that an opportunity to prevent the fire from becoming out of control had been lost. The federal government has an aviation assets "cutoff" policy which stated that "aircraft (planes or helicopters) may not be dispatched so as to arrive at an incident no later than 30 minutes before sunset".<ref name=nctimes4/><ref name=nctimes1/><ref name=review/><ref name=redbook17>{{cite web |url=http://www.nifc.gov/red_book/2007/Chapter17.pdf |title=Interagency Standards for Fire and Aviation Operations 2007, Chapter 17 |accessdate=2007-08-31 |year=2007|format=PDF |publisher=National Interagency Fire Center |page=10 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070928013524/http://www.nifc.gov/red_book/2007/Chapter17.pdf <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-09-28}}</ref> The pilot later claimed he could have made multiple water drops in the time he had before darkness.<ref name=nctimes4/> However, a study performed by the [[United States Forest Service]] concluded that even if the helicopter had been able to drop multiple loads of water with direct hits on the flames, the impact on the fire would have been minimal.<ref name=nctimes4/> | |||
= | Cutoff also prevented two air tankers and a helicopter stationed at [[Ramona Airport]] from being dispatched to the fire, although the tankers likely could not have been used anyway as the pilots had just spent seven hours fighting another fire, and FAA regulations stipulated that they could not continue to fly.<ref name="Ramona air tankers">[http://www.californiachaparral.com/btalkradio.html Roger Hedgecock and the Cedar fire] - The [[California Chaparral Institute]] - including a San Diego Union-Tribune article from April 6, 2006 and comments from the following day's San Diego AM [[Roger Hedgecock]] show - Obtained August 31, 2007.</ref> | ||
===California Department of Forestry issues=== | |||
A contributing factor to the initial lack of aviation resources to fight the fire was the [[California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection|California Department of Forestry]] "no divert" policy, which allows incident commanders to dedicate certain resources to a particular fire; the policy applied to both airborne aircraft as well as those on the ground awaiting dispatch. At the time that the Cedar Fire started, there were already 11 other fires burning in the region. Aviation resources in the area were currently being held on the ground under a "no divert" declaration, in order to be available for structures' protection on another fire. However, weather and visibility at the other fire was precluding their use, so the aircraft sat idle despite the fact that the conditions were acceptable for their use on the Cedar Fire.<ref name=review/> | |||
= | Both the media and area elected officials were also critical of the lack of use of military aviation assets which were located nearby at [[Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton|Camp Pendleton]] and [[Marine Corps Air Station Miramar|Miramar]]. The [[U.S. Marine Corps]] operates [[CH-46 Sea Knight]] and [[CH-53 Sea Stallion]] helicopters that can carry water-dropping buckets, but existing policies prohibited their use until all other civilian resources were used. Additionally, the military aircraft radios were not compatible with those used by most state and local fire agencies, and the military pilots had not received any training in fire-specific operations, making them a potential safety hazard both to firefighters on the ground and other aircraft over the fire.<ref name=review/> | ||

The Cedar Fire was a wildfire which burned through a large area of San Diego County, in Southern California in October 2003. The Cedar Fire was one of 15 wildfires throughout Southern California that month, which became known as the "2003 Firestorm" and the "Fire Siege of 2003."[1] It was the largest wildfire in California history, with the possible exception of the Santiago Canyon Fire of 1889.
Size
Driven by Santa Ana Winds, the Cedar Fire burned Template:Convert 2,820 buildings (including 2,232 homes) and killed 15 people including one firefighter before being contained on November 3, making it the largest fire in recorded California history.[2][3])
Fire chronology
The Cedar Fire began in the Cleveland National Forest and was reported at 5:37 p.m. PDT on October 25, 2003 south of Ramona in central San Diego County. Within ten minutes of the initial report of the fire, the U.S. Forest Service had deployed 10 fire engines, two water tenders, two hand crews and two chief officers. Within 30 minutes, 320 firefighters and six fire chiefs were en route.[4] A San Diego County Sheriff's Department ASTREA helicopter that was rescuing a hunter spotted the fire at about the same time as the first phone report was received and called for an air response. Another Sheriff's helicopter equipped with a Bambi bucket was dispatched to drop water on the fire. When the helicopter was only minutes away from the fire, a Forest Service fire chief cancelled the water drop because policy cut-off aerial firefighting 30 minutes before sunset.[4]
Between the time the fire started and midnight the predicted strong easterly (Santa Ana) winds surfaced and the fire burned approximately 5,319 acres.[5] By 3:00 AM, Template:Convert had burned.[6] Overnight, the fast-moving fire killed 12 people living in Wildcat Canyon and Muth Valley in the northern part of Lakeside, who had little or no warning that the fire was approaching. The fire destroyed 39 homes on the Barona Indian Reservation.[7] In only a few hours, the Cedar Fire pushed southwest over Template:Convert and burned over Template:Convert at an average rate of Template:Convert per hour; it crossed several large highways including I-15. By noon on October 26, the fire was burning hundreds of homes in the Scripps Ranch community of San Diego, and was threatening many others.
On October 26, the fire forged into Alpine, Harbison Canyon and Crest, burning hundreds more homes in areas that had been devastated by the Laguna Fire 33 years earlier. By October 28, the strong easterly Santa Ana winds died down and the fire turned east consuming another Template:Convert. The entire community of Cuyamaca, most of nearby Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and more than 500 homes surrounding the town of Julian were destroyed.[8]
On October 29, a fire company who were attempting to defend a house in the Riverwood Estates near Santa Ysabel became entrapped and overrun by the fire. One firefighter died. Another firefighter sustained severe injuries, and two firefighters were hurt.[9]
The fire forced the evacuation of the main air traffic control facility for arriving and departing aircraft in the San Diego and Los Angeles areas, shutting down all commercial and general aviation in the region and disrupting air traffic across the United States.
Firefighters achieved full containment on November 3 and complete control on December 5.[2]
Aftermath
In the wake of the 2003 firestorm, including the Cedar Fire, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard to assist in the disaster relief process. President George W. Bush declared Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties major disaster areas.[10]
San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium was used as an evacuation site, forcing the NFL to move the Monday Night Football game on October 27 between the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.[11]
Investigation
The Cedar Fire was started by Sergio Martinez of West Covina, California, a novice hunter who had been hunting in the area and had become lost. In court Martinez gave an account of his being lost earlier that day from his hunting partner; he said he did not call out for "fear of scaring away deer". At first he falsely told investigators that the fire was started accidentally by a gunshot, but he later recanted and admitted he started the fire intentionally to signal rescuers. After gathering sticks and brush together, Martinez lit the brush and quickly lost containment because of the heat, low humidity and low moisture content of surrounding vegetation.
Martinez was charged on October 7, 2004 in federal court with setting the fire and lying about it.[12] On March 10, 2005, Martinez pleaded guilty to deliberately setting fire to timber, in a plea bargain under which the charge of lying to a federal officer was dropped. Although Sergio Martinez was directly responsible for the deaths of fifteen people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in economic and building losses, under a plea bargain, Martinez was only sentenced to six months in minimum-security confinement, which outraged many in San Diego County. He was allowed to go work and complete other commitments. He also was ordered to complete 960 hours of community service and five years' probation, and to pay $9,000 in restitution.[13]
Response criticism
Outdated policies
There were a number of controversies associated with the Cedar Fire resulting in investigations lasting several years. A report, 2003 San Diego County Fire Siege Fire Safety Review[14] prepared in the wake of the fire and presented to the Governor's Blue Ribbon Fire Commission, criticized the overall response. The report stated that though the fire conditions and severity should have been expected, the responsible agencies were not properly prepared when the fire broke out, and radio communications problems exacerbated the problem. The report stated that "Disorganization, inconsistent or outdated policies among agencies that grounded aircraft or caused other problems, and planning or logistics in disarray also marked the preliminary stages of the difficult, dangerous firefighting."[15]
Resources to relieve the initial attack crews did not appear on the fire scene until around 5:00 a.m. PDT on Monday 27 October, since they had to be dispatched from Northern California, which was depleted in its own right, and some were delayed on their way by other fires in the northern region.Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble. Was especially enthused after visiting Alejandro de Humboldt National Park.
Forest Service issues
The turning away of the Sheriff's helicopters by the Forest Service in the fire's early stages came under severe criticism by the public, media and elected officials, believing that an opportunity to prevent the fire from becoming out of control had been lost. The federal government has an aviation assets "cutoff" policy which stated that "aircraft (planes or helicopters) may not be dispatched so as to arrive at an incident no later than 30 minutes before sunset".[4][12][14][16] The pilot later claimed he could have made multiple water drops in the time he had before darkness.[4] However, a study performed by the United States Forest Service concluded that even if the helicopter had been able to drop multiple loads of water with direct hits on the flames, the impact on the fire would have been minimal.[4]
Cutoff also prevented two air tankers and a helicopter stationed at Ramona Airport from being dispatched to the fire, although the tankers likely could not have been used anyway as the pilots had just spent seven hours fighting another fire, and FAA regulations stipulated that they could not continue to fly.[17]
California Department of Forestry issues
A contributing factor to the initial lack of aviation resources to fight the fire was the California Department of Forestry "no divert" policy, which allows incident commanders to dedicate certain resources to a particular fire; the policy applied to both airborne aircraft as well as those on the ground awaiting dispatch. At the time that the Cedar Fire started, there were already 11 other fires burning in the region. Aviation resources in the area were currently being held on the ground under a "no divert" declaration, in order to be available for structures' protection on another fire. However, weather and visibility at the other fire was precluding their use, so the aircraft sat idle despite the fact that the conditions were acceptable for their use on the Cedar Fire.[14]
Both the media and area elected officials were also critical of the lack of use of military aviation assets which were located nearby at Camp Pendleton and Miramar. The U.S. Marine Corps operates CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters that can carry water-dropping buckets, but existing policies prohibited their use until all other civilian resources were used. Additionally, the military aircraft radios were not compatible with those used by most state and local fire agencies, and the military pilots had not received any training in fire-specific operations, making them a potential safety hazard both to firefighters on the ground and other aircraft over the fire.[14]
