Summary

Description

In August the Castle Rock fire surrounding the mountain resort town of Ketchum, Idaho, burned over 48,000 acres. After the fire was contained the threat of flash flooding and debris flows took center stage. Sherrie Hebert, Pocatello WFO Service Hydrologist, joined a Burn Area Emergency Response Team to assess the flash flood and debris flow potential in the burn area. The crew spent two days primarily conducting water repellency tests, collecting GPS data and taking photographs of the more intensely burned areas. The following days were flash flood and debris flow risks, which were then presented to various agencies and concerned citizens. Remarkably, the Sun Valley ski area, in the background, and all structures were spared from the fire.

Pictured are Sherrie Hebert and Kim Pierson, Sawtooth National Forest Botanist.
