Barry Point Fire
The Barry Point Fire was a wildfire that burned over of Oregon and California forest land during the summer of 2012. The fire began on 5 August 2012, the result of a lightning strike. The fire consumed public forest and rangeland as well as private forest and grazing land located in Lake County, Oregon and Modoc County, California. The public lands effected by the fire are administered by the United States Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Forestry. The largest part of the private land was owned by the Collins Timber Company. At the peak of the firefighting effort, there were 1,423 personnel working on the fire. It took 22 days to fully contain the fire and then an additional three weeks to mop it up.
== Origin ==
On 5 August 2012, a thunderstorm passed over southern Oregon and northern California. The storm produced a number of lightning strikes in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Unfortunately, the storm did not delivery any rain with the lightning. The next morning, a local lookout reported a fire in the Barry Point area, approximately west of Lakeview, Oregon. The Forest Service named it the Barry Point Fire.〔(''Barry Point Fire Review Fremont-Winema and Modoc National Forests'' ), United States Department of Agriculture, United states Forest Service, Washington, District of Columbia, May 2013, pp. 7-9.〕〔("Incident History" ), ''Barry Point Fire Retrospectives and Lessons Learned'', United States Department of Agriculture, United states Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, Fremont–Winema National Forest, Lakeview, Oregon, 3 May 2013, pp. 4-7.〕〔("Executive Summary" ), Appendix F, ''Barry Point Fire Retrospectives and Lessons Learned'', United States Department of Agriculture, United states Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, Portland, Oregon, 9 January 2013, p. iv.〕〔("Incident Status Summary" ), ''Incident Command System'', Incident Management Team, United States Forest Service, Fremont–Winema National Forest, Lakeview, Oregon, 7 August 2012.〕
A combination of hot dry weather and gusty winds had created dangerous fire conditions in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Around Barry Point, the fire conditions were exacerbated by heavy forest ground cover and the general inaccessibility of the area. By mid-morning these conditions had produced a high intensity fire with large trees torching off in rapid succession and numerous spot fires spreading the blaze rapidly. The prevailing winds initially drove the fire toward the northeast. However, the wind then shifted unexpectedly, pushing the fire southward. Firefighters battled the blaze for over three weeks as it consumed large tracts of public forest and rangeland along with private forest and ranch grazing lands.〔〔
