Hot, dry weather has activated smoldering stumps and logs in the interior of the Woodward Fire, sending pillars of smoke into the blue sky and prompting 911 calls over the past week. But the continued burning, two months after the 4,929-acre fire ignited in the wilderness of the Point Reyes National Seashore, remains hundreds of yards from any structures and does not pose a threat to control efforts. “Every once in a while, there may be an area that throws a few embers, but they’re far enough in that we don’t anticipate those embers going beyond containment lines,” said Greg Jones, the fire management officer for the Point Reyes National Seashore. When a lookout camera or a citizen spots smoke, Mr. Jones confirms that the flareup is in the interior and readies an emergency response if it’s anywhere near the edge. Most of the time, the fire is allowed to burn, except when flames create an unsettling amount of smoke, like on Monday, when crews hiked 100 yards in from Limantour Road to fell and extinguish a tree burning at its top. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for five days in the last week, forecasting dry winds; the fire won’t be fully extinguished until the wilderness is soaked by rains. About 40 firefighters from across the West Coast are still dedicated to the blaze, focused on repairing damage from suppression efforts, such as a wide dozer line created on the northern edge of the burn zone and a contingency line dug on the Vedanta Retreat. Crews are using excavators, dump trucks and skid-steer loaders to push berms of dirt back onto those stretches of barren land. The ground will be allowed to revegetate naturally, except in select areas where the park service is considering reseeding with local plants. About three weeks of suppression repair lie ahead. Mr. Jones said the goal is to finish the work before the first storm, during which the park will monitor culverts and creeks for flooding. Fortunately, a burned area response team found that drainages should be able to hold up, based on weather modeling. The team found that just 9 percent of the fire burned with high intensity. Parkland north of Stewart Trail, west of Bear Valley Trail and south of Limantour Road will likely remain closed through the winter, because branches continue to break, trails are crossed with trees, and some areas have not been assessed. Besides clearing trees, crews will also repair and replace retaining walls and erosion control materials. The park service and Marin County Fire are overseeing the fire, after three incident management teams, from Montana, Nevada then Yosemite, took responsibility for it until it was 100 percent contained on Oct. 1.
