<H2 align=center><SPAN class=style23>Wildfires and Their Aftermath:
Assessing the Station Fire<BR></SPAN></H2><IMG hspace=5 alt="Jody Noiron"
vspace=5 align=right src="Images/JodyNoiron-WEB.jpg" width=250>
<P class=style9>The Station Fire charred about one-fourth (250 square
miles) of the 655,000-acre Angeles National Forest, and was the largest
fire in Los Angeles County history. The arson fire burned for more than a
month, destroying 102 homes, cabins and other structures. Two fire
fighters also died when their vehicle went off a cliff.</P>
<P class=style9>Now, more damage could result from winter rains and
mudslides, further threatening lives and property in one of the most urban
national forests in the nation. And Southern California’s wildfire season
is just beginning.</P>
<P class=style9>Jody Noiron, Angeles National Forest Supervisor, will
discuss the aftermath of the devastating Station Fire, its effect on the
watershed ecosystems, and what homeowners living near wildfire areas can
do to help protect themselves at the<STRONG> Nov. 12</STRONG>
<STRONG>Randall Lewis Seminar Series. </STRONG>(Note: This is a week
earlier than the normal seminar schedule).</P>
<P class=style9>The seminar will begin at <STRONG>5:30 p.m. in Conference
Room B, UCR Extension Building, 1200 University Ave., Riverside</STRONG>
(See <A href="Images/Room B Map .pdf">MAP</A>). </P>
<P class=style9>Jody Noiron began her Forest Service career in 1983 as an
Engineer on the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia. In addition to a
number of special assignments to Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Milwaukee,
she served as Technical Services Team Leader on the Ottawa National Forest
in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from 1989 to 1994.</P></DIV></TD>
