  Paul Broyles, the National Park Service's fire operation program leader and head of one of the 17 national incident command fire teams, heard the same thing in 2006 in Nevada.This year, he offered ranchers training to ensure they were safe and could work with the firefighters to protect the range.Outfitters and land managers could develop a similar system."They're going to need to be trained up to a minimum standard to protect themselves and their clients," Broyles said.Firefighters adjustFirefighters, meanwhile, are trying to increase their own safety and reduce costs of fighting fires.

  So the fires had to be prioritized, said Paul Broyles, the National Park Service's fire operation program leader and head of one of the 17 national incident command fire teams."You had more fires and more starts than you have resources to deal with," Broyles said.Protecting lives is the top priority.

  Across the Great Basin from Utah through Nevada and Idaho, more than 2 million acres of rangeland has burned this year due to historic heat and dry conditions, said Broyles, who was leading a fire team just south of the Murphy Complex at the time it started.Boatner, who has fought fires for 31 years, said he has seen a major change in Western ecosystems.Cheatgrass is replacing native bunch grasses and sagebrush, so the rangeland burns hotter and more often.Forests, thick with smaller trees and undergrowth from more than half a century of successful fire suppression, now carry flames up into the crowns of ponderosa pines like ladders.He also has seen a climate change or, as he puts it, a shift, depending on whether you believe in global warming or not."As a firefighter, I'm not interested in the cause but what it means on the ground," he said.

  Firefighters were working to ensure fire does not move toward Burgdorf on the west side of the fire and ranches along the South Fork of the Salmon River on the east side, Broyles said.
