Examples
of post-fire damage and Rehab efforts that mitigate that damage
Buckskin Wash, in the middle of the
Heber-Overgaard, Arizona community. This “dry” wash
is seeing the first run-off from watersheds within the Rodeo-Chediski
Fire as the Southwest monsoon rains began to arrive before emergency
rehabilitation work was completed. The black gooey runoff is
covering a street and measures 50 feet wide and 6-10 feet deep.
Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona.
Rehabilitation work in an area burned
by the Rodeo-Chediski Fire. Volunteers completed the work by
spreading straw to protect grass seed aimed at reducing erosion

180 acres of seeded area with in a four-hour period. Rehabilitation
work mitigates the environmental degradation caused by heavy
rains. Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona.
