APPENDIX B
Wildfire Behavior Analysis Approach

Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative, Wildland Fire Protection Plan
FIRE BEHAVIOR MODEL COMPONENTS
For this Plan, an assessment of fire behavior has been carried out using various sources. The Utah and
Nevada portions of the service territory are covered by each state's Wildfire Risk Assessment Portals
(WRAPs).For more information regarding the WRAPS, see https://wildfirerisk.utah.gov/and
https://nevadaresourcesandwildfireinfo.com/. Idaho,however,does not have a risk assessment portal.
Therefore,for that portion of the service territory,the analysis utilized well-established fire behavior
models: FARSITE,FlamMap,BehavePlus, and FireFamily Plus housed within the Interagency Fuel
Treatment Decision Support System(IFTDSS), as well as ArcGIS Desktop Spatial Analyst tools. Data
used in the Composite Risk/Hazard Assessment is largely obtained from LANDFIRE.
LANDFIRE
LANDFIRE is a national remote sensing project that provides land managers a data source for all inputs
needed for FARSITE,FlamMap, and other fire behavior models. The database is managed by the USFS
and the U.S. Department of the Interior and is widely used throughout the United States for land
management planning.More information can be obtained from http://www.landfire.gov.
FARSITE
FARSITE is a computer model based on Rothermel's spread equations (Rothermel 1983);the model also
incorporates crown fire models.FARSITE uses spatial data on fuels, canopy cover, crown bulk density,
canopy base height,canopy height, aspect, slope, elevation,wind, and weather to model fire behavior
across a landscape. In essence, FARSITE is a spatial and temporal fire behavior model. FARSITE is used
to generate fuel moisture and landscape files as inputs for FlamMap. Information on fire behavior models
can be obtained from http://www.fire.org.
FlamMap
Like FARSITE,FlamMap uses a spatial component for its inputs but only provides fire behavior
predictions for a single set of weather inputs. In essence,FlamMap gives fire behavior predictions across
a landscape for a snapshot of time;however,FlamMap does not predict fire spread across the landscape.
FlamMap has been used for the HCCWPP to predict fire behavior across the landscape under extreme
(worst case)weather scenarios.
BehavePlus
Also using Rothermel's (1983)equations, BehavePlus is a multifaceted fire behavior model and has been
used to determine fuel moisture in this process.
FIRE BEHAVIOR MODEL INPUTS
Fuels
The fuels in the planning area are classified using Scott and Burgan's (2005) Standard Fire Behavior Fuel
Model classification system. This classification system is based on the Rothermel surface fire spread
equations, and each vegetation and litter type is broken down into 40 fuel models.
B-1

Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative, Wildland Fire Protection Plan
The general classification of fuels is by fire-carrying fuel type(Scott and Burgan 2005):
(NB)Non-burnable (TU)Timber-Understory
(GR) Grass (TL)Timber Litter
(GS) Grass-Shrub (SB) Slash-Blowdown
(SH) Shrub
The fuel composition across the service territory is described in Section 3.1.3 of the Plan and illustrated in
Figures A-7 through A-12.
Topography
Topography is important in determining fire behavior. Steepness of slope, aspect(direction the slope
faces),elevation, and landscape features can all affect fuels, local weather(by channeling winds and
affecting local temperatures), and rate of spread of wildfire. Topography throughout the RREC service
area varies widely,from flat to complex mountainous area. The topography across the service territory is
further described in Section 3.1.4 of the Plan.
Weather
Of the three fire behavior components,weather is the most likely to fluctuate. Fine fuels (grass and leaf
litter)can cure rapidly,making them highly flammable in as little as 1 hour following light precipitation.
Low live fuel moistures of shrubs and trees can significantly contribute to fire behavior in the form of
crowning and torching.With high wind, grass fires can spread rapidly, engulfing communities, often with
limited warning for evacuation.
One of the critical inputs for FlamMap is fuel moisture files.For this purpose,weather data have been
obtained from FAMWEB (National Wildfire Coordinating Group [NWCG] 2012),a fire weather database
maintained by the NWCG.A remote automated weather station is selected close to the focus area and data
downloaded from the website.
Using an additional fire program(FireFamily Plus)with the remote automated weather station data,
weather files that included prevailing wind direction and 20-foot wind speed were created.Fuel moisture
files were then developed for downed(1-hour, 10-hour, and 100-hour) and live herbaceous and live
woody fuels. These files represent weather inputs in FlamMap;95 to 100 percentile weather is used to
predict the most extreme scenarios for fire behavior.
The prevailing weather conditions across the service territory are described in Section 3.1.5 of the Plan.
FIRE BEHAVIOR MODEL OUTPUTS
The following is a discussion of the fire behavior outputs from FlamMap.While risk assessment data
were gathered from UWRAP and NRFIP for Utah and Nevada,respectively,FlamMap was used across
the service territory to model potential fire behavior around utility ROWS.
B-2

Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative, Wildland Fire Protection Plan
Flame Length
Figures A-13 through A-18 A illustrate the flame length classifications for the service territory.Flame
lengths are determined by fuels, weather, and topography. Flame length is a particularly important
component of the risk assessment because it determines suppression tactics. Direct attack by hand lines is
usually limited to flame lengths less than 4 feet. In excess of 4 feet,indirect suppression is the dominant
tactic. Suppression using engines and heavy equipment will move from direct to indirect with flame
lengths in excess of 8 feet.
Flame lengths across the planning area vary from 1 to 4 feet to greater than 25 feet,based on the fuel
model type. The highest flame lengths (greater than 11 feet) are associated with tall grasses and heavy
shrub and timber fuels, which make up only a small portion of the planning area.
Fireline Intensity
Figures A-19 through A-24 in Appendix A illustrate the predicted fireline intensity throughout the service
territory.Fireline intensity describes the rate of energy released by the flaming front and is measured in
British thermal units per foot per second(Btu/ft/sec).This is a good measure of intensity and is used for
planning suppression activities. The expected fireline intensity throughout the planning area is similar in
pattern to predicted flame length, as fireline intensity is a function of flame length. The pattern for fireline
intensity is similar to flame length in that intensities range from low(less than 100 Btu/ft/sec)or moderate
(100-500 Btu/ft/sec) to extreme intensity (greater than 1,000 Btu/ft/sec), which tend to be associated with
areas dominated by tall grass and heavy shrub loads.
Rate of Spread
Figures A-25 through A-30 in Appendix A illustrate the rate of spread classifications for the service
territory. The rates of spread are primarily in the moderate,high, and extreme categories.Low rates of
spread are typically associated with timber fuels, of which there are limited cover across the region.
The highest rates of spread are associated with tall grass and shrub fuels. Agricultural areas are clearly
delineated in this model by their low rate of spread;however,these fuel types can also pose a severe
hazard during certain times of the year(prior to harvest or following harvest when residual materials
remain) and are often areas of ignition through human activity such as agricultural burning practices.
Crown Fire Potential
Figures A-31 through A-36 illustrate the lack of passive or active crown fire across much of the service
territory, with most fuels predicted to burn through surface fire only. The Idaho territory has the greatest
area of active and passive crown fire, often at distance from the ROW.
The fire occurrence maps are used to provide information on areas where human-ignited fires are
prevalent and hence could be more prone to fire in the future.
COMPOSITE RISK/HAZARD ASSESSMENT
All data used in the risk assessment were processed using ESRI ArcGIS Pro and the ESRI Spatial Analyst
Extension. Information on these programs can be found at http://www.esri.com.Data have been gathered
from all relevant agencies, and the most current data have been used.
B-3

Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative, Wildland Fire Protection Plan
To develop the Idaho risk assessment,the fire behavior output layers,fire history,and HVRAs (waters,
infrastructure, and communities)were processed. All fire parameter datasets have been converted to a
raster format(a common GIS data format comprising a grid of cells or pixels, with each pixel containing
a single value). The cell size for the data is 30 x 30 meters (98 x 98 feet). Each of the original cell values
have been reclassified with a new value between 1 and 4,based on the significance of the data
(1 =lowest,4=highest).Prior to running the models on the reclassified datasets,each of the input
parameters have been weighted;that is,they are assigned a percentage value reflecting that parameter's
importance in the model. The parameters were then placed into a Weighted Sum Model, which"stacks"
each geographically aligned dataset and evaluates an output value derived from each cell value of the
overlaid dataset in combination with the weighted assessment.In a Weighted Sum Model, the weighted
values of each pixel from each parameter dataset are added together so that the resulting dataset contains
pixels with summed values of all the parameters. This method ensures that the model resolution is
maintained in the results and thus provides finer detail and range of values for denoting fire risk.
Utah Specific Analysis
Fire Behavior
The Utah portion of the Plan (developed in 2020)utilized UWRAP map products to support analysis of
fire behavior and risk within the RREC Utah service area. The following describes the technical approach
that was used during that plan development.
Analysis Approach
In order to assess wildfire risk in the service area and provide priority areas for mitigation measures,this
analysis focuses on the following data layers in UWRAP: aggregated values,wildfire threat,and wildfire
risk. These layers are defined in the following way and described in more detail below:
• Wildfire Threat: Potential fire behavior based on fire occurrence,landscape,effectiveness of fire
suppression resources.
• Fire Effects: Adverse impacts by a wildfire based on the impacts to identified values
(i.e., infrastructure,property, natural assets, drinking water etc.).
• Wildfire Risk: The possibility of loss or harm occurring from a wildfire. Combination of the
wildfire threat and wildfire effects.
Aggregate Value Impacts
The Aggregate Value Impacts is an overall rating based on the Wildland Development Areas(WUI),
Forest Assets,Riparian Assets,Drinking Water Importance Areas, and Infrastructure Response Function
scores. The individual Value Impacted categories are based on a scale of 1 to 9 and were derived for each
of the values impacted using Response Function scores (Utah Department of Natural Resources 2020).
For the RREC Utah service area,the Aggregate Value Impact categories within the service boundary are
shown in Figure B-3.
Because a large portion of the RREC Utah lines are located in areas with higher population density, or in
association with existing human-made infrastructure(i.e., along highways),it is not surprising that some
of the lines fall in areas identified as having high impact potential from wildfire.Table B-1 shows the
breakdown of acres associated with various categories of aggregated value within a 0.25-mile buffer
around RREC Utah infrastructure/0.5-mile corridor.While just over 80% of the Utah corridor is classed
B-4

Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative, Wildland Fire Protection Plan
as low aggregate value,the remaining area in Utah is categorized as having medium to high impact.
This means that there is a heavy concentration of values that are at risk adjacent to some lines, further
highlighting the need for mitigation measures across many portions of the RREC lines in Utah.

Wildfire Threat
The Fire Threat Index(FTI)in UWRAP is derived from historical fire occurrence,landscape
characteristics including surface fuels,percentile weather derived from historical weather observations,
and terrain conditions. These inputs are combined using analysis techniques based on established fire
science to develop resultant fire behavior(Utah Department of Natural Resources 2020).
FTI combines the probability of an acre igniting(Fire Occurrence),the expected final fire size based on
rate of spread in four weather percentile categories, and the effectiveness of fire suppression resources
(Utah Department of Natural Resources 2020).
Figure B-4 illustrates the wildfire threat from UWRAP for the RREC Utah service area. The majority
(94%)of the RREC infrastructure(based on a 0.25-mile buffer around RREC infrastructure/0.5-mile
corridor)is projected to be at low wildfire threat(Table B-2). Approximately 100 acres of this corridor
are projected to be at medium threat.

Wildfire Risk
The wildfire risk data in UWRAP represents the possibility of loss or harm occurring from a wildfire.
The metric identifies areas with the greatest potential impacts from a wildfire considering the likelihood
of an area burning and the impacts to values and assets aggregated together. The UWRAP risk map layer
(Figure B-5)is a combination of the aggregate values and wildfire threat layers presented above and is
used in this plan to identify priority areas for mitigation treatments.
Figure B-5 illustrates the wildfire risk throughout the RREC Utah service area. The majority(-97%)of
the RREC infrastructure in Utah(based on a 0.25-mile buffer around RREC infrastructure/0.5-mile
corridor)is projected to be at low wildfire risk(Table B-3). Approximately 300 acres are rated as medium
or higher wildfire risk. These are the areas where RREC should focus mitigation measures.

requires a natural disaster protection plan to contain certain information,procedures and protocols relating
to the efforts of the electric utility to prevent or respond to a fire or other natural disaster.
Existing law generally requires a public utility to submit an application and obtain the approval of
the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada for a change in any schedule of rates or services. (NRS
704.110) Section 1.3 provides that any expenditures made by an electric utility in developing and
implementing a natural disaster protection plan are required to be recovered as a separate monthly rate
charged to all customers of the electric utility.
Section 1.7 of this bill prohibits a person from performing work on the electric infrastructure of
an electric utility unless that person is a qualified electrical worker or an apprentice electrical lineman
under the direct supervision of a qualified electrical worker. Section 1.7 authorizes the Commission to

LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO
Sixty-eighth Legislature First Regular Session - 2025
IN THE SENATE
SENATE BILL NO. 1183
BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO WILDFIRE MITIGATION STANDARD OF CARE; AMENDING TITLE 61, IDAHO
3 CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW CHAPTER 18, TITLE 61, IDAHO CODE, TO ES-
4 TABLISH PROVISIONS REGARDING WILDFIRE MITIGATION STANDARD OF CARE; AND
5 DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
6 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7 SECTION 1 . That Title 61, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby amended
8 by the addition thereto of a NEW CHAPTER, to be known and designated as Chap-
9 ter 18, Title 61, Idaho Code, and to read as follows :
10 CHAPTER 18
11 WILDFIRE STANDARD OF CARE ACT
12 61-1801 . SHORT TITLE. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as
13 the "Wildfire Standard of Care Act. "
14 61-1802 . LEGISLATIVE INTENT. In enacting this chapter, it is the in-
15 tent of the legislature to provide for the safe, efficient, and reliable
16 generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power at affordable
17 rates and in such ways that protect the public interest, health, safety, and
18 welfare. The legislature recognizes that the public utilities commission
19 oversees electric corporation compliance with applicable Idaho statutes
20 and regulations, and, when applicable, the state-adopted provisions of
21 the national electric safety code. It further recognizes that preparation
22 for and response to wildfire risk is an increasingly important element of
23 planning conducted by electric utilities . Proper preparation is crucial to
24 position electric utilities to avoid and respond to wildfire risk. Knowing
25 what measures should be taken to minimize wildfire risk before a fire occurs
26 and to respond to it when it does occur is central to the affordable, safe,
27 and reliable transmission and distribution of electricity. It is essential.
28 to ensure these risks are addressed as needed and within appropriate cost
29 parameters so that electric power is kept affordable to the public. This
30 chapter is designed to direct the prudent use of resources by electric util-
31 ities to mitigate and respond to wildfire risk within the costs that can be
32 justified as just and reasonable in order to keep rates affordable to utility
33 customers and protect Idaho residents and their property.
34 61-1803 . WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLANS . (1) For the purposes of this chap-
35 ter, "commission" means the Idaho public utilities commission.
36 (2) (a) Each electric corporation that is a public utility as defined
37 in sections 61-119 and 61-129, Idaho Code, shall adopt and file a wild-
36 fire mitigation plan with the commission for its review and approval

2
1 pursuant to section 61-1804, Idaho Code. The commission may order the
2 plans be filed at a date determined by it and may stagger filing dates .
3 (b) An electric corporation that is not a public utility, including but
4 not limited to a cooperative association distributing electric power to
5 its members or a municipal electric distribution system under section
6 50-342, Idaho Code, may adopt and file a wildfire mitigation plan with
7 the commission for its review at any time permitted by the commission.
8 If such a plan is filed, the commission may assess reasonable fees to the
9 electrical corporation that is not a public utility for its review. The
10 fee may not exceed the actual reasonable cost incurred by the commission
11 for the review and consideration of a plan submitted to it.
12 (3) Each wildfire mitigation plan shall be developed using approaches
13 and methods that are designed to protect the public interest and are reflec-
14 tive of and commensurate with the size and complexity of the electric corpo-
15 ration' s operations and of the nature of the fire risk. At a minimum, each
16 wildfire mitigation plan shall identify a means for mitigating wildfire risk
17 that reflect a reasonable balancing of mitigation costs with the resulting
18 reduction of wildfire risk, including:
19 (a) Identifying geographical areas where an electric corporation has
20 infrastructure or equipment that the electric corporation considers
21 maybe subject to a heightened risk of wildfire at the time the wildfire
22 mitigation plan is finalized by the electric corporation;
23 (b) Preventative actions and programs that the electric corporation
24 will carry out to reduce the risk of wildfire;
25 (c) Community outreach and public awareness efforts that the electric
26 corporation will use before, during, and after wildfire season to iden-
27 tify and inform the public of relevant wildfire risks and notify the
28 public of wildfire-related outages;
29 (d) Outreach efforts to coordinate with federal, state, tribal, and lo-
30 cal officials and agencies on wildfire preparedness and emergency re-
31 sponse plans;
32 (e) Financially prudent and reasonably practicable methods of line de-
33 sign for new, planned, and existing lines to mitigate fire risk;
34 (f) Monitoring of forecasted and current weather data for the purpose
35 of assessing and responding to current and anticipated fire risk; and
36 (g) Developing standards, procedures, and schedules, subject to timely
37 approval of access to rights-of-way, if necessary, for the following
38 actions:
39 (i) Inspection of the electric corporation' s assets, infra-
40 structure, and facilities within the areas that are identified as
41 heightened fire risk areas in the wildfire mitigation plan, where
42 financially prudent and reasonably practicable;
43 (ii) De-energization of the electric corporation' s power lines,
44 if considered appropriate by the electric corporation; and
45 (iii) Vegetation management within the areas that are identified
46 as heightened fire risk areas in the wildfire mitigation plan
47 and are within the electric corporation' s rights-of-way or lands
48 adjacent thereto and that threaten the power lines or other elec-
49 tric corporation infrastructure. If live marketable timber is
50 identified for removal from timber company land adjacent to the

3
1 rights-of-way, compensation at fair market value shall be made to
2 the landowner for such timber.
3 (4) Commission-approved wildfire mitigation plans shall be imple-
4 mented upon approval by the commission and shall be reviewed and updated
5 annually. The plans shall be updated, publicly filed, and approved in accor-
6 dance with this section and section 61-1804, Idaho Code.
7 (5) An electric corporation with a commission-approved wildfire miti-
8 gation plan shall submit a report to the commission updating the commission
9 on the electric corporation's compliance with its wildfire mitigation plan
10 on an annual basis or on such other basis as the commission may prescribe by
11 rule or order. The report shall include documentation describing the devel-
12 opment and adoption of the wildfire mitigation plan' s components and mea-
13 sures, the wildfire mitigation expenditures, and the work taken to develop
14 and adopt the plan's components and measures .
15 61-1804 . COMMISSION REVIEW OF WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLANS. (1) The com-
16 mission shall review a wildfire mitigation plan or an update thereto and, af-
17 ter notice and comment, within six (6) months of receiving such filing, shall
18 approve or reject the plan. In reviewing the plan, the commission shall en-
19 sure that it meets the minimum requirements stated in section 61-1803, Idaho
20 Code, and shall consider the following factors:
21 (a) The consistency of the plan with the public health, safety, and wel-
22 fare;
23 (b) The feasibility of the plan and the cost of its implementation; and
24 (c) The degree to which the plan adequately minimizes wildfire risk and
25 proposes to respond to wildfires that do occur.
26 (2) Within five (5) business days of filing a wildfire mitigation plan
27 with the commission for its review and approval, the electric corporation
28 shall provide notice of the filing to the state forester, cities, counties,
29 fire protection districts, fire protection associations, and timber protec--
30 tion associations within the electric corporation' s Idaho service area. No-
31 tice may be given by certified mail or electronic means .
32 (3) In reviewing a plan, the commission shall consult with the inter-
33 ested entities listed in subsection (2) of this section for technical assis-
34 tance. With respect to elements of the plan that relate to vegetation man-
35 agement, reduction of wildfire fuels, and other duties of the state forester
36 under title 38, Idaho Code, it shall be presumed that the recommendations
37 of the state forester, if any are provided, are reasonable and appropriate.
38 Such recommendations shall be incorporated in the decision of the commission
39 unless the commission determines they are not just, reasonable, and in the
40 public interest, in which case the commission shall document its reasoning
41 in its order approving or rejecting the plan.
42 61-1805. EFFECT OF WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLANS. A commission-approved
43 plan shall establish measures for the electric corporation to prepare for
44 and address wildfire risk and shall establish the electric corporation' s
45 duty to its members and the public.
46 61-1806 . LIABILITY. (1) In a civil action where wildfire-related
47 damages are being sought against an electric corporation, there is a rebut-

4
1 table presumption that the electric corporation acted without negligence
2 if, with respect to the cause of the wildfire, the electric corporation rea-
3 sonably implemented a commission-approved wildfire mitigation plan. This
4 rebuttable presumption extends to any act or omission taken in reasonable
5 accordance with the approved wildfire mitigation plan in effect at the time
s the fire ignited, regardless of the content in any prior commission-approved
7 plan that is no longer in effect.
8 (2) If an electric corporation is found liable in a civil action for
9 damages due to any unplanned or uncontrolled fire, then a plaintiff seeking
10 damages in such civil action may recover damages as provided for in sections
11 38-107 (2) , 6-1603, and 6-1604, Idaho Code, subject to the limitations pro-
12 vided therein.
13 61-1807 . DENIAL OF ACCESS TO RIGHTS-OF-WAY. If, after an electric
14 corporation has requested access to privately-owned land or an easement
15 or right-of-way on land owned by the state, a federal agency, or a tribal
16 government, through certified mail addressed to the address best calcu-
17 lated to provide notice, telephone, or electronic means known to belong to
18 the landowner, state, federal agency, or tribal government and reasonably
19 considered likely to provide notice, access is denied or no response is re-
20 ceived after thirty (30) days of the request, the electric corporation is
21 authorized to access the property, easement, or right-of-way for the limited
22 purposes of performing vegetation management, fire mitigation work in ac-
23 cordance with a commission-approved wildfire mitigation plan, or upgrading,
24 inspecting, or repairing the electric corporation's assets, infrastruc-
25 ture, or facilities . In taking such actions, the electric corporation shall
26 not be held liable in any civil action for claims or damages, except to the
27 extent the electric corporation' s conduct willfully or recklessly caused
28 substantial damage to the property.
29 61-1808 . EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Except to the extent title 72, Idaho Code,
30 is applicable, the civil actions identified in section 61-1806, Idaho Code,
31 shall be the exclusive civil remedies available against an electric corpo-
32 ration for damages resulting from any act or omission related to a commis-
33 Sion-approved wildfire mitigation plan. This section does not limit an in-
34 surer's ability to exercise valid subrogation rights subject to the liabil-
35 ity framework established in section 61-1806, Idaho Code. This section does
36 not limit or impair any action that may be brought against the manufacturer
37 of any equipment that is alleged to be faulty or defective.
38 SECTION 2 . An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
39 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after
