Matt Reidy, district ranger for Tonasket Ranger District, left, and Matt Marsh, district Wildlife biologist for the Tonasket Ranger District, talk in an area of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Cox Meadows that experienced a high intensity burn from North Star Fire. The blaze burned so intensely that it sterilized the soil and turned it into dust. Reidy said this area never had any large-diameter logging, fuel ladder reduction, or prescribed burns- which likely contributed to the fire burning more intensely. Reidy said that areas nearby had commercial and small-diameter thinning, which in turn, moderated the intensity of the blaze.
