Wildfire Destroys Two USGS Streamgages in Idaho

In March 2012, USGS hydrologic technician John Wirt recorded unusually high streamflow at our streamgage on Dixie Creek. This summer, a wildfire burned through the same area, destroying two of streamgages. The USGS is responding to restore its monitoring capability in case of post-fire flooding and debris flow.Note: U.S. Forest Service has given us permission to use their photos in this video.
