Accident Investigation
Factual Report
Cramer Fire Fatalities
North Fork Ranger District
Salmon-Challis National Forest
Region 4
Salmon, Idaho - July 22, 2003
Narrative: Accident
Fact 202: The Cache Bar drainage was fully involved
in fire. The fire burned over and around H-2, killing Allen and Heath
shortly after Allen's last call for a helicopter. Estimated temperatures
at the fatality site were from 1,300 °F to potentially over 2,000
°F. One fire shelter at the site was accordion-folded in the same
shape in which it was packaged, indicating that it had not been unfolded
before the burnover. The second fire shelter was unfolded lengthwise,
but was still almost completely folded width-wise, indicating that the
shelter was removed from its plastic bag and partially unfolded before
the burnover. The Lemhi County coroner reported that the fatalities were
caused by fire, but no autopsy reports were available for this investigation
(appendix d; records: 20 and 21).
