The Plumtaw Fire was ignited May 17, 2022 on the San Juan National Forest, Pagosa Ranger District, Colorado, by suspected human activities. The fire ignited within a pre-identified Potential Operational Delineation (POD) developed by staff and cooperators on and adjacent to the San Juan National Forest in 2019. (PODs are fire management and planning units whose boundaries are defined by potential control features—such as roads and natural barriers— within which fire risk to values can be quantified and summarized.)
