ABSTRACT:
	Fire history is documented for an 11,000 hectare (27,110 acre) area in the western Oregon Cascades , including H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. Fire scar and tree origin data were collected mainly from stumps at 359 sites. Thirty-five fire events are mapped from 1482 to 1952. Mean fire return intervals are derived from data at individual sites, about 5 hectares in size, rather than from the corrected master fire chronology.
