Data was collected in 2023 in Corvallis, Oregon, and over Zoom. Members of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) community (e.g., university faculty and administrative professionals, agency scientists and personnel, students, alumni and emeritus from the aforementioned communities) were interviewed between September 26th and November 8th 2023. At the time, the fire had largely stopped growing (no significant runs occurred during the interview period), but the fire was not fully contained and the fire severity was not yet known by the community. Data collection is complete. The interview included questions about emotional reactions to the Lookout Fire, current and foreseen impacts to research at the HJA, social relationships and the fire, naturalness of the fire, and climate change, climate anxiety, and the fire. Interviews were semi-structured; while interviews were guided by the interview protocol, conversation was allowed to proceed organically. In total, 40 respondents were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed inductively and deductively. A finalized codebook was developed iteratively; the included codebook are the final codes used to analyze the full dataset. Interview transcripts and other potentially identifying information is not available to protect respondent confidentiality and anonymity.

Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) community (e.g., university faculty and administrative professionals, agency scientists and personnel, students, alumni and emeritus from the aforementioned communities) were interviewed between September 26th and November 8th 2023. A total of 40 respondents were interviewed. The research team used a pre-established interview protocol but the conversation was allowed to proceed organically and not constrained to the interview questions verbatim. Respondents first introduced themselves and reviewed their affiliation and work with the H. J. Andrews. They described how, if at all, their work was impacted by the Lookout Fire. Next, respondents described their emotional reaction to the fire, including whether or not they experienced grief. Then, respondents described how connected they felt to the HJA community as a whole and what impact the community has had on their experience with the fire, if any. Then respondents were asked a series of questions about how the Lookout Fire may or may not have impacted their beliefs about science and the environment. First, respondents described what they believe constituted meaningful science and research, and whether the Lookout Fire affected their beliefs, including how they believed the Lookout Fire would change science and research at the HJA. Then they were asked their perceptions about naturalness and wildfire, including what makes fires natural or unnatural, whether the Lookout Fire was a natural or unnatural fire, and how the un/naturalness of the Lookout Fire impacted their perceptions of it. Afterwards, respondents were asked about climate anxiety, their experience with it, and whether the Lookout Fire caused or exacerbated any feelings of climate change. Finally, respondents answered demographics questions. Processing Procedures - SS012 Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed in MaxQDA. A codebook for analysis was developed iteratively: first, preliminary codes were developed deductively based on the guiding research questions in the interview protocol and inductively based on key themes emerging through the transcripts. The codebook was iteratively refined through an intercoder reliability check. Once sufficient intercoder reliability and agreement was achieved, the codebook was considered finalized. One researcher used the finalized codebook to code the interviews. A summary of results for each major section of the interview protocol was created based on analysis of coded interviews. Data Entry - SS012 Interviews were recorded electronically and transcribed verbatim. Verbatim interviews were analyzed and summarized to create the summary of results. Sampling frequency: one time A lightning strike ignited wildfire started on Lookout Mountain in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest on August 5, 2023. The wildfire grew rapidly and required immediate evacuation of the area including all researchers and staff working on the forest in the middle of a busy field work season. To assess how members of the HJA community perceived and processed the 2023 Lookout Fire, interviews were conducted while the fire was still unfolding. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a non-random sample of the HJA community, recruited through interviewer networks and snowball sampling. Interviews were conducted until saturation, i.e., until no new information was being revealed. Consequently, the frequency with which topics were mentioned in the interviews should not be considered statistically representative of the HJA community at large, or another population. To protect respondent confidentiality and anonymity, full interview transcripts are not available. Instead, a summary of key interview results is provided. The interview protocol and codebook are provided verbatim as used in data collection and analysis and are available for longitudinal data collection (i.e., future researchers conducting new interviews) while the Summary of Results provides a basis of comparison for future work.

Andrews Experimental Forest is a living laboratory that provides unparalleled opportunities for the study of forest and stream ecosystems in the central Cascade Range of Oregon. Since 1980, as a part of the National Science Foundation Long Term Ecological Research (NSF-LTER) program, the Andrews Experimental Forest has become a leader in the analysis of forest and stream ecosystem dynamics. Long-term field experiments and measurement programs have focused on climate dynamics, streamflow, water quality, and vegetation succession. Currently researchers are working to develop concepts and tools needed to predict effects of natural disturbance, land use, and climate change on ecosystem structure, function, and species composition. The Andrews Experimental Forest is administered cooperatively by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University and the Willamette National Forest. Funding for the research program comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University, and other sources. Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 2025755), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University. National Science Foundation: DEB2025755 National Science Foundation https://ror.org/021nxhr62 DEB2025755 https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2025755 The Andrews Forest is situated in the western Cascade Range of Oregon, and covers the entire 15,800-acre (6400-ha) drainage basin of Lookout Creek. Elevation ranges from 1350 to 5340 feet (410 to 1630 m). Broadly representative of the rugged mountainous landscape of the Pacific Northwest, the Andrews Forest contains excellent examples of the region's conifer forests and associated wildlife and stream ecosystems. These forests are among the tallest and most productive in the world, with tree heights of often greater than 250 ft (75 m). Streams are steep, cold and clean, providing habitat for numerous aquatic organisms.
