National Interagency Fire Center

#NationalFireNews: Due to significant wildland fire activity occurring in several Geographic Areas with the potential for additional large wildland fires emerging, the #PreparednessLevel has increased to 3 (also known as PL3) as of today, June 28. Over the last several days, the National Interagency Coordination Center has had to increasingly engage with Geographic Area Coordination Centers to coordinate and fill orders for most national resource types. Further, a drawdown of resources on non-active Geographic Areas may pose a challenge if existing fuel and fire weather conditions change in those areas. #FireYear2024 More National Fire News here: https://lnkd.in/gTj5mZB 📸 Photo on Monday evening, June 24, the #McDonaldFire burns toward the Tanana River.

#NationalFireNews: July 3, 2024. Nationwide, there are 60 large wildfires and complexes, 18 of which are being managed under full suppression strategies. Wildland firefighters and support personnel in #Alaska are managing 37 incidents. Six complex incident management teams and one type 1 incident management team have been assigned or are currently mobilizing to incidents. Approximately 7,000 firefighters and support personnel are assigned including more than 160 crews, 350 engines, and multiple aviation resources. It's almost time for the biggest fireworks holiday of the year. Unsurprisingly, every year wildfires are ignited by fireworks. Fireworks have no place on public lands, and even on your own property, must be handled with serious care. Even without fireworks, outdoor celebrations during some of the hottest and driest weather of the summer often results in wildland firefighters putting in grueling overtime to catch careless accidental starts. Please do your part to prevent wildfires as you enjoy your public lands over the holiday. #RecreateResponsibly this #IndependenceDay More NFN: https://lnkd.in/gTj5mZB 📸 All photos from InciWeb.
