July 17, 2025
Across the country, more than 17,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel are working tirelessly to contain 108 large fires. Many of these fires are burning actively, even through the night. With hot, dry, and windy conditions intensifying across the West, particularly east of the Cascades and into the Great Basin, wildfires are spreading faster. Lightning holdovers may emerge and grow, and gusty winds are making an already challenging situation even more volatile.
Today, we ask you to be a part of the solution. More than 85 percent of wildfires in the United States are caused by people. That means most are preventable. Currently, 392 crews, 826 engines, 146 helicopters, and two Modular Airborne Firefighting System (MAFFS) airtankers are assigned to incidents across the country. Every one of these resources is vital to protecting lives, property, and the landscapes we all care about.
Please be especially careful with anything that could ignite a spark, including vehicles, equipment, campfires, smoking materials, and even parking on dry grass. Firefighters are doing their part. Let’s do ours.
This is the fire year, not just a fire season. Wildfires are happening more frequently and across more months of the year. The decisions we make today affect not only the landscapes we love but the safety of our communities and the people working to protect them.
The 2025 National Fire Year Themes remind us of our shared responsibility. Whether you're at home, on the road, or enjoying public lands, stay aware, follow local restrictions, and lead by example. Because it truly takes all of us.
Gusty west to southwest winds will result in elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions across the southern Great Basin and northwest Arizona, with enhanced west winds in the Snake River Plain, as well. Minimum RH of 7-15% will be the rule again across much of the Great Basin into the West Slope and most of the Arizona Strip. Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop from central Nevada into the Four Corners and southwest Wyoming, while scattered wet thunderstorms develop from the Mogollon Rim into southern Arizona and much of New Mexico. Dry conditions are expected across the Northwest, with hotter temperatures locally approaching the century mark and RH as low as 10-25% west of the Cascades. These warmer conditions will be the result of thermal troughing that may lead to an increase in activity over the Olympic Peninsula. Onshore flow will deepen over California, bringing near average temperatures and an uptick in humidity. Farther east, a cold front will trigger scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms from the Front Range to the Upper Midwest, while the Southern Plains will begin to dry out. Temperatures will be as much as 20-30 degrees below average over the northern Rockies and Upper Midwest. Look for thunderstorms with flash flood potential over portions of the Appalachians, in addition to the eastern Gulf Coast as a tropical wave tracks by just offshore. Waves of showers will continue to overspread western and central Alaska, maintaining below average temperatures and improvement in the fire environment. Eastern parts of the state will be dry but seasonably mild.
