July 2, 2026
Yesterday, 75 new fires were reported nationwide, including four new large fires. Currently, firefighters are working to contain 49 uncontained large fires across the country. National Preparedness Level remains at 4 (PL 4).
Today, on National Wildland Firefighter Day , we recognize the thousands of wildland firefighters, dispatchers, aviation personnel, incident management teams and support staff serving communities across the nation. More than 9,600 personnel are currently assigned to active incidents, working together to protect lives, property and natural resources.
The largest fire in the nation remains the Cottonwood Fire near Beaver, Utah. Firefighters continue to respond to active incidents across multiple geographic areas as hot, dry and windy conditions support active fire behavior in parts of the Great Basin, Rocky Mountain and Southwest areas. New large fires were also reported in the Northwest and Alaska. So far this year, 36,463 fires have burned more than 3.2 million acres across the United States.
Yesterday, Predictive Services released the latest National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook , providing a four-month outlook for expected fire potential across the United States.
Today is Day 3 of the National Wildland Fire Week of Remembrance , a time to honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty while reflecting on lessons learned from serious incidents. Throughout the week, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group is highlighting incidents from the 2016 fire season. We invite everyone to follow along and learn more.
