Yesterday, 83 new fires were reported nationwide, including eight new large fires. Currently, firefighters are working to contain 54 uncontained large fires across the country. The National Preparedness Level increased to 4 (PL 4) yesterday, June 29.
The largest fire in the nation remains the Cottonwood Fire near Beaver, Utah. While firefighters continue to make progress, new large fires and increased activity in parts of the Great Basin, Rocky Mountain, Southwest and Northwest geographic areas highlight the continued potential for rapid fire growth where hot, dry and windy conditions persist. More than 8,200 personnel are currently assigned to active incidents nationwide.
So far this year, 35,884 fires have burned more than 3.1 million acres across the United States.
The Great Basin Predictive Services staff and fuels specialists in Nevada and Utah, have issued a Fuels and Fire Behavior Advisory that covers eastern Nevada, the Arizona Strip, and much of Utah. It highlights the unusually dry live and dead fuels in the area.
Today marks the beginning of the Week of Remembrance, a time for the wildland fire community to honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty while reflecting on lessons learned from serious incidents. Over the next week, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group will highlight incidents from the 2016 fire season, honoring the 15 firefighters who died that year, as well as the enduring legacy of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who lost 19 firefighters on June 30, 2013. Through remembrance and reflection, the Week of Remembrance reinforces our shared commitment to learning, supporting one another, and improving firefighter safety.
The wildland fire community continues to grieve in the wake of the news that three wildland firefighters lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, as part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border. Yesterday, the identities of those lost have been made public in a news release from the Department of the Interior. Additionally, two crew members were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.
The U.S. Wildland Fire Service stands united with the USDA Forest Service in grief and unwavering support for the loved ones left behind. Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Southwest winds 12-25 mph with gusts 25-45 mph amid RH of 3-15% will develop across the Greater Four Corners into the central High Plains today creating widespread elevated to critical conditions. The strongest winds are likely in the Four Corners to the southern Front Range of Colorado. Isolated dry thunderstorms will also develop from central and eastern New Mexico into the Front Range and central High Plains this afternoon with several new ignitions likely. Farther north and west, cooler temperatures will continue for California into the northwestern U.S., and scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop in the northern Great Basin to northern Rockies. Well above normal temperatures are expected in the Great Lakes, but relative humidity will remain elevated and green-up will help mitigate. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop from the central Plains into the Great Lakes and Northeast, as well, with scattered thunderstorms along the northern Gulf Coast into Florida. Cool and showery conditions are expected across much of Alaska today, while moderate trade winds and scattered showers are expected in Hawai’i.
