Wildfire activity is picking up nationwide. As of this morning, 29 large uncontained fires are burning across the country, and an additional 32 being managed with strategies other than full suppression, mostly in Alaska. Nearly 6,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents across the United States.

Our commitment to shared stewardship doesn’t stop at the border. In addition to U.S. wildfire response, three incident management teams, 17 fire suppression crews and 107 overhead personnel are currently assigned to large fire support efforts in Canada. This international coordination highlights the interconnectedness of fire, weather, and smoke, as well as the importance of working together to meet fire challenges wherever they arise. See International Support for more information. 

Several geographic areas in the U.S. are seeing hot, dry conditions and dry fuels, increasing the potential for new ignitions and large fire growth. Rapid response remains key to protecting lives, property and natural resources. See fuels and fire behavior advisories from the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC). 

The 2025 National Fire Year Themes remind us that it takes all of us, firefighters, land managers, community members and visitors, to be part of the solution. Whether through innovation, collaboration, or prevention, we all play a role in creating a safer, more fire-adapted future.

As we move deeper into fire year 2025, let’s take each day as an opportunity to protect our communities and public lands.

Weather

A trough over the West Coast will keep temperatures in southern California, the Southwest, and the Great Basin up to 10°F below normal, while the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and the northern Rockies will experience near to above normal temperatures. Southerly flow into the Southwest will continue, with precipitation and thunderstorm coverage expanding a bit farther west of the Divide in western New Mexico. Arizona and the eastern Great Basin will see south/southwest winds, sustained at 10-15 mph with gusts near 25, creating elevated fire weather conditions. The ridge of high pressure will maintain above normal temperatures across the eastern states, although the heat wave will become less expansive. Highs near or above 100°F will occur along the central and north Atlantic Coast and New England, while the Southeast, Midwest, and Great Plains cool closer to normal, in the 80s and 90s. The central and northern Great Plains will have a cooler day due to widespread cloud cover and thunderstorms that will extend into eastern Wyoming. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible for the eastern Sierra, northeast Nevada, and northern Utah.
