Weather conditions and very dry fuels are challenging firefighting efforts across the country. As of this morning, 11 new large wildfires have been reported, bringing the national total to 36 large fires that remain uncontained. Fire managers are using a variety of strategies to meet suppression goals, with 75 incidents being guided by objectives beyond full perimeter containment. More than 11,400 wildland firefighters and support personnel are currently assigned to these efforts.

In support of our international partners, one incident management team and five overhead personnel from the United States remain assigned to large fire support in Canada, an ongoing example of the global nature of wildland fire response.

With many families camping, hiking, and enjoying public lands this time of year, it’s more important than ever to recreate responsibly. Campfires, stoves, and even vehicle exhaust systems can become ignition sources under dry and windy conditions. Clear vegetation away from your fire or cooking area, keep water nearby, and never leave a fire unattended. Before you go, check local fire restrictions and make sure your gear is spark-safe.  Recreate Responsibly: Wildfire Edition

A new fuels and fire behavior advisory has been issued for eastern Nevada, where fine fuels, especially grasses, are critically dry and continuous. In these areas, even small ignitions can lead to fast-moving wildfires with extreme behavior. You can read the full advisory here: Fuels & Fire Behavior Advisory – Eastern Nevada

This fire year, we’re leaning into six key themes: protecting lives and communities, fostering collaboration, embracing innovation, connecting homes and wildfires, reducing smoke impacts, and enjoying public lands responsibly. As fire activity increases, these themes remind us that it takes all of us to meet the challenges ahead—safely, together, and with purpose. Learn more about the  2025 National Fire Year Themes

Weather

Hot temperatures will continue in California today, with much of the lower elevations below 2,000 feet exceeding 100°F away from the coast. Very dry conditions will stretch from interior California through the southern Intermountain West with minimum relative humidity of 3-15% and poor overnight recovery. Above normal temperatures will spread into the Pacific Northwest with low relative humidity, as well, although winds will be light. Areas of breezy westerly sustained winds of 12-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph will persist in much of Arizona into the eastern Great Basin, Wyoming, and West Slope creating locally elevated conditions. Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will continue in the central and southern Rockies east of the Divide, with wetter storms for the adjacent High Plains. For the eastern US, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across the Southeast and much of the Eastern Seaboard, while a cold front brings widespread thunderstorms to the Midwest. A warming trend will commence across much of Alaska with warm temperatures in the Interior, with the lowest relative humidity in the northern Interior due to downsloping north winds off the Brooks Range.
