Wildland fire activity moderated over the weekend. One new large fire was reported in Arizona. Firefighters continue to work toward their containment goal on the East Troublesome Fire in Colorado, which has currently burned 192,560 acres. No large fires were contained yesterday.

NIMO (Houseman) has been assigned to COVID-19 support at Forest Service headquarters in Washington, D.C. NIMO (Reinarz) has been assigned to provide wildland fire support to California.

Five fire suppression crews and four overhead personnel from Mexico are supporting fire suppression efforts in southern California

During this unprecedented time, the safety of the public and all wildland fire responders is always the number one priority for all wildland fire agencies. For more information and links to the Geographic Area Plans, visit the NIFC COVID-19 page.

Weather

An upper-level trough will push into the Southwest and begin to pivot to the east tonight with an associated cold front also pushing into the Southwest. Precipitation will spread across the central and southern Rockies, northern and central Plains, Southwest, and into portions of the Great Basin and southern California with much of the precipitation falling as snow, especially at higher elevations. Precipitation will also develop from the southern Plains through the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys into the Great Lakes and Northeast along and behind a cold front. Strong, dry offshore and northerly winds will continue across much of California into far southwest Oregon through tonight with dry and windy conditions in the southern Great Basin and Desert Southwest.
