July 7, 2025

Across the country, three new large fires were reported since yesterday morning, for a total of 31 large fires being suppressed, and 80 being managed under strategies other than full suppression. More than 8,400 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents, including a complex incident management team and 54 overhead personnel assisting fire suppression efforts in Canada. 

Wildfire activity is increasing across several regions, with July bringing above normal potential in the Great Basin, Southwest, Northern Rockies, and parts of California and the Northwest. In southwest Utah, critically dry grasses and shrubs are fueling fast-moving fires. Learn more by checking out the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook and the Southwest Utah Advisory.

Last week was the annual Week of Remembrance, and because National Fire News is not currently updated on weekends, today we will belatedly share the content for days 6 and 7. Day 6 is dedicated to USDA Forest Service firefighters Richard Wheeler, Andrew Zajac, and Tom Zbyszewski perished while engaged in initial attack on the Twisp River Fire. Day 7 is dedicated to the Fallen 14 who lost their lives on Storm King Mountain in 1994. The Week of Remembrance honors the fallen and encourages review and discussion of the tragic circumstances of their passing, to better prepare firefighters for their inherently dangerous work. Thank you for your attention and respect for Week of Remembrance 2025. 

The 2025 National Fire Year Themes emphasize safety, innovation, shared responsibility, and connection. These values remind us that it truly takes all of us to face wildfires together and protect what we value for tomorrow.

Weather

Isolated to possibly scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are forecast over far northern California into southern and central Oregon from late afternoon through the evening. Temperatures will be 5-20°F above normal across the northwestern US, with relative humidity generally 8-20% across much of the Intermountain West. Dry and breezy conditions are likely from along and east of the southern Sierra into portions of central and southern Nevada. Isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will continue across southeast Arizona and much of New Mexico, especially along and east of the Continental Divide. Wetter thunderstorms are expected east of the Divide from New Mexico through Colorado and onto the southern and central High Plains. Severe thunderstorms are likely from northeast New Mexico through much of the central and northern Plains and into Minnesota as well. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely across much of the southern and eastern US, with remnants of the Tropical Storm Chanal moving over Virginia. In Alaska, scattered to possibly widespread showers and thunderstorms are forecast across much of the Interior into south-central Alaska, with near to below normal temperatures across the state. Gusty trade winds will continue across the Hawaiian Islands with dry conditions continuing on leeward sides.
