Across the country, seven large wildfires are being managed under full suppression strategies in five geographic areas. More than 1,100 wildland firefighters and support personnel are currently assigned to these incidents. Since the start of the year, 29,239 wildfires have burned over 1.2 million acres nationwide.

In addition to supporting incidents here at home, the U.S. is lending a hand to our neighbors to the north. In response to wildfire activity in western Canada, the National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group has approved a request for assistance from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. The National Interagency Coordination Center, in Boise, Idaho, is coordinating the mobilization of U.S. resources to Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Support may include interagency hotshot crews, incident management teams, overhead personnel, aviation resources, equipment, and supplies. This reinforces a long-standing agreement that makes help possible across borders when it’s needed most.

Every time we respond, whether it's a wildfire on public lands or across an international boundary, we bring with us the power of partnership. The 2025 National Fire Year Themes remind us that wildland fire is everyone’s fight. By working together, embracing innovation, and learning from the past, we’re building a more resilient and fire-adapted future.

As summer approaches, so does increased wildfire potential. Now is the time to prepare. Whether you’re checking fire restrictions before heading out or clearing brush from around your home, your actions matter. One spark can start a wildfire, but one person can prevent it.

Fuels and fire behavior advisories are in place for southeast Arizona and the White Mountains/Gila Region and southcentral New Mexico Mountains. For a look at predicted fire risk through August 2025, see the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook

Weather

Temperatures will warm to well above normal in the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies and northern Great Basin this weekend as relative humidity falls to 8-20% for the valleys and 15-30% for the mountains. Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop Saturday in northern California and spread into southern Oregon and western Nevada Sunday. Hot temperatures will return to the Sonoran Desert this weekend along with extended periods of low relative humidity. Locally elevated conditions are possible for southeast Arizona into southwest New Mexico today due to gusty westerly winds before winds diminish this weekend. Drier conditions will also return to the Greater Four Corners this weekend, but temperatures will not be as hot nor humidity as low. A cold front will move through the central and southern Plains, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and Northeast through the weekend with scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will move through the northern Plains and Midwest this weekend, with breezy northwest winds behind the front across eastern Montana and the western Dakotas creating elevated to locally critical conditions. Locally breezy southwest winds are possible ahead of the front in the Upper Midwest, followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms late Sunday. Cooler than normal conditions with scattered to widespread showers will continue across southern Alaska and into the Interior, with a brief period of drier conditions across the eastern Interior Saturday.
