National Fire Situation Report

National Preparedness Level Level 3

Description

Increased mobilization of resources through CIFFC is required to support operations in the active agencies. Agency priorities may need to be considered as a necessary measure to address the demand for shared resources among multiple active agencies. There is a moderate probability that drawing down resources from non-active agencies may pose a risk should existing conditions change.

Significant wildland fire activity is occurring in one or more agencies, with incident management (IMTs) actively engaged.
Demand and mobilization of interagency resources through CIFFC is moderate to high.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is normal for time of year.

Preparedness Level 1

Summary

Geographic Areas accomplish incident management objectives utilizing local resources with little or no national support.

Conditions are not favorable to support significant wildland fire activity in most geographic areas.
Resource capability is adequate with little or no mobilization of resources occurring through the National Interagency Coordination Center.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is expected to remain minimal.
