National Fire Situation Report

Sep 15, 2021 3:10pm, CT

This will be the final Situation Report for 2021.

National Preparedness Level Level 1

Description

Agencies accomplish incident management objectives utilizing local resources with little or no CIFFC support. There is little risk of drawing down capability in the agencies to support incident operations.

Conditions are not favorable to support significant wildland fire activity in most agencies.
Resource capability is adequate with little or no mobilization of resources occurring through CIFFC.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is expected to remain minimal.

Preparedness Level 5

Summary

National mobilization is heavily committed and measures need to be taken to support GA's. Active GA's must take emergency measures to sustain incident operations.

Full commitment of national resources is ongoing.
Resource orders filled at NICC by specifically coordinating requests with GACCs as resources become available.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is high and expected to remain high in multiple geographic areas.
