National Fire Situation Report

National Preparedness Level Level 4

Description

Significant mobilization of resources through CIFFC is required to assist operations in the active agencies. Agency priorities need to be considered as a necessary measure to address the demand for shared resources among multiple active agencies. There is a moderate to high 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 high.
International availability of resources is being investigated.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is such that resource demands are expected to continue or increase.

Preparedness Level 2

Summary

Active Geographic Areas (GA's) are unable to independently accomplish incident management objectives. Resource capability remains stable enough nationally to sustain incident operations and meet objectives in active GA's.

Significant wildland fire activity is increasing in a few geographic areas.
Resources within most geographic areas are adequate to manage the current situation, with light to moderate mobilization of resources occurring through the National Interagency Coordination Center.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is normal to below normal for the time of year.
