National Fire Situation Report

Sep 8, 2021 3:07pm, CT

National Preparedness Level Level 2

Description

Active agencies are unable to independently accomplish incident management objectives without some support. Resource capability remains stable enough nationally to sustain incident operations and meet objectives in active agencies. There is a low probability that drawing down resources from non-active agencies may pose a risk should existing conditions change.

Wildland fire activity is increasing in one or more agencies.
Resources within most agencies are adequate to manage their current situation, with light to moderate demand and mobilization of resources occurring through CIFFC.
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is normal to below normal for the time of year.

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.
