National Fire News: The National Preparedness Level (PL) has increased to three (PL3) as of today, June 21 at 0730 (MDT).

Significant wildland fire activity is now occurring in multiple Geographic Areas with the potential for additional large wildland fires to emerge.

Over the last few days, the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) has increasingly engaged with Geographic Area Coordination Centers to coordinate and fill orders for most national resource types. Further, a drawdown of resources on non-active Geographic Areas may pose a challenge if existing fuel and fire weather conditions change in those areas.
