September 1, 2023 - Currently, 82 large wildfires have burned 642,615 acres in 14 states. Three new large wildfires were reported, Louisiana, Oregon and Washington each had one. Nearly 20,000 firefighters credit nifcwildland firefighters and support personnel are working on large incidents. To date, 39,443 wildfires have burned 2,011,193 acres.

The Southern Geographic Area Coordination Center has issued a new Fuels and Fire Behavior Advisory for a multi-state area. Several states have had prolonged hot and dry conditions creating highly flammable fuels and much higher than normal fire activity for this time of year. These adverse conditions will continue into at lease mid-September.

It's a holiday weekend and many are preparing to get out onto public lands to camp. Wherever you're are camping this weekend, please #KnowBeforeYouGo! Check for local fire restrictions before visiting your favorite spot in the wildlands.
