September 7, 2024 - 21,317 wildland firefighters and support personnel continue to work on new wildfires ignited by lightning storms across the West. As of this morning, 68 large active wildfires are firefighters credit nifcbeing managed with full suppression strategies. Current wildfires have burned 1,998,401 acres. Resources assigned to incidents include 25 complex and 5 type 1 incident management teams, 515 crews, 1,060 engines, and 136 helicopters. 

Twenty-four fireline management personnel from Australia and New Zealand are assigned to support large fires in the Northwest Area. For more information about the mobilization of wildland firefighters from Australia and New Zealand visit the international support page.

Two hundred forty-five soldiers from the 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion and the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment based out of Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) are deployed in support of wildland fire operations on the Boise National Forest. NIMO (Team 2) is assigned to support the military contingent. To learn more about military mobilizations, visit the military support page.

Note: Given the very high tempo and scale of national fire activity over the past few months, there have been delays in reconciling actual acreage burned with entries into the reporting systems, especially from areas with large fires and dynamic fire activity. Adjustments are occurring as the accuracy of fire locations, mapping and final fire reporting is reconciled.

Weather

The upper-level ridge will shift east due to an upper low moving into Oregon. Temperatures will continue to run well above normal for much of the western US, especially in the Pacific Northwest where more record daily temperatures are possible. The heat will also spread more into the High Plains. High temperatures over 105°F are expected from southern Arizona through the California Central Valley, with highs approaching 100°F in the Inland Northwest. Low relative humidity of 4-20% will continue as well, with poor overnight recovery of 10-30% for mid-slopes and ridges across the Intermountain West. Isolated dry thunderstorms will continue across central and eastern Oregon into Nevada, with breezy afternoon southwesterly winds gusting to 30 mph across southeast Oregon, the eastern Sierra Front, and the western Great Basin. Limited moisture will remain in eastern Arizona and east towards the Divide. Isolated mixed wet/dry thunderstorms are still possible along the Mogollon Rim and into much of New Mexico and southwest Colorado. Farther east, a cold front will continue to move across Appalachia and the Northeast, but little rainfall is forecast outside the Northeast. Most of the thunderstorm activity along the Gulf Coast will remain off the coast, with a chance for rain across the Florida Peninsula. North to northwesterly winds from the southern Plains and into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys will be gusting 15 to 25 mph behind the cold front.
