September 14, 2024 - 62 large active wildfires are currently being managed with full suppression strategies nationwide. Current fires have burned 2,485,326 acres. 27,825 wildland firefighters and firefighters credit nifcsupport personnel are assigned to incidents, including 24 complex and 3 type 1 incident management teams, 585 crews, 1,905 engines, and 153 helicopters. 

In 2024 so far, 36,778 fires have burned 7,252,737 acres nationally. This compares to the 10-year average for this date of 44,000 fires and 5,674,347 acres. 

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 are reconciled.

Weather

An upper-level low is forecast to move toward the Pacific Northwest coast during the day, with showers returning to western Washington. Ahead of the low, near to above normal temperatures, breezy southwesterly sustained winds of 10-20 mph and gusts 20-35 mph, and minimum relative humidity of 10-25% are expected across the northern two-thirds of the Intermountain West. The strongest winds are likely across portions of central Wyoming where elevated to locally critical conditions are likely. Monsoon moisture is forecast to move into the Mojave Desert and southern Arizona Saturday bringing isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Farther east, southerly winds of 12-20 mph amid relative humidity of 15-25% and well above normal temperatures are expected on the southern Plains. In the East, the remnants of Francine will dissipate with lighter rain for the Lower Ohio Valley, while Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will see scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms. Well above normal temperatures and dry conditions will continue for much of the Great Lakes, central Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. However, relative humidity will continue to be moderate, and generally above 25%. However, downslope easterly winds of 10-15 mph will develop in the Upper Ohio Valley with relative humidity as low as 20% creating locally elevated conditions.
