National Fire News: The latest Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook is out today, August 1, from Predictive Services at NIFC, providing a look at significant fire potential across the country for the next four months.
Much of the West is forecast to experience above normal potential (shown in red on the map) in August and September, meaning a higher-than-usual chance of significant wildfires. Areas in white indicate normal potential, where wildfires should be expected to occur at typical times and levels.
The main objectives of these outlooks are to improve information available to fire management decision makers. These assessments are designed to inform decision makers for proactive wildland fire management, thus better protecting lives and property, reducing firefighting costs, and improving firefighting efficiency.
