Wyoming’s Foot Creek fire is reported at 90% containment in the November 12 federal assessment, up from 36% the day before. Its area remains 683 acres, while assigned personnel fell from 60 to 34. The report describes minimal fire behavior and says this will be the last report unless significant activity occurs.
Nationwide, five large fires remain uncontained. The daily assessment records no new large incident and no newly contained large fire. Initial attack activity totals 47 fires, compared with 53 on Wednesday, while national preparedness stays at Level 1.
The active-incident resource table lists 405 personnel, down 65. The Eastern area fell by 29 to 58 personnel, the Rocky Mountain area by 26 to 34, and the Southern area by nine to 63. Staffing totals describe resources reported for the listed incidents, rather than the entire firefighting workforce.
