The November 3 national wildfire report records one new large incident and one large fire newly contained. Initial-attack activity totaled 41 fires. Six large incidents remained uncontained, showing that new starts and progress on existing fires occurred within the same reporting period.

Personnel in the active-incident resource summary totaled 329, a reported reduction of 85. The equipment and crew totals were one crew, 30 engines and one helicopter. These assignments describe incidents covered by the operational table, rather than the entire national firefighting workforce.

The Northwest accounted for 128 personnel, the Southern Area for 114 and the Eastern Area for 78. National preparedness stayed at Level 1, although the Southern Area’s regional preparedness level was 2. National and regional readiness indicators therefore continued to differ.

The report is a dated operational snapshot. Its initial-attack count, active-incident staffing and containment measures describe different aspects of fire activity; none alone establishes conditions in an individual community. Figures should not be treated as a forecast for the remainder of the day.
