Saturday wildfire assessment records more initial attacks and five uncontained large fires
The November 14 federal report lists 92 initial attacks, two new large incidents and one new containment.
The national wildfire picture became busier in Saturday’s federal assessment. Initial attack activity reached 92 fires, while five large fires remained uncontained. The November 14 report lists two new large incidents and one newly contained large fire. National preparedness stayed at Level 1, the lowest of the five levels.
The resource table records 503 personnel assigned to the incidents it covers, up 22 from the preceding report. The Southwest accounts for 271 personnel, while Southern-area staffing rose by eight to 78. These are reported incident resources, rather than a count of every firefighter available nationwide.
The Southern area recorded 44 new fires and one new large incident. Its newly listed Range 47 fire is in the National Forests in Mississippi, about 16 miles southeast of Hattiesburg. The assessment describes active fire behavior and threatened structures there. National preparedness and individual fire conditions measure different parts of the response.
