The national wildfire report issued at 7:30 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time on October 28 recorded three new large incidents and one large fire contained. Initial-attack activity totaled 78 fires, while ten large fires remained uncontained.

The active-incident resource summary listed 862 personnel, a decline of 122 from the preceding report. Assigned resources included ten crews, 47 engines and four helicopters. National preparedness remained at Level 1, although individual coordination areas had different preparedness levels.

In South Carolina, the newly listed Hewitt Lane fire was reported seven miles south of Georgetown. It covered 109 acres and was 60 percent contained. The narrative described active behavior, including wind-driven runs and torching, rather than treating the national preparedness rating as a local safety assessment.

These figures are a dated operational snapshot. Containment percentages and personnel assignments can change after reporting, and national statistics do not establish conditions in every community. The new incidents raise the uncontained total even as overall assigned staffing declined.
