Initial attack activity totals 53 fires, up from 25 in the preceding report. The Southern area accounts for 23 of the new fires and both new large incidents. Its listings include Campbell Glassman Way, about ten miles north of Caryville, Tennessee, where structures are reported threatened.
The active-incident resource table lists 470 personnel, a net increase of seven. Southern-area staffing rose by nine to 72, while the Northwest and Eastern areas each declined by one. These are the resources reported for incidents in the table, separate from the count of fires needing an initial response.
