Friday’s federal wildfire assessment lists four uncontained large fires, compared with five on Thursday. It records two newly classified large incidents and two newly contained large fires. Initial attack activity rose to 65 fires from the previous report’s 47, while national preparedness remained at Level 1.

The active-incident resource table lists 481 personnel, an increase of 76. The Southwest area accounts for 271, up 41, and the Northwest for 48, up 28. Southern-area staffing rose by seven to 70. The table describes resources reported for the included incidents.

The Southern area recorded 50 of the new fires and one new large incident. Its incident list includes Red Hill in the National Forests in Mississippi, about nine miles northeast of Brooklyn. The national figures combine multiple regions and should be read separately from the conditions reported at any particular fire.
