🚨 NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL RAISED TO PL5 🚨

As of 7:30 a.m. on July 18, the National Multi-Agency Coordination Group (NMAC) has raised the nation to Preparedness Level 5 (PL5)—the highest national wildfire preparedness level in the United States.

A PL5 designation signifies that wildfire activity has reached extreme levels across the country. Firefighting resources are heavily committed, with multiple large and complex incidents occurring simultaneously. As a result, the availability of additional crews, engines, aircraft, incident management teams, and specialized equipment may become increasingly limited as agencies prioritize resources where they are needed most.

This is a reminder of the tremendous demands being placed on our wildland firefighters and support personnel. Stay informed, be prepared, and do your part to help prevent human-caused wildfires.

Stay safe. Stay vigilant.

Hot, dry conditions are expected to continue into July. Please use your , follow fire restrictions, and do your part to prevent human-caused wildfires.

Sparklers can reach temperatures of about 2,000 degrees F- hot enough to melt some metals. Handle with care and keep them away from clothing, dry grass, and other combustible materials.
