National Wildland Fire Preparedness Level (PL)
The National Wildland Fire Preparedness Level (PL) is at its lowest level of 1. This PL began on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. Mountain Time.
At National Preparedness Level One, all the Geographic Areas can accomplish incident management objectives utilizing local resources and/or with little to no national support. There is little risk of drawing down capabilities to support incident operations because of the following:
Conditions are not favorable to support significant wildland fire activity in most Geographic Areas.
Resource capability is adequate with little or no mobilization of resources occurring through the National Incident Coordination Center (NICC).
Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is expected to remain minimal.
Further information on National Wildland Fire Preparedness Levels 1 - 5 can be found on the NIFC Website (PDF, 936 KB).
InciWeb
InciWeb is an interagency all-risk incident information management system. The web-based program provides information for wildland fire emergencies and prescribed fires, but can also be used for other natural disasters and emergency incidents such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.
The system was developed with two primary missions:
Provide the public a single source of incident related information; and
Provide a standardized reporting tool for the public affairs community
Official announcements include evacuations, road closures, news releases, maps, photographs, and basic information and current situation about the incident.
Interactive Wildfire Map
Get the latest incident specific wildfire data, including personnel count, cost, acres, percent contained and structures threatened, from the National Wildfire Coordinating Group's map.
National Interagency Fire Center
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), located in Boise, Idaho, is the nation's support center for wildland firefighting. Eight different agencies and organizations are part of NIFC. Decisions are made using the interagency cooperation concept because NIFC has no single director or manager.
