The National Preparedness Level increased to 4 (PL4) today, June 29, as significant wildland fire activity is occurring across multiple geographic areas, resulting in a substantial commitment of incident management teams.

The National Interagency Coordination Center is increasingly coordinating with geographic area coordination centers to prioritize and fill resource orders for all national resources, with a heavy demand being placed on lower-activity geographic areas to provide available resources.

Forecasts also indicate a continued high potential for new large fires to emerge across multiple geographic areas in the coming days.

Preparedness levels range from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), based on fire activity, weather, fuel conditions, and resource availability. Learn more about preparedness levels here: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information
