#NationalFireNews: January 17, 2025. No new large fires have been reported nationwide since yesterday. Fire behavior nationwide was reported yesterday as minimal, and the Hurst Fire in southern California is now listed as 100% ... contained. Sufficient firefighting resources have mobilized within or from outside Southern California to allow many resources to be reassigned to staging for initial attack on new fires (especially crucial during red flag warnings).
Please find the #EatonFire and #HurstFire on InciWeb and the #PalisadesFire on the CALFIRE website for current information about these fires, including resources for those seeking or offering support after the devastating losses that have occurred there.
A new fuels and fire behavior advisory has been issued by California's South Ops Coordination Center, covering the south coast and adjacent inland mountains. Notably, this is the earliest in the calendar year that such an advisory has ever been issued. The document highlights extraordinary fuels dryness, resulting from a dearth of precipitation over the past several months. The failed onset of Southern California's normal fall/winter "wet season" significantly exacerbated fuels dryness carrying forward from 2024, contributing to extreme fire behavior with catastrophic consequences.

Welcome to the Nation's Logistical Support Center
The United States federal wildland fire community is a vast network of dedicated public servants, made up of the combined wildland fire workforces of the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Together, these agencies manage wildland fire on nearly 700 million acres of federal public land, approximately one-fifth of the total land area in the United States.
NIFC is home to the national wildland fire management programs of these federal agencies, in addition to partners including the National Association of State Foresters, the U.S. Fire Administration, the National Weather Service, and the Department of Defense. These entities work together to provide leadership, policy oversight, and coordination to the nation’s wildland fire programs.
In recent years, the shared mission at NIFC has grown to include all types of fire management, including hazardous fuels treatments, integrated fire and land-use planning, and more. Fire management under this larger and more diverse umbrella aims not only to achieve fire suppression goals, but to accomplish a broad spectrum of natural resource objectives in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
