A loss in the fire community impacts us all. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the fallen firefighters in northern Idaho. A tragedy like this is unthinkable and they will never be forgotten.

Today marks the start of the Week of Remembrance, a time when the wildland fire community honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice. On this day in 2013, 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots lost their lives on the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona. As we begin this week of reflection, we invite you to honor the fallen by learning from the past and applying those lessons to keep our firelines safer today. Learn more about today’s focus and the firefighters we remember.

As we head into the 4th of July week, please help us prevent unwanted wildfires. Fireworks are never allowed on public lands, and even on private land, they can easily ignite dry grasses and vegetation. Sparklers alone burn at over 1,200 degrees, hot enough to cause third-degree burns and start fires. Celebrate safely by choosing alternatives like glow sticks or attending professional displays.

Across the country, 24 large wildfires are actively being suppressed, with another 61 fires, mostly in Alaska, being managed under strategies other than full suppression. A total of 5,134 wildland firefighters and support personnel are working hard to protect lives, property and natural resources.

While crews continue responding to wildfires here in the U.S., three incident management teams, five hotshot crews, and 70 overhead personnel are also helping out with large fires in Canada. It’s a reminder that fire, weather, and smoke don’t stop at borders, and that working together is the best way to face these challenges, no matter where they happen. See International Support for more information.

In southwest Utah, a new fuels and fire behavior advisory warns of very high fire danger. Fine fuels are extremely dry and continuous across the landscape, and recent lightning ignitions have shown rapid rates of spread. If you live, work, or recreate in the area, now is the time to stay alert and practice extra caution. Read the advisory for details.

The 2025 National Fire Year Themes remind us: it takes all of us. Through shared responsibility, innovation, and respect for fire’s natural role, we can reduce risk and protect what we value.

Weather

Temperatures 10-20⁰F are expected across much of the West today amid minimum relative humidity of 5-20%, with daily record high temperatures likely in the Southwest and southern Great Basin. Breezy southerly winds of 15-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph will develop across central and southern Nevada creating elevated conditions. Isolated to scattered mixed wet/dry thunderstorms will develop in northern California into southwest and south-central Oregon, with a few storms continuing overnight. Isolated dry thunderstorms will along the Oregon-Nevada border east into the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, while isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop in southeast Arizona into southwest Colorado. Isolated to scattered mixed and dry thunderstorms will develop in central and eastern New Mexico into West Texas, the Colorado Front Range, and southeast Wyoming. A cold front extending from Oklahoma to the Great Lakes will bring scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms from the Texas Panhandle northeast to the Great Lakes. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop from the northern Gulf Coast and Florida into the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, but the Carolina Coast and central Texas will remain dry. The warming trend will continue across the Alaska Interior, but isolated showers and thunderstorms remain possible in the eastern Interior and eastern Brooks Range.
