This map isn't a prediction. It's today's reality.

California remains one of the hardest-hit states when it comes to wildfire, and this map shows the growing impact across the western United States. This isn't an isolated event or a distant problem. It's real and it demands preparation, vigilance, and a shared responsibility. These fires affect communities, ecosystems, infrastructure, and lives.

What are we willing to lose?

The better question is: What are we willing to do—together—to protect what matters most?

Wildfire resilience begins with all of us. As wildfire risk continues to increase, so must our commitment to prevention and preparedness. Every responsible action taken to reduce fire risk helps
strengthen the safety of the entire community.

Be proactive:
• Reduce fire hazards around your home and property.
• Have an evacuation plan and emergency kit ready.
• Stay informed about local fire conditions and alerts.
• Follow fire restrictions and practice wildfire prevention every day.
• Become a part of your local Fire Safe Council or Firewise Community.

National Fire News: August 1, 2026. Initial attack activity yesterday was light, with 117 new fires reported. Firefighters are working to suppress and contain 84 large fires across the country, including three new large incidents since yesterday. A total of 26,808 firefighters and support personnel are engaged in nationwide fire activity, including 601 crews, 1,618 engines, and 203 helicopters.

So far this year, 44,256 fires have burned more than 4.9 million acres across the United States, exceeding the 10-year average for both the number of fires and acres burned. Fire activity continues to be elevated in the Northwest Geographic Area, which remains at Preparedness Level 5. The Northern Rockies is at Preparedness Level 4, with eight uncontained large fires and one new emerging large incident since yesterday, the Ant Park Fire.

Critical to extreme fire weather is expected today across the Inland Northwest and Northern Rockies as strong winds, very low humidity, and hot temperatures create conditions favorable for rapid fire growth. Existing fires may become more active, and any new fire starts could spread quickly.

Why should the public care? Residents and visitors in affected areas should avoid activities that could spark a wildfire, stay alert for changing fire conditions, and be prepared for possible smoke impacts, fire growth, or evacuation notices.
