WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION

If you are interested in Wildland fire information for business, pleasure or nostalgia there are two websites that provide easily accessible current information about what is going on around the nation and in Canada.

First, for current media stories and first hand comments from the people fighting fire go to: http://wildlandfire.com and hit the button called "Current Wildlandfire News".

This website has a wide range of fire information beyond the media reports, including an extensive photo gallery. It is a non-profit site operated by a fire person somewhere in California.

Second, for the daily National Interagency Fire Center daily report of current fire activity go to: http://www.Wildfirenews.com/  and hit the HTML under NIFC Situation Report.

In previous years the Sit Report was available in an easy to read format directly from the NIFC website, but something has changed. Now you have to go through Adobe Reader to see the report, and it is not easy to read, especially by older eyes...John Marker
