26478 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to wildfires nationwide, including 30 complex and 6 Type 1 incident management teams, 590 crews, 1,567 engines, numerous aviation resources, and four Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems, or MAFFS.

Active to extreme fire behavior is being reported across multiple geographic areas, with evacuation orders in effect on 23 wildfires. The Park Fire, near Chico, CA, reported 171,922 acres of growth yesterday. If you live in an area that has been evacuated, please follow the instructions from local authorities. They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures.

There are fuels and fire behavior advisories in place for Southwest Oregon, the region east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington, Nevada, Southern Idaho, Utah, and California. Residents, travelers, or workers on their way to any of these states should be advised and familiarize themselves with the elevated risks.

The national predictive services staff at the National Interagency Coordination Center released the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook for July through October. For additional information about the current outlook visit the Outlook page on the NICC site.

As we see numerous fires across the country growing very large and threatening communities, it is important to remember that initial attack on new fires remains of the utmost importance. The vast majority of fire starts are contained at small sizes within 24 hours of their discovery; these are the fires that do not ever get large enough to be included in the incident management summary report. Thus, having firefighters and firefighting resources available for initial attack, especially in areas where predictive services say there is a high likelihood for new starts, is also a critical consideration during the busiest part of the fire year, when there is such a strong need for resources to fight the biggest blazes.

Hot, dry and breezy conditions will continue from eastern portions of southern California into northwest Arizona, central and southern Utah, the West Slope and far southern Wyoming today. Despite slightly lower winds as compared to Saturday, a second day of intense drying should lead to an overall increase in risks. Wind gusts of 25-40 mph will be common, and temperatures will be slightly above normal, with minimum relative humidity likely to drop to as low as 3-8% in the afternoon. Early morning moisture recovery will also be abysmal, except in sheltered valleys. Moderate to high-risk significant fire potential will continue, with emerging holdovers and growth to existing incidents likely. Scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms, along with a few dry thunderstorms, are expected over western Montana into much of Wyoming into far eastern Idaho. Temperatures over the northern Intermountain West will remain a bit below normal, but dry air will prevail. Dense wildfire smoke will maintain areas of low visibility and poor air quality across some of the northern Intermountain West, as well. Monsoonal thunderstorms will generally be limited to southeast Arizona and portions of southern New Mexico. Most of the central and southern High Plains will see a drier and hotter day as high pressure aloft begins to strengthen over the region. Look for strong to severe thunderstorms in the northern and central Plains, with wet weather continuing over the Southeast. Aside from Florida, the rest of the East Coast into the eastern Great Lakes and Northeast will see dry and seasonably warm conditions. However, low pressure off the coast will bring showers and increasing winds to eastern New England late.

The World Health Organization is saying on July 23 that up to 14,000 people are needing medical evacuations from Gaza and is saying it is ''extremely worried'' that diseases could cause more deaths than war injuries after poliovirus is detected in the territory's sewage.

After multiple letters and an ongoing investigation, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, on Thursday issued a subpoena for information and documents from the Department of Education (ED) concerning the rollout of the 2024-25 FAFSA.

The Department of Education (ED) in a recent stakeholder call committed to providing applicants and contributors without Social Security Numbers (SSNs) with flexibility for the FSA ID process as a part of the 2025-26 form. The department shared that ED would continue to waive the manual identity validation process for applicants and contributors without a SSN, who will continue to manually enter their tax information for the upcoming cycle. During the 2024-25 FAFSA cycle many students were prevented from submitting their form when a contributor did not have an SSN and continued to run into glitches with the form.
