March 7, 2024 – A Fuels and Fire Behavior Advisory (pdf) was released by the Southern, Rocky Mountain, and Southwest Area decision support groups in coordination with state and federal wildland fire management partners. The advisory is related to “extreme to unprecedented fire growth and intensity” due to current and predicted conditions within the advisory area. Across the region, unusually heavy grass fuel loading has aligned with dry and windy conditions that have led to unprecedented fire growth. You can find the current advisory and more on the National Interagency Coordination Center Predictive Services page. See below for the full advisory.
