Wildland fire activity across the country was minimal yesterday.

Weather Discussion: Much cooler temperatures are expected today behind a cold front moving across the Great Basin and into the Rockies. Gusty winds will develop in many places across the West associated with this storm system. Widespread rain and mountain snow will accompany the cold front. The Northeast and Florida will continue to see scattered showers, while the remainder of the East will remain dry.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
