CURRENT SITUATION:
New large fires were reported in the Southern Area. Initial attack activity
was moderate in Florida, southern California and New Mexico, and light
elsewhere. The National Interagency Coordination Center mobilized
helicopters, airtankers, a lead plane, infrared aircraft, engines,
meteorological equipment, crews, a Buying Team, and miscellaneous overhead.
Very high to extreme fire indices were reported in New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, California, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Mississippi.
A helicopter working for Florida State Division of Forestry crashed while
doing bucket work on a fire near Fort Myers, FL. The pilot did not survive.
The entire fire community extends condolences to the family and friends of
the pilot.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
An Area Command Team (Harbour) is assigned to manage the large fires in
northern Arizona. A Type II Incident Management Team (Bustamante) is

Mexico.
VIVEASH, Santa Fe National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Bateman) is assigned. This fire is burning in ponderosa pine and mixed
conifer five miles northwest of Pecos, NM. Crews held the fireline and
mopped up along the perimeter of the fire. A secondary line was completed
from Elk Mountain south toward Evergreen Valley.
PUMPKIN, Kaibab National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
