2011 Fire Season Summary 

Winter (December 2010 – February 2011)

A moderate to strong La Niña produced a season of extremes for much of the nation. The winter 

(December through February) of 2010-2011 was colder than normal for most of the eastern twothirds of the country. States hardest hit by the winter chill were mainly in the Southeast with 

Florida and parts of Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky 

all below normal. Florida was much below normal, recording its tenth coldest winter in 116 years. 

Cold temperatures reaching much further south than normal resulted in accumulations of frost 

killed vegetation across portions of the southeastern U.S. that would impact fuel loading and 

availability later in the spring. The western third of the country mostly had normal temperatures 

with parts of California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico seeing above 

normal temperatures. Alaska was only slightly above normal for the period. 

Most of the southeastern third of the country was drier than normal with precipitation deficits 

extending from the mid and lower Atlantic coast to the Front Range of the Rockies. Parts of the 

Great Lakes region were also below normal. Much of southern New Mexico, western Texas, 

Louisiana, Mississippi, northern Alabama, northern Georgia, western North and South Carolina, 

eastern Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and northern Michigan were much below normal. 

Louisiana and Mississippi recorded their third driest winters on record; Alabama and Virginia 

their seventh driest; Arkansas its eighth driest; North Carolina and Oklahoma their eleventh and 

twelfth driest, respectively. Most of the northern Plains, the northern and central Rockies, the 

Great Basin, southern California, eastern Oregon and western Washington received above 

normal precipitation. Much of Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota and parts of southern Nevada 

and Utah had much above normal precipitation, mostly from snow. Minnesota recorded its third 

wettest winter; South Dakota and North Dakota their fourth and sixth wettest, respectively; and 

Montana its ninth wettest. Alaska was wetter than normal, recording its tenth wettest February 

since 1918. The moisture regime described above resulted in near normal fuel crops across the 

southern tier of the United States and contributed to increased snow accumulations across the 

north that delayed the growth of fuel crops and crushed residual vegetation, especially in higher 

terrain.

The initial seasonal outlook reports for the Southern, Eastern, and Southwest Areas called for 

above normal fire potential across much of western Texas, eastern and southern New Mexico 

and far southeastern Arizona. Also above normal were Florida and coastal regions of Louisiana, 

Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Below normal fire potential was 

forecast for much of Kentucky and Tennessee and parts of northern Alabama and Mississippi 

and eastern Arkansas. Reports from the Seasonal Assessment workshops can be found at:

Predictive Services Outlooks.

By May 31 a total of 28,630 fires had burned 3,119,542 acres nationally. Compared to the 10-

year average this represents 92 percent of fires, but 240 percent of acres burned. Southern and 

Southwest Geographic Areas claimed the majority of fires and acres burned: 23,523 fires for 

2,789,626 acres.

Spring (March – May)

Strong westerly flow dominated the spring pattern across the U.S., effectively splitting the 

country between cold to the north and west and warm to the south and east. Temperatures were 

generally below normal across the Great Lakes, the northern and central Plains, the northern 

Rockies, the Northwest and Great Basin and most of California. Most of Oregon, Washington 

and the northern two-thirds of California were much below normal as were parts of southern 

Idaho, western Wyoming, northern Montana, and the North and South Dakota border area. 

Above normal temperatures covered most of the region east of the Mississippi River, Texas, 

Louisiana and most of New Mexico and Arizona. Much above normal temperatures covered 

southeast New Mexico, much of Texas and parts of Louisiana and Tennessee. Texas recorded 

its second warmest spring in 117 years; Delaware its fifth warmest; Louisiana its seventh 

warmest; New Mexico its eighth warmest; New Jersey its tenth warmest; and Maryland its 

eleventh warmest. On the cold side, Washington experienced its third coldest spring on record,

while Oregon had its fifth coldest. Regionally, it was the seventh coldest spring for the Northwest 

(Washington, Oregon, Idaho) and the eighth warmest spring for the South (Kansas, Oklahoma, 

Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi). High temperatures quickly transitioned fuels across 

the South through green-up and into a cured state. 

Precipitation extremes were largely split between the northern two-thirds of the country and the 

southern third. To the north, most areas experienced a wetter than normal spring with much 

above to record high precipitation amounts reported across much of New England, the Great 

Lakes, the Ohio Valley, the northern Rockies, the Great Basin and the Northwest. To the south, 

precipitation was below normal from southern California through the Gulf and mid-Atlantic coast 

states. Texas and most of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and parts of Kansas, Arizona and 

Georgia received much below to record low precipitation. Texas had its driest spring on record; 

New Mexico its third driest; and Louisiana its sixth driest. By contrast, Arkansas, which borders 

both Texas and Louisiana, had its tenth wettest spring, as did Maine. Nine states experienced 

their wettest springs on record (Washington, Wyoming, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, 

Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont); three states had their second wettest (Oregon, Montana 

and Michigan); and two states had their fifth wettest (Idaho and Utah). Alaska had its driest 

spring since records began in 1918. Regionally, the Northwest had its wettest spring while the 

northern Rockies and Plains, the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and New England had their 

second wettest springs. The South has is ninth driest spring on record. Nationally, March through 

May 2011 was the twelfth wettest spring on record, despite the extreme drought conditions in 

the South. Above normal precipitation coupled with below normal temperatures across the north 

kept fuels dormant through the early portion of the spring, however toward the end of the period 

promoted increased growth of fine fuels.

Snowpack also told a compelling story. Most of the West had much above to record snowfall, 

with late spring snowpack well over 150% of normal. The exception was the far southern Rockies 

of Arizona and New Mexico which were virtually snow-free midway through the season. For 

Alaska, the northern and central areas were near or above normal snowpack by late spring while 

the southern third of the state was below normal.

By the end of May, fire season 2011 could be described as below normal for fires across the 

contiguous U.S., but above normal for acres. Alaska experienced above normal fires and acres 

burned by the end of May. Nationally, a total of 28,630 fires had occurred, burning 3,119,542 

acres by May 31. This represents 92 percent of fires and 243 percent of acres burned compared 

to the 10-year national average. By that date Alaska reported 261 fires that burned 104,075 
6

acres, which is 141 percent of its 10-year fire average, and 128 percent of its 10-year average 

for acres burned. The Southern Geographic Area experienced 114 percent of its 10-year 

average number of fires, but 253 percent of burned acres. Rocky Mountain Area experienced 

115 percent of its 10-year average number of fires, and 314 percent of burned acres. The 

Southwest Area experienced 107 percent of its 10-year average number of fires, and 347 

percent of burned acres. All other Geographic Areas were near normal for fire starts and below 

their 10-year averages for acres burned.

Summer (June – August)

By the end of August, 53,870 fires had occurred, burning 6,956,042 acres. This represents 93 

percent of the total number of fires, but 121 percent of total acres burned as a compared to the 

10-year national average. Last year 10,577 fewer fires had occurred and 4,343,434 fewer acres 

had burned by August 31. Only three Geographic Areas experienced an above average number 

of fires, Alaska (101 percent), Southern California (105 percent) and Southern Area (117 

percent). Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Southern Areas all experienced above average acres 

burned (323 percent, 195 percent and 285 percent respectively). Alaska did not contribute 

significantly to the national fires and acres total, reporting just 492 fires for 292,000 acres burned. 

Southern Area was by far the most active Geographic Area by the end of August, with 61 percent 

of all reported fires and 50 percent of all burned acres.

 

The National Seasonal Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook for the period June through 

August called for above-normal significant fire potential Arizona, New Mexico, southwest Texas, 

Florida, southern Georgia and Alabama, the leeward side of the Hawaiian Islands, and portions 

of Alaska. Below normal significant fire potential was forecast for much of the northern tier states 

in the West, and portions of California, Utah and Colorado. The map below depicts the Seasonal 

Wildland Fire Potential Outlook with significant fires that occurred from June through August.

The weather pattern for the summer was dominated by a large ridge of high pressure draped 

over the center of the country, baking much of the southern and eastern parts of the nation. The 

southern Plains were especially hard hit with Texas and Oklahoma receiving the brunt of the 

heat wave. Temperatures were above normal across virtually all but the western part of the 

country. Most of the southern and southeastern states recorded above normal temperatures. 

Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana recorded their warmest summers on record. 

Fifteen other states, from the Rockies to the East Coast, had summers that ranked among their 

top ten warmest. Only two states, Washington and Oregon, experienced below normal 

temperatures. Regionally, the South had its warmest summer on record; the Southeast had its 

second warmest on record; and the Southwest had its fifth warmest on record. Nationally, JuneAugust 2011 was the second warmest summer on record. Alaska was near normal. During the 

summer, all states across the contiguous U.S., with the exception of North Dakota and Vermont, 

had at least one day with maximum temperatures exceeding 100 degrees F. Eleven states had 

at least one weather station recording maximum temperatures of 100 degrees F or more on 40 

or more days during the summer (based on preliminary data). 

Precipitation deficits continued to plague the south with Texas recording its driest summer on 

record; New Mexico its second driest; Oklahoma its third driest; Georgia and South Carolina 

their sixth driest. At summer’s end, drought covered one-third of the contiguous United States,

with 11 percent of the country, including 81 percent of Texas, in exceptional drought, the worst 

drought category assigned. Tree ring analysis of Texas dating back over 425 years showed that 

the summer 2011 drought in the state was equaled only by the summer of 1789. However, not 
7

every part of the U.S. was dry. Thanks to Hurricane Irene, several northeastern states 

experienced among their wettest summers on record. New Jersey had its wettest summer, with 

Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut ranking in their top ten wettest summers. Farther 

west, heavy early summer rains in the northern Plains gave North Dakota its ninth wettest 

summer. And on the West Coast, an unusual early summer storm helped give California its 

wettest summer on record. Regionally, the South had its fourth driest summer while the 

Northeast recorded its tenth wettest summer. Nationally, summer 2011 was the fifteenth driest 

summer on record. As temperatures rose and precipitation dipped across the west it became 

evident that fine fuel loadings were above normal, especially in the north. These fine fuel crops 

were both heavier and more continuous. Cool and moist weather throughout the spring and early 

summer had delayed fire occurrence for much of the west but as fires began to occur it was 

observed that even though they were later than normal they had potential to be more intense 

and more difficult to extinguish because of the loading and continuity of fuels that had developed.

Fall (September – October)

High pressure maintained its hold on the western U.S. while a series of troughs carved out a 

section in the central and southeastern part of the U.S., clearly defined by an area of below 

normal temperatures for September stretching from the central Gulf coast states to the Great 

Lakes and extending westward into the central and northern Plains. Temperatures were two to 

four degrees below normal with a few locations in Plains as much as four to eight degrees below 

normal. Temperatures were two to six degrees above normal across most of the West, New 

England and Texas with parts of the Northwest and the northern Rockies reaching six to eight 

degrees above normal. Precipitation in the western two-thirds of the nation was largely below 

normal, with most areas receiving less than 50 percent of normal rainfall. Tropical Storm Lee 

proved both beneficial and destructive in the eastern third of the country. A weak, slow-moving 

storm, Lee brought above normal rainfall from the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama coasts 

through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys to New England. Rainfall exceeded two to three times 

the normal rainfall for the month in just 10 days, causing severe flooding for most of the affected 

areas. 

A significant change in fuel conditions occurred across much of the West in the latter part of 

September. Cooler temperatures and increasing humidity coupled with shorter days and burning 

periods caused indices and fuel moistures to dip to normal or below normal. Drought conditions 

persisted across a portion of the Great Lakes region causing above normal significant fire 

potential until the early portion of October. Drought persistence also continued across much of 

the southern U.S. from Texas through North Carolina. The lee side of the Hawaiian Islands will 

also remain in a drought.

High pressure across the central U.S. in early October slowly gave way to a slow-moving trough 

that crossed from west to east over the course of the month. This pattern ushered in fall and 

brought much needed rain to the drought-stricken South but also more flooding to the Northeast. 

Temperatures remained warm for most of the country, generally two to six degree above normal. 

However, extreme warmth in the upper Midwest and far northeast early in the month drove 

monthly average temperatures to six to eight degrees above normal across parts of Minnesota, 

Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. At the other extreme, the strong trough that 

settled into the eastern U.S. by mid-month dropped temperatures to much below normal over 

the south by as much two to four degrees with parts of Alabama and Georgia plummeting more 

than four degrees below normal. The western states, especially in the Northwest, had pockets 

of temperatures two to four degrees below normal. Precipitation was mixed; some much needed 
8

and some in already saturated areas. The extreme to exceptional drought areas from central 

and southeast Texas to central Oklahoma received three to six inches of rain, which is 150 to 

300 percent of normal for this 30 day period in some parts. However, this did very little at mitigate 

the long-term drought conditions. The northern and central Rockies, the high plains of Kansas 

and Nebraska, and much of California received above normal precipitation, especially the high 

country where some of the first snows of the season occurred. 

Hurricane Support

The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season experienced above-normal tropical activity for the summer. 

Through September 9, there were 14 names storms (six is normal), two hurricanes (three is the 

norm) and two major, or Category 3, hurricanes (one is the norm). Three storms hit the mainland 

U.S., including Irene (August 20-28), a Category 3 storm which, after barreling through Puerto 

Rico, made landfall at Cape Lookout, North Carolina, on August 27, then moved over open water 

before making landfall a second time at Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey, and then a third landfall at 

New York City, both on August 28. Irene battered much of the Northeast with record rainfall and 

major flooding. Other storms that struck the U.S. mainland were Tropical Storm Lee (landfall at 

Pecan Island, Louisiana, on September 4) and Tropical Storm Don (landfall near Baffin Bay, 

Texas, on July 29 as a depression). The early season forecasts called for an above normal 

season with 12-18 named storms (11 is normal), six to ten hurricanes (six is normal) and three 

to six major (Category 3 or greater) storms (two is normal). Three incident management teams 

were mobilized to New York and Massachusetts following Hurricane Irene. Type 1 and Type 2 

teams were assigned to New York from late August to September. A Minnesota Type 2 team 

was assigned to Massachusetts at the same time.

National Fire Activity Synopsis

The 2011 fire season was slightly below normal for number of reported wildfires (98 percent of 

the 10-year average). There were 74,126 wildfires reported nationally (compared to 71,971 

wildfires reported in 2010). The number of acres burned in 2011 was 8,711,367, or 124 percent

of the national 10-year average. Southern Geographic Area led the nation with over 1.8 million 

acres burned.

Based on a 10-year average, only two Geographic Areas reported above average fire 

occurrences in 2011: Southern and Southern California Geographic Areas. But Eastern, Rocky 

Mountain, Southern, Southwest and Western Great Basin Geographic Areas all experienced 
9

above average acres burned in 2011. Forty-one fires or complexes exceeded 40,000 acres in 

size in 2011, compared to nine in 2010, 27 in 2009, and 24 in 2008 (see Significant Fire Activity 

below for a list of those fires). 

A total of 5,246 structures were destroyed by wildfires in 2011, including 3,459 residences, 1,711

outbuildings and 76 commercial structures. This is well above the annual average of 1,354

residences, 1,199 outbuildings and 45 commercial structures destroyed nationally by wildfires

(data from 1999 to present). Texas alone accounted for 2,725 residences, 449 outbuildings and 

48 commercial structures lost to wildfires in 2011.

The 2011 fire season resulted in an average demand for firefighting resources through the 

National interagency Coordination Center. The demand for crews and helicopters (all types) was 

below both the five and ten year averages. But demand for engines and air tankers were well 

above average, largely due to the fire activity in Southern and Southwest Geographic Areas. In 

fact, air tanker mobilizations were 153 percent above the 10-year average (including MAFFS).

Type 1 teams were mobilized 37 times (up from 10 the previous year) and spent 520 days on 

assignments (up from 92 days the previous year). This includes one Hurricane Irene assignment 

to New York. All 16 teams had at least one assignment. Type 2 Teams were mobilized 114 times

(up from 65 the previous year), for a total of 1,245 days assigned, up from 672 days the previous 

year (figures include both national and regional teams). Three of the four Area Command teams 

were each mobilized once in 2011. All four National Incident Management Organizations (NIMO) 

were mobilized 11 times in 2011. In 2010 there were no Area Command assignments, and just 

six NIMO assignments.

Military and International Resource Mobilizations

Military: Four military C-130 Modular Airborne Firefighting System (MAFFS) activations

occurred in 2011 in support of wildland fire suppression in Mexico, Texas, the Southwest and 

other parts of the West. The first mobilization to Texas occurred on April 15 to suppress fires 

burning in Mexico. Two MAFFS flew 37 sorties into Mexico from April 16 to April 23, and dropped 

105,000 gallons of retardant. 

The second activation involved MAFFS from California, North Carolina, Colorado and Wyoming. 

These aircraft flew 101 sorties from April 17 to May 4 in Texas and dropped a total of 315,000 

gallons of retardant.

The third MAFFS activation occurred from June 15 to July 13 and involved six MAFFS from 

California, North Carolina and Colorado at different times during this period. These aircraft were 

based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and flew a total of 287 sorties and dropped 610,173 gallons 

of retardant in Arizona and New Mexico. 

The fourth MAFFS activation occurred on September 8 and involved six MAFFS from Colorado, 

Wyoming and North Carolina (two from each state). The Wyoming MAFFS were based in Boise, 

Idaho, and flew 13 sorties, dropping 5,439 gallons of retardant in Idaho and Oregon. The other 

four MAFFS were based in Austin, Texas, and flew 92 sorties, dropping 154,250 gallons of 

retardant in Texas. The Wyoming MAFFS were released on September 18. The North Carolina 

MAFFS were released on September 22, and the Colorado MAFFS were released on 

September 30.
10

International: Canada provided five Convair 580 air tankers and three aerial supervision 

modules (“Bird Dogs”) from Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The first contingent of 

aircraft arrived in the U.S. on August 27, and the last aircraft departed on October 29. Manitoba 

also provided a CL-215 and CL-415 water scoopers, and a Bird Dog to the Pagami Creek fire in 

Minnesota. These aircraft were assigned from September 14 to September 27.

Canada also provided a contingent of 20 Smokejumpers from British Columbia to Montana on 

August 27. Eight were released on September 13, and the remaining jumpers were released on 

September 29. The Smokejumpers were based in Missoula and jumped fires in Montana and 

Idaho.
