Preface

Statistics used in this report were gathered from the interagency Fire and Aviation 

Management Web Applications (FAMWEB) system, which includes the Situation Report 

and Incident Status Summary (ICS-209) programs. Previous National Interagency 

Coordination Center (NICC) annual reports and other sources were also used in this 

document. The statistics presented here are intended to provide a national perspective 

of annual fire activity but may not reflect official figures for a specific agency. The statistics 

are delineated by agency and Geographic Area. Pie chart figures are rounded to the 

nearest whole percentage point. This document and prior year annual reports are 

available electronically on NICC’s Intelligence web page.

For agency-specific details or official data contact the individual agency.

Resource mobilization statistics used in this report were gathered from the interagency

Resource Ordering and Status System (ROSS), which tracks tactical, logistical, service 

and support resources mobilized by the national incident dispatch coordination system. 

Statistics presented in this report are the resources requested by one of the ten

Geographic Area Coordination Centers and processed through NICC. Requests by FEMA 

are placed to NICC through Emergency Support Function (ESF) #4 (Firefighting). The 

resource ordering process and procedures may be found in the National Mobilization 

Guide. The National Mobilization Guide can be found at the NICC Reference Documents 

web page.

2015 Fire Environment Summary

Winter (December 2014 – February 2015)

The winter months took a huge shift from very warm December 2014 to very cold late 

January and February. Major snowstorms struck the East with snow measured in feet in 

the northeastern states. Frigid cold across the Midwest and New England balanced above 

normal temperatures in the West. Several storms also struck the West with rain on the 

West Coast and snow in the Interior West. Parts of drought-stricken California and Arizona 

were teased with brief rains in December and February but not enough to put a dent in 

the deficits.

Precipitation was below normal for most of the eastern half of the United States and a 

large portion of the western U.S. The central and southern Rockies and the central Plains 

observed well above normal precipitation for the period. Severe to exceptional drought 

remained over most California, western Nevada, southern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, 

and parts of North Texas and western Oklahoma. 

Wet weather patterns across the southern U.S. kept fuels wet through most of the 

Southern Area. However, a drier-than-normal trend emerged during January in Oklahoma 

where weather-driven events sparked some short duration peaks in fire activity. Fuel 

moistures dropped across portions of Minnesota and Missouri through the first half of the 

winter. In the Southwest, little concern for early fire season existed and overall a below 

normal start to the fire season occurred in the Area. The remainder of the U.S. was out 

of fire season. Some sporadic activity occurred, especially in fine fuels but generally

minimal fire activity occurred in the winter.

Spring (March – May)

Dry conditions continued to plague the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, 

keeping precipitation below normal. Much different conditions prevailed over most of the 

central states as much above normal precipitation fell across the Interior West, the 

southern and central Rockies, the southern Plains and the southern Mississippi Valley. 

After a snowy winter, precipitation was below normal across much of the Eastern 

Seaboard with New England much below normal. 

Temperatures in the West and Alaska were above normal for the Spring while the 

southern Rockies and southern Plains were below normal with stormy and wet conditions 

for the three month period. New England, despite being dry, was also cooler than normal 

while the Southeast observed much above normal temperatures.

Drought continued through the West, spreading deeper into the interior and farther north 

into the Pacific Northwest. Alaska was also suffering drought conditions. Heavy rains in 

the south central U.S. during the Spring all but eliminated drought in Texas and Oklahoma. 

However, increasing precipitation deficits in the Upper Midwest triggered drought 
4

conditions in the northern Great Lakes region. Wet weather continued across the 

southern U.S. keeping fuels wet through most of the Southern Area. However, in 

Oklahoma weather-driven events led to short duration peaks in fire activity. Fuel 

moistures and drier-than-usual conditions across portions of the Mississippi and Missouri 

River areas as well as the Great Lakes did not increase the likelihood for early season 

pre green-up fires as expected. Significant fire potential was low for most of the Southwest 

entering the spring season. Fuels were abundant in many areas, but precipitation inputs 

kept fire activity below normal. Southern California began to see fuel conditions become 

a concern thanks in large part to long term drought. Dry conditions gradually spread 

northward into summer. Limited snowpack in Alaska led to fuels becoming exposed 

earlier than usual which in turn lead to drier-than-usual conditions early. The remainder 

of the U.S. continued out of fire season conditions. Pre green-up fire activity caused 

some concern in March and April across the Great Plains.

Summer (June – August)

The summer was characterized by an intense ridge that sat over the western half of North 

America, bringing very hot and dry conditions to much of the western U.S. and Alaska. A 

series of tropical systems from the Pacific brought much needed rain to California and 

parts of the Southwest. A period of relatively cool conditions developed in mid-summer in 

much of the West before the upper ridge returned with the extreme heat. However, 

trapped moisture under the ridge created stormy conditions for the region. Weakening 

ridge conditions over Alaska allowed cooler and much wetter conditions to develop toward 

the end of the summer. The Northwest and northern Rockies remained much drier than 

normal under the intense ridge. 

In the central and eastern U.S., relatively cooler conditions prevailed through the Plains 

and Midwest while the south had near normal temperatures. Precipitation was much 

above normal across the main storm track through the upper and mid-Mississippi and 

Ohio Valleys and into New England and the Mid-Atlantic region. Drier conditions develop 

along the Gulf and Southeast Atlantic coasts. 

Drought continued to intensify and expand in the West with severe to exceptional drought 

across California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah and much of Idaho. 

Fire danger indices in the interior of Alaska continued to indicate the potential for 

significant fire activity in June, which came to fruition in late June and early July. Alaska’s 

fire season continued later into the year than is normally expected thanks to the elevated 

conditions that were currently in place. During the last week of June, moisture moved 

into the Southwest in earnest, greatly reducing fire potential for Arizona and New Mexico. 

East of the divide, fuels remained moist and provided limited potential for fire growth. 

West of the divide fuels supported large fires, however, generally did not cause for fire 

control problems. Fire danger indices remained well below seasonal averages across 

the entire Rocky Mountain Area. The warm and dry winter and spring led to very dry fuels 

across the Northwest. Fire danger was unusually high. In Northern California, the long-
5

term drought and occasional brief periods of hot and dry weather allowed fuels to return 

to drier-than- normal levels rather quickly in the absence of precipitation. In Southern 

California native brush and shrubs showed renewed leaf growth while a fine carpet of 

new grass covered some lower elevations. Live fuels remained moist, but dead fuels 

resumed low fuel moistures by the middle of August. Dead fuel moistures in northern 

Idaho and western Montana continued at very dry values. For the Great Basin, sagebrush 

live fuel moisture decreased to normal, or even below normal in some areas, despite the 

moisture. In the east fuel moistures were at or below the 90th percentile across the 

majority of the Eastern Area. For the Southeast fire activity remained well below average.

Autumn (September – December)

By September, a series of troughs moved through the West, bringing periodic rain and 

snows with increasing frequency. Heavy rain and snow were observed along the West 

Coast from northern California to Washington in November and December. A late season 

tropical system brought heavy rains to the Southwest and Great Basin. Frontal systems 

that dropped to the southeastern U.S. brought prolonged rain events to the region. For 

the season, most of the U.S. had above normal precipitation with only southern California 

showing significant deficits. Most of the Southwest experienced near or below normal 

temperatures while the Northwest had warmer conditions than average. In the central and 

eastern U.S., much warmer than normal conditions prevailed despite the increases in 

rainfall. 

The abundant rainfall around the country greatly reduced drought over the central and 

eastern U.S. and across parts of the Northwest. However, severe to exceptional drought 

remained firmly in place across most of the California, western Nevada, southern Oregon, 

and in pockets over western Montana, Idaho, and Utah.

Throughout the majority of the western U.S. conditions moderated to normal fall-like 

conditions. This meant occasional initial attack periods and a few significant fires. Fuels 

across the northern tier moderated significantly with precipitation inputs occurring 

throughout September. For California, precipitation inputs were less significant and not 

enough to overcome long term drought. The Southern plains experienced some short 

term dryness. East of the Mississippi impacts from El Niño kept conditions below normal 

though most of the fall and winter.

Hurricane and Other Non-Fire Incident Support

The 2015 Atlantic Hurricane season ended with 11 named storms, four of which became 

hurricanes. Two storms-Danny and Joaquin-became major hurricanes. Only one storm, 

Tropical Storm Ana, made landfall in the continental U.S.

In the Eastern Pacific, there were 18 named storms with 13 hurricanes, well above 

average. Of those, nine were major hurricanes. This was the highest number of major 

hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific since 1971.

National Fire Activity Synopsis

The 2015 fire season was below normal for number of reported wildfires (93 percent of 

the 10-year annual average). There were 68,151 wildfires reported nationally (compared 

to 63,612 wildfires reported in 2014). The number of acres burned in 2015 was 

10,125,149 acres or 145 percent of the national 10-year average. Alaska led the nation 

with 5.1 million acres burned (420 percent of its 10-year average). 

Based on an annual 10-year average, Alaska (154%), Northwest (130%), Northern 

Rockies (130%), and Northern California (111%) reported above average fire 

occurrences in 2015. Eastern Area experienced normal fire occurrence (100%), while 

Southern California (94%), Southern Area (85%), Great Basin (77%), Rocky Mountain 

(76%), and Southwest (72%) all experienced below normal fire occurrences.

Alaska (420% percent), Northwest (229%), Northern California (163%) and Northern 

Rockies (139%) were the only Geographic Areas to experience above average acres 

burned. All other Geographic Areas were below their annual average acres. Fifty-two fires 

exceeded 40,000 acres in 2015; forty-three more than in 2014 (see Significant Fire 

Activity below for a list of those fires). 

A total of 4,636 structures were destroyed by wildfires in 2015, including 2,638

residences, 29 multiple residences, 1,849 minor structures, 111 commercial structures

and 9 mixed commercial/residential structures. This is above the annual average of 1,449 

residences, 1,248 minor structures, and 53 commercial structures destroyed by wildfire 

with this year ranking 5th in total structures lost (data from 1999 to present). California 

accounted for the highest number of structures lost in one state in 2015: 1,892 residences, 

27 multiple residences, 67 commercial structures, 1,086 minor structures, and three

mixed commercial-residential structures. Washington was second with 343 residences 23

commercial structures and 182 minor structures. 

Requests for firefighting resources placed to the National Interagency Coordination 

Center during the 2015 fire season were right at or higher than the 10-year average in 

most categories. Filled requests for overhead, engines, type 2 helicopters and heavy air 

tankers exceeded their respective 10-year averages.

National Type 1 teams were mobilized 39 times (up from 33 in 2014) and spent 572 days 

on assignments (up from 411 days in 2014). All 16 national teams had between one and 

four assignments each. Type 2 Teams were mobilized 121 times (up from 98 in 2014), 

for a total of 1,537 days assigned to incidents (up from 971 days in 2014). (Figures include 

both national and state teams.) Area Command team were mobilized eight times for a 

total of 85 days assigned in 2015. National Incident Management Organizations (NIMO) 

mobilized 12 times in 2015 to both wildland fire and non-fire incidents.

Military and International Resource Mobilizations

Military: On August 4, four MAFFS units were activated through a Request for Assistance 

(RFA) to the Department of Defense. This request was filled with two MAFFS from the 

146th Airlift Wing and two MAFFS from the 302nd Airlift Wing were positioned at McClellan, 

CA in support wildland fire operations. On August 9 the two MAFFS from the 146th Airlift 

Wing were released back to the DOD. On August 15 one MAFFS unit from each of the 

153rd Airlift Wing and the 145th Airlift Wing were also positioned to McClellan, CA. On 

August 23 two additional MAFFS from the 302nd Airlift Wing were mobilized to Channel 

Islands, CA. On September 3 the two MAFFS from the 302nd Airlift Wing were released 

back to the DOD and the single MAFFS units from the 153rd Airlift Wing and the 145th

Airlift Wing were re-positioned to Channel Islands California. All MAFFS units were 

released back to the DOD on September 12. MAFFS units primarily provided retardant 

delivery to the Northern California and Southern California Geographic Areas while 

employed from August 3 through September 12. These units delivered a total of 842,983 

gallons of retardant while conducting 372 sorties. This is up from 2014 when 88 sorties

were flown delivering 246,854 gallons of retardant.

Beginning August 18, two-hundred soldiers from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade based out 

of Fort Lewis Washington were trained as firefighters, and then assigned to wildfires within 

Washington State for thirty days.

International: Through the NIFC-CIFFC Agreement the U.S. provided crews, overhead 

and an airtanker to the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. On July 5 a heavy 

airtanker mobilized to Alberta. The airtanker was released back to the U.S. on July 14. 

On July 10 the U.S. mobilized three crews and seven overhead personnel to Alberta as 

well as two crews and twenty-three overhead personnel to Saskatchewan. These 

resources were released back to the U.S. on July 27. On July 19 the U.S. mobilized an 

additional five crews to Alberta. These crews were released back to the U.S. on August 

4.

Through the NIFC-CIFFC Agreement Canada provided crews, overhead and air tankers 

to the U.S. On August 20 five crews from the province of Ontario, one Convair 580 

airtanker group from both Saskatchewan and Alberta were mobilized to the Northern 

Rockies Geographic Area. On August 22 one CL415 scooper group from Ontario joined 

the fire suppression efforts in the Northern Rockies Geographic Area. On August 27, fifty 

eight overhead from Alberta and Ontario mobilized to the Northern Rockies Area. On 

August 31 an additional CL-415 scooper group from Ontario Canada was mobilized to 

the Northern Rockies Geographic Area and then was re-assigned to the Great Basin 

Geographic Area on September 2. On September 7 the five crews from Ontario and two

CL-415 scooper groups were released back to Canada. On September 8 both Convair 

580 airtanker groups were released back to Canada. On September 9 all fifty-eight 

overhead were released back to Canada.

On August 27 sixty-eight overhead personnel from Australia and New Zealand were 

mobilized to support fire suppression operations in the Northwest Geographic Area. On

September 27 all Australian and New Zealand overhead personnel were released back 

to their home countries.
