This front will move through the Great Lakes today and Northeast Saturday with light to moderate mixed precipitation. Across the Southeast, gusty winds are also forecast today through the weekend, but recent rainfall is expected to mitigate much of the fire threat. However, elevated to locally critical conditions are possible across central and southern Florida this weekend where rainfall has been scattered and light. Meanwhile, strong upper ridging will continue over the West into the weekend with record high temperatures.Early next week, a deep upper trough will move into the West and then emerge onto the Plains midweek. Light to moderate precipitation, with high elevation snow, is likely across much of the West Monday into Tuesday. Ahead of the trough, elevated to critical conditions are expected to develop over the Southwest and adjacent High Plains Monday, then spread to much of the southern and central Plains midweek. Farther east, widespread precipitation is likely mid to late week from the eastern Plains to the East Coast with severe thunderstorms possible from eastern Texas and Oklahoma into the Southeast. and Fuels Make Escape to Safety Zones DifficultOperational Engagement CategoryWhen fighting wildland fires, it is often easy to get committed to areas that put you in Watch Out Situation #17. As firefighters progress along the fireline, it is imperative to constantly keep the following considerations in mind:Retreat times should be based on the slowest member of the crew.Does the crew’s condition allow for fast travel? Discuss physical and mental conditions that could interfere with a crew’s ability to travel quickly.Will you get adequate warning to make it to your safety zone? Who will you rely on to warn you? How will you ensure that everyone gets the word?Can escape routes be improved to make travel to safety zones faster? Are escape routes marked? Review what you have done on past fires to locate, mark, and improve escape routes.Will posting more lookouts give adequate warning? Talk about situations where there was more than one firefighter assigned to be a lookout.To reduce the risks, consider other tactics that will allow you to be in a safer location. Review fires where you have had to change tactics because escape to safety zones was not adequate.Resources:Incident Response Pocket Guide (IRPG), PMS 461 HYPERLINK "" Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations (Red Book)10 Standard Firefighting Orders, PMS 11010 and 18 Poster, PMS 110-1818 Watch Out Situations, PMS 118 Have an idea?
