Wildfire Aware App

> 500: Fires with the largest number of assigned personnel often require larger incident management team involvement.

50-500: Greater complexity requires a higher number of personnel and potentially an incident management team.

1-50: This number of personnel could indicate a smaller, less complex incident or one that is nearing the end of its primary response efforts.

Not Reported: New fires, smaller fires that are easier to contain, or fires that are near the end of their life cycle may not report the number of ‘personnel assigned’. This should in no way be taken as an indication that the fire is unstaffed or otherwise receiving no response.

Prescribed Fire: These fires are intentional and planned events.
