### National Overview
As of April 24, 2025, the United States is experiencing an active wildfire season, with several significant fires burning across the country. Since January 1, 2025, a total of 19,512 wildfires have burned 881,249 acres, exceeding the ten-year averages for both the number of wildfires and the acres burned[4].

### Significant Wildfire Situations
- **New Jersey**: A major wildfire in central New Jersey has been burning for the third consecutive day. The fire has consumed approximately 13,250 acres and is currently 50% contained. Despite significant progress by firefighters, the blaze remains active and is expected to continue until predicted rain arrives this weekend. The fire has forced the evacuation of around 5,000 residents in Lacey and Ocean Townships, although many have been allowed to return to their homes. The fire has damaged several properties, including a commercial building, but no injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation[2][5].

### Firefighting Efforts
Firefighters are actively engaged in combating the wildfires, particularly in New Jersey where they have managed to contain 50% of the blaze. Efforts are ongoing to bring the fire under full control, with a focus on preventing further spread until the anticipated rain provides relief. Local and state authorities are coordinating evacuation orders and ensuring public safety[2][5].

### Weather and Fire Conditions
The current weather conditions are contributing to the ongoing wildfire risks. In New Jersey, the fire is expected to continue growing due to dry conditions until rain is forecasted to arrive this weekend. Additionally, the smoke from the New Jersey wildfire has prompted air quality alerts in nearby areas, including New York City[5].

Overall, the situation remains dynamic, with ongoing efforts to manage and contain the fires, and a close eye on weather conditions that could either exacerbate or alleviate the situation.

CAKNF 2025 Klamath NF Spring Prescribed Burning
Last updated: 2025-05-21 --- The type of incident is Prescribed Fire and involves the following unit(s) Klamath National Forest. --- State: California --- Coordinates: Latitude: 41° 45 09.8 Longitude: 122° 47 44.8 --- NOTE: All fire perimeters and points are approximations. --- Incident Overview: The Klamath is preparing to implement several prescribed burns this spring. Prescribed burning is an important land management tool for the ecosystems in and around the Klamath, which evolved with frequent fire events. Prescribed fire is used by fire managers to reduce surface and ladder fuels by introducing low intensity fire into an area under a predetermined set of weather and fuel conditions. Reducing fuels through prescribed burning can decrease fire behavior when wildfires occur. That reduction in fire behavior can, in turn, lessen the risk to communities, infrastructure, natural resources, and habitat. Additional benefits of prescribed fire include improvement of overall forest health and increased resilience of wildlands to future wildfires.Implementation of these prescribed burns is dependent on the onset of specific fuels and weather conditions, as well as resource availability.
