THE AMERICAN FIRE LEDGER — PREPAREDNESS LEVEL 3 AND 32 UNCONTAINED LARGE FIRES, AT A SEP-21 STAMP
PL 3 — preparedness level 3 — with 32 uncontained large fires of 33 total across 12 states, Washington leading with 8. The report carries a Sep-21 stamp and no Sep-22 issue has been published, so it is printed at its vintage. The count moved from the 50 cited on Sep 21 because large-fire accounting fluctuates as incidents consolidate or are contained — that is a bookkeeping change, not a collapse in fire activity, and red flag warnings stand at zero on the live alert feed.
