Fire Outlook: 2007 Wildfire Season Looks Wicked
Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 Catastrophe PropertyFire scientists are predicting an above-average wildfire season from May through August 2007, according to the National Interagency Fire Center Predictive Services Group based in Boise, Idaho. In its "National Wildland Fire Outlook," released May 1, the group said "significant fire potential is expected to be higher than normal across much of the Southwest and California, portions of the Great Basin, Northern Rockies, Northwest, Alaska and the Southeast." With seemingly most of the country susceptible to significant wildfires, just a small portion of the Southwest faced predictions of below normal fire potential.
