INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1999 - 0800 MST
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II

CURRENT SITUATION:

Moderate initial attack activity and new large fires were reported in the
Southern Area.  Containment objectives on large fires were met in the
Southern Area and demobilization of resources continues. 


SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES: 

EAST DISTRICT COMPLEX, Kentucky Division of Forestry.  A Type I Incident
Management Team (Humphrey) is assigned and is operating under Unified
Command with Kentucky Division of Forestry (Dalton).  The team is managing
17 wildfires and providing initial attack resources for six counties. 
Steep terrain, urban interface and limited radio communications are
hampering containment objectives. 

MARSH, West Texas Counties.  This fire is seven miles northwest of
Amarillo, Texas.  Rough terrain, low humidities, and high winds are
hindering containment. 

CITICO, Cherokee National Forest.  A Type II Incident Management Team
(Kearney)is assigned.  Good progress was made on fireline construction and
burn out operations.
