Our latest fuel moisture sampling provides an important look at what is happening in our forests. What Does 7% Fuel Moisture Mean? A brief rainstorm may wet the surface, but it does very little to put meaningful moisture back into these large fuels. Our agencies are coordinating daily, monitoring weather and fuel conditions, and maintaining the resources necessary to respond quickly to new wildfire starts. Every acre treated today provides another opportunity to reduce future wildfire intensity and improve the resilience of our communities.
