RESOURCES
SUMMARY:
 

Moisture, in the form of pricipitation and higher relative humidity, continues to move through the Area (today, tomorrow, or next 7 days) keeping fuel conditions less receptive to fire.  As a result, demand for National and Geo Area resources remains low.  Primary mobilization to date has been in southern / central Arizona (ADC, TDC, PHC) and southern New Mexico (ADC, SDC) dispatch areas.  For today, expect continued low to moderate resource demand potential throughout the Area.
