Wildland Fires - Florida (May - July 1998)
The entire state of Florida was ravaged by an unprecedented series of wildland and urban interface fires during the period from late-May to mid-July, 1998. The total response to these fires, combining local, state and federal resources, may be the largest ever assembled in the United States. The magnitude and complexity of the operations seriously challenged the capacity of existing incident management systems.
