Boston National Historical Park (MA)
Convention Kicks Off In Boston
Boston National Historical Park hosted three Democratic National
Convention delegate parties in the Charlestown Navy Yard on Sunday, July
25th. Delegates from Nevada, New Jersey and South Dakota attended
receptions at the USS Constitution Museum, Pier 1 and the historic 1805
Commandant's House, and were led on special tours of USS Constitution by
Navy sailors. Security was tight and there were no reported incidents
during the receptions. National Park Service law enforcement rangers did
make one arrest on Sunday when a 50 year-old woman attempted to ignite a
fire with a cigarette lighter outside the Old South Meeting House. The
park will continue to host CNN at the Charlestown Navy Yard for the
duration of the convention. The program Crossfire will originate in the
park today at 4:30 p.m.
EDT.

National Fire Situation Highlights — Monday, July 26, 2004
Preparedness Level 3
Initial attack was moderate yesterday in the Great Basin and Northwest, but light elsewhere. Only five of the 276 new fires escaped initial attack.
Very high to extreme fire indices were reported in Alaska, Arizona, California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Weather Forecast
An upper trough moving into the Pacific Northwest will bring dry and somewhat cooler weather along with gusty winds east of the Cascades. A strong upper high
remains centered over Southern California with the axis of the ridge extending into Montana. Hot weather will continue over Southern California, while drier conditions and gusty winds develop over western Nevada. Thunderstorms will be found over Montana and the Eastern Great Basin, Rocky Mountain and Southwest Areas. In Alaska, a south flow over the area will bring gusty winds and low humidity to portions of the central interior and north slopes of the Alaska Range.
Warnings and Watches
A RED FLAG WARNING has been issued for strong winds over portions of Alaska's central interior and the north slopes of the Alaska range.
