Every Wildfire in Spain — Satellite-Mapped
Every fire Copernicus satellites have mapped across Spain, from the EU's EFFIS programme — updated every few minutes — plus fires confirmed by official regional services (Bombers, INFOCA, INFOCAM, JCyL, Xunta de Galicia).
EFFIS feed last updated: 9 Sept, 13:46 UTC
Live satellite heat seen on these fires in the last two days — unlike the weekly total above, this shows what may still be burning right now
The live map below can show a few more markers than the count above — it also includes fresh satellite heat detections fire crews haven't confirmed yet.
The newest satellite mapping available — each flame marks the centre of the detected burn area, not a live fire edge.

You’re signed up for free alerts. Here’s exactly what they cover:
A fire starts nearby
We'll email you the moment official feeds report a new wildfire close to your home.
Dangerous fire weather
We'll email you on hot, dry, windy days when fires spread fastest (officially called a 'Red Flag Warning').
A nearby fire grows fast
We'll email you if a fire near you suddenly gets bigger or turns your way.

How our satellite detection works
Three independent satellite systems watch Europe for heat. Here is how a detection becomes something worth showing you.
NASA's VIIRS satellites pass over several times a day, Europe's Meteosat rescans every 10 minutes, and Sentinel-3 adds its own independent passes. Different orbits, different sensors — none relies on the others.
One satellite seeing heat can be a glitch, sun glare, or a factory roof. When independent systems see heat in the same place, the signal is much stronger — one system's mistake never becomes your alert.
Each detection is checked against what sits under it (forest, farmland, industry) and how it behaves over time, then labelled plainly: likely vegetation fire, possible fire / unverified heat, or a known static heat source that is not a fire. Only a fire service can confirm a wildfire.
On the map, tracked heat becomes a shape — the satellite-detected heat extent — with plain words on it, and whether the detections are expanding. Shapes show where satellites see heat, not exact fire boundaries.
English narration · under 60 seconds
Likely and possible fires are inferred from satellite thermal detections and environmental data. They may not represent confirmed wildfires or exact fire boundaries. Always follow official emergency authorities and evacuation instructions.

Spain wildfires — FAQ
Is this Spain fire map live?
It shows the newest satellite mapping available — EFFIS (the European Forest Fire Information System) re-maps fires several times a day, and we check it every few minutes. Each flame marks the centre of a satellite-detected burn area, not a live fire's edge. For emergencies, call 112.
Why don't the fires have names?
EFFIS maps fires from satellite imagery rather than agency incident reports, so records carry the nearest commune and province instead of an official fire name.
What does "hectares mapped" mean?
The burnt area satellites have detected so far for that fire — updated as new passes come in. It is a satellite measurement, not an agency estimate, and fires under a few hectares may not appear.
Can I get FireRisk alerts for a Spanish address?
Yes — FireRisk alerts now cover Spain, built on the EU's own EFFIS/Copernicus satellite mapping, satellite heat detections, and official fire-weather warnings. Sign up with your address and you'll get email alerts when a fire is mapped near you.
