Live NIFC data ยท re-checked every few minutes; agencies update records several times a day to daily
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Sep 23, 5:04 PM PDT โ you're seeing the newest official data there is: we pull the federal fire feeds every few minutes, as soon as agencies publish. Just know each flame marks where a fire was reported, not where its edge is right now โ real fires spread, markers don't move, and details like acres update a few times a day, not in real time. In an emergency, always follow the official orders from your local authorities. Basemap ยฉ Mapbox ยฉ OpenStreetMap.

Is this active fire map live?
Yes โ it pulls the latest data from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) each time you load it. The records themselves are not real time: agencies update each incident irregularly (typically several times a day, sometimes about daily) and mapped perimeters about daily, so a fire's actual edge can be ahead of what the map shows. For official evacuation orders, follow your county emergency management office, Genasys Protect, and 911.
What's the difference between a fire map and a fire risk map?
A fire map shows what's burning right now. A fire risk map shows how prone a place is to wildfire over time, regardless of current fires. FireRisk.ai does both โ see the live map here, or check any address for its 0โ100 risk score.
Are these all the wildfires in the U.S.?
The map shows incidents reported to NIFC's interagency feed, which covers the large and significant fires fire agencies are tracking. Very small or brand-new local fires may not appear immediately โ your local fire authority is the first source for those.
