Delaware Active Fire Map
Every wildfire burning across Delaware right now on one fast map — live NIFC incidents, NWS Red Flag Warnings, NASA satellite hotspots, smoke, and air quality. Check any Delaware home's wildfire risk — free.
Data from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC)
Fire locations come from NIFC — 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 — 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 © Mapbox © OpenStreetMap.

Wildfire in Delaware: what to know
Delaware's wildfire hazard is modest — spring brush fires in the coastal plain and the pine and scrub of the state's south — with wildfire smoke and air-quality days the more common statewide impact in recent summers.
Fire risk isn't the same everywhere in Delaware — it varies street to street with terrain, vegetation, and how a home is built. The live map shows what’s burning today; your Delaware fire risk map and your address's 0–100 score show what you face year-round.

Delaware fire map FAQ
How many wildfires are burning in Delaware right now?
The map and the "active wildfires" list above pull uncontained wildfires directly from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). The count changes as fires start, grow, and are contained.
What does the Delaware fire map show?
Live wildfire incidents reported to NIFC (the flame markers), plus optional layers you can toggle on: NOAA's smoke forecast, live air quality (AQI), and — in California — ALERTCalifornia wildfire cameras. Active NWS Red Flag Warnings are listed alongside the map.
What is a Red Flag Warning in Delaware?
A Red Flag Warning is issued by the National Weather Service when warm temperatures, very low humidity, and strong winds combine to create critical fire-weather. Any new fire can spread explosively. We show active warnings above, live from the NWS.
Is this Delaware fire map live, and can I rely on it for evacuations?
The map re-checks official feeds each time you load the page; the feeds themselves update on agency schedules — incidents typically several times a day, perimeters about daily. But it is for awareness only — not an evacuation source. For evacuation orders, follow your local fire authority, Genasys Protect, and 911.
