Mississippi Active Fire Map
Every wildfire burning across Mississippi right now on one fast map — live NIFC incidents, NWS Red Flag Warnings, NASA satellite hotspots, smoke, and air quality. Check any Mississippi home's wildfire risk — free.
Data from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC)
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Aug 22, 9:54 PM PDT — 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 Mississippi: what to know
Mississippi's wildfires are most active in fall and late winter, when dry spells cure the piney woods of the south and central regions; the state Forestry Commission runs year-round suppression and drought-driven burn bans.
Fire risk isn't the same everywhere in Mississippi — it varies street to street with terrain, vegetation, and how a home is built. The live map shows what’s burning today; your Mississippi fire risk map and your address's 0–100 score show what you face year-round.

Mississippi fire map FAQ
How many wildfires are burning in Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi?
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 Mississippi 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.
