MATHEWS Fire FAQ
What do the evacuation zones on the MATHEWS Fire map mean?
Evacuation zones are typically color-coded by urgency: Evacuation Order (leave now β immediate danger), Evacuation Warning (be ready to leave at a moment's notice), and Advisory (monitor conditions). Zone boundaries are set by your county sheriff or local fire authority β always follow their instructions over any map. Check the evacuation tab for current zone status.
How current is the MATHEWS Fire map and data on this page?
The live map and headline figures (acres, containment) are pulled from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) WFIGS feed, which fire agencies update throughout the day. Perimeter boundaries typically lag the actual fire edge by several hours, and NIFC updates are not continuous β check local fire authority channels for the most time-sensitive information.
How do I get free alerts if the MATHEWS Fire or fires near me grow?
Use the alert signup on this page to get free email notifications when active fires are reported near an address you choose, when a Red Flag Warning is issued for your area, or when a fire you're tracking changes significantly. No account required β just an email address.
