60 acres burning in Campbell County, Wyoming · containment being assessed. Live map, evacuation orders, smoke & air quality — straight from NIFC, the National Weather Service, and NASA, updated daily by field teams. Free alerts, no signup.
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Aug 20, 4:47 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.

Soft Water Fire FAQ
What do the evacuation zones on the Soft Water Fire map mean?
Evacuation zones are typically color-coded by urgency: Evacuation Order (leave now — 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 — always follow their instructions over any map. Check the evacuation tab for current zone status.
How current is the Soft Water 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 are GIS mapping snapshots typically updated about once a day, and the actual fire edge is always ahead of the mapped line; NIFC updates are not continuous — check local fire authority channels for the most time-sensitive information.
