Live activity
NWS + NASAAutomated activity for this fire’s location, aggregated from official feeds. For human, on-the-ground reporting, also follow Watch Duty.
Simulate a fire spreading toward your home
Enter your address to run the wildfire spread simulator on your own property — using your home’s live wind from the National Weather Service, your terrain slope from USGS, and the real surface fuel around you from LANDFIRE. It illustrates how a wind-driven fire and its embers would tend to move toward a home.
⚠️ Educational illustration — never rely on this for safety
This is not a prediction of the Sycamore Fire’s actual path, spread, or arrival time, and it is not an evacuation tool. It is a simplified physics model that cannot account for real fuels, suppression, spotting, or minute-to-minute weather. Never make any evacuation, safety, or property decision based on this simulation. For real-time fire information and evacuation orders, follow Watch Duty, your county sheriff, and local authorities — and call 911 in an emergency.
Your address is used only to center the model — it isn’t stored.
📍 The map below is centered on the Sycamore Fire’s reported location and shows an educational illustration of how a fire there could spread under current wind. Enter your address above to recenter the model on your home. This is not the fire’s actual perimeter or forecast — see the official map above and Watch Duty for the real fire.

Reminder: this is an educational model centered on the Sycamore Fire’s reported location. Modeled spread times, directions, and ember reach are illustrative ranges only — actual fire behavior depends on fuels, moisture, terrain, structures, and suppression that change constantly. Do not rely on it for any safety or evacuation decision. The live fire location is on the official map above; for real-time information and evacuation orders, follow Watch Duty and local authorities — call 911 in an emergency.
