Checking for wildfires in your area

When smoke is in the air or you’ve heard about a fire nearby, the first question is simple: how close is it to me? FireRisk answers that with your live location and the official feeds — the same data emergency managers and journalists rely on. You’ll see the nearest active wildfire, how far away and how large it is, whether it’s being contained, and any active Red Flag Warnings or evacuation-type alerts for your area.

For live, on-the-ground evacuation information, also follow your county emergency management, local news, and apps like Watch Duty. In any emergency, call 911.

Wildfires near me — FAQ

How do I see wildfires near me right now?

Tap “Use my location” (or enter an address) and FireRisk shows the active wildfires and fire-weather warnings around that spot, drawn from official NWS and NIFC feeds, on a live interactive map.

Where does the wildfire data come from?

Active fire locations and perimeters come from NIFC (the National Interagency Fire Center); fire-weather warnings such as Red Flag Warnings come from the National Weather Service. FireRisk does not generate its own fire reports.

Is this an emergency or evacuation service?

No. FireRisk is an awareness tool. Data can be delayed or incomplete and conditions change quickly. Always follow your local fire authorities and call 911 in an emergency.

Can I get alerted when a fire starts near me?

Yes — free. Turn on FireRisk alerts for your address and you’ll get an email or push notification the moment a new wildfire is reported nearby or a Red Flag Warning is issued for your area.
