Wildfire tracker — FAQ

How many wildfires are burning in the U.S. right now?

This page shows the live count of active, uncontained wildfires from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), updated continuously. The number changes throughout the day as fires are contained and new ones are reported.

Where does this wildfire data come from?

Active fire counts, sizes, and containment come from NIFC (the National Interagency Fire Center). Fire-weather alerts such as Red Flag Warnings come from the National Weather Service. FireRisk does not generate its own fire reports.

How do I track wildfires near me specifically?

Use the “wildfires near me” tool to see the active fires and fire-weather warnings around your exact location, or set up free alerts for your address so you’re notified the moment something starts nearby.

Is this an official emergency service?

No. FireRisk is an awareness tool and the figures are official reported values that can lag real conditions. Always follow your local fire authorities and call 911 in an emergency.

Awareness only — figures are official reported values from NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) and can lag real conditions. Always follow your local fire authorities and call 911 in an emergency.
