Wildfire Tracker
Right now, 115 active wildfires are burning across the U.S. — about 374K acres in total, with 1 states under fire-weather alerts. Live from official NIFC & NWS data.
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Nov 7, 9:05 AM PST — 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.
