Live Boise Fire Map & Tracker
A live Boise fire map and tracker — active wildfires across the Boise Foothills, the surrounding rangeland, and the Boise National Forest, with perimeters from NIFC, Red Flag Warnings, and the fires nearest you.
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Sep 22, 6:07 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.
Active wildfires burning within 40 miles of Boise — from official NIFC incident reports, typically updated 1–2× daily by field teams.

Why Boise (Boise / Treasure Valley) sees major wildfires
Boise’s fire risk runs from the sagebrush and cheatgrass of the Foothills and surrounding rangeland — which carry fast, wind-driven fires right to the edge of neighborhoods — up into the timbered Boise National Forest. Invasive grasses have made range fires larger and more frequent.
The 2016 Table Rock Fire burned into the Boise Foothills above downtown, destroying a home and prompting evacuations; large rangeland fires across the Snake River Plain threaten the Treasure Valley most summers.

What wildfires are burning near Boise right now?
The live map and list on this page show wildfires currently reported near Boise to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), refreshed each time you load the page. Use "fires near me" to center it on your exact neighborhood.
Is Boise under a Red Flag Warning?
When the National Weather Service posts a Red Flag Warning for the Boise area, it means critical fire-weather — typically Santa Ana winds plus low humidity — where any new fire can spread fast. This page reflects active fire-weather alerts for the region.

Is this an official Boise emergency map?
No. FireRisk is an awareness tool built on official NIFC and NWS data — it complements but never replaces Boise's official alerts, local fire authorities, and 911.
Awareness only — built on official NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) data, which can lag real conditions. For Boise evacuation orders follow Boise Fire Department, your county emergency management, and call 911 in an emergency.
