Alabama Wildfires & Fire Map

The U.S. government is tracking 2 wildfires in Alabama today. Together they cover about 1,752 acres (roughly 1,000 football fields), spread across the state. Only 1 is large (1,000+ acres); the rest are small or brand-new. "Tracked" means officials are watching them, not that they're out of control. Here's where they stand:

1
fully contained
(lined all the way around)
1
partly contained
(crews still on the edge)
0
too new to rate
(mostly small & new)

A daily overview, not a live emergency map. If you're near a fire, use Watch Duty and your local officials for live updates and evacuations.

“Contained” is how much of a fire's edge crews have boxed in. 100% means they have a line all the way around it. A fire at 0% is usually new or still being sized up, not out of control. Biggest first — tap any fire for the map, weather, and details.

Official data from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the U.S. government's wildfire tracker. We refresh it daily. Brand-new small fires can take a day or two to show up here.
