Idaho Wildfires & Fire Map

The U.S. government is tracking 38 wildfires in Idaho today. Together they cover about 216K acres (roughly 163,000 football fields), spread across the state. Only 10 are 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)
18
partly contained
(crews still on the edge)
19
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.
