“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 — click 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.
