(lined all the way around)
131
partly contained
(crews still on the edge)
252

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.

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.
