US Wildfire Map

About US Wildfire Map

US Wildfire Map renders live US wildfire, smoke, and air-quality data from primary government feeds — NIFC WFIGS, NASA FIRMS, NOAA HMS, and EPA AirNow — with honest, per-datum provenance.

Those feeds power a live national wildfire map and a satellite wildfire smoke map. They also drive an air quality map and an annual US wildfire statistics record — every figure stamped with its own source and “as of” time.

Three independent government feeds — satellite heat detections, fire perimeters, and smoke — compose into one live national map.

Provenance

Every figure traces to a verified primary source. Missing data is disclosed, never invented; computed values are labeled; satellite detections are labeled as heat detections, not confirmed fires; smoke is atmospheric-column analysis, not a ground reading. See data sources & methodology.

A fire record moves discovered → active → contained → historical, and is never marked “extinguished” — it persists as a dated record.

Not an official government service. Informational only — in an emergency, call 911.
