Active wildfires today
Hotspots come from NASA FIRMS, which publishes VIIRS detections after each satellite pass, a few hours behind the image.
A satellite hotspot is not a confirmed fire. For incidents and evacuation, follow the fire service and your local emergency agency.

How to read this page
How to read the fire-detection count
United States has 1,712 fire detections from satellite in this page’s window; the count rises and falls with satellite passes, it isn’t continuous.
Where this data comes from
Satellite fire detections from NASA’s FIRMS, with low/medium/high confidence per point.
What detection doesn’t tell you
Dense smoke or cloud hide active fires from the satellite; a low count can mean an unseen fire, not an absent one.
Words on this page
FRP (fire radiative power)
The energy released by a fire detection, in megawatts, measured by satellite from the infrared brightness of the burn. A higher FRP means a more intense fire in that satellite pixel, not necessarily a bigger one: a small, very hot fire can outscore a large, weak one.
Standard definition by NASA FIRMS — Fire Information for Resource Management System · FRP (fire radiative power)
Preliminary data
A measurement published as soon as it is collected, before the agency’s final review. It can be corrected or withdrawn: earthquake magnitudes shift in the first hours, air-quality readings are revised weeks later. Use it to plan your day, not for regulatory or legal purposes.

How to read these numbers
Each point is a pixel of about 375 metres where the satellite saw a temperature far above its surroundings. It can be a wildfire, an agricultural burn, a gas flare or even a very hot metal roof, which is why each detection carries a confidence level.
The daily count swings with satellite overpasses and cloud: thick smoke and low cloud hide hotspots. A drop from one day to the next does not necessarily mean the fire is receding.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a fire near me?
- Pick your region from the list. Each page shows the past 24 hours of hotspots inside that region’s coordinate box, with the time of every detection.
- What is FRP?
- Fire radiative power, in megawatts: an estimate of the energy released at the moment of the image. A high value means intense fire, not necessarily a large area.
- Why is there a hotspot where there is no forest?
- Kilns, gas flares and waste burning also heat the pixel. That is why the data is indicative and comes with low, nominal or high confidence.
