About this data
Wildfire incidents come from the National Interagency Fire Center (WFIGS), checked every 30 minutes; we list wildfires that are not yet reported contained. Sizes and containment are as reported by the managing agency and may lag behind local updates. Satellite fire detections come from NASA FIRMS (VIIRS on NOAA-20 and NOAA-21). A detection is a hot spot seen from space in the last 24 hours, not a confirmed wildfire: it can be a prescribed burn, a farm fire or an industrial heat source. We acknowledge the use of data from NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS). Evacuation orders come only from local officials.
