Wildfire Maps

In California, the fire season generally starts in June or July and runs through October or November. Currently there are many fires burning in California and in many other parts of the United States (and all over the world for that matter). If you’d like to visualize wildfires on a map, you have several options.

CAL FIRE displays current wildfire information in the state of California. There are options to display recent perimeters, active air assets, and other options.


Google Maps can display wildfire information if you click on Layers > More > Wildfires.


MSN Weather Map also has a map with a dedicated Fire Information layer.


All screenshots were taken within the last hour, so you can compare and contrast the available information and visual presentation. Be safe out there!
