WFCA Fire Map

The Western Fire Chiefs Association's Fire Map depicts active and recent wildland fires in the western United States and Alaska. The Fire Map draws near real-time 911 dispatch call data from PulsePoint.

Emerging and ongoing wildland fire location and boundary data are provided by the National Interagency Fire Center IRWIN feeds. FIRIS (California only) provides early fire perimeter and 3-hour forecasting models. Fire dispatch and location data are approximate, and no representation or warranty is given as to the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of the data.
