Wyoming Wildfire Map & Tracker
Track active wildfires across Wyoming in real time. WildFire-Ready maps active fires, perimeters, evacuation alerts, smoke and air quality, and fire bans, drawn from National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), National Weather Service, InciWeb, and NASA FIRMS, updated continuously.
What causes wildfires in Wyoming
Wyoming wildfires are driven by both lightning and human activity, with lightning common in the mountain forests and human starts frequent across the rangelands and near roads. The state's mountain conifer forests, sagebrush rangeland, and dry grasslands all carry fire under the right conditions. High winds, low humidity, and dry summer fuels can spread fast-moving fires across open country and into the timber.
Wyoming fire season
Wyoming's wildfire season runs through the warm, dry months of summer and early fall, affecting both mountain forests and open rangeland. Lightning is a frequent ignition source across the state.
Wyoming's wildfire season generally runs from summer into early fall, with the highest risk in the hot, dry weeks of mid to late summer. Wind-driven grass fires can also occur in dry spring and fall conditions. Activity tends to ease as cooler, wetter weather returns.
How to read the Wyoming map
Flame markers show active fires reported by official agencies, and tapping one shows its status and details. Fire perimeters and evacuation zones appear as local emergency management issues them across Wyoming, and you can add smoke and air-quality layers. Check current fire restrictions before any outdoor fire.
We keep the Wyoming map current so you can check what is burning, watch a fire near you, and see evacuation alerts and air quality in one place. Coverage is part of WildFire-Ready across Western Canada and 18 western US states, serving more than 130 million people, with the deepest coverage in British Columbia and Alberta.
