Wildfires (Current)

Description

An overlay mapping areas affected by currently burning fires throughout the U.S. and Canada, enhanced with real-time satellite-based hotspot detections from NASA's MODIS and VIIRS instruments. Fire perimeter data is updated daily from NIFC, Natural Resources Canada, BC Wildfire, Alberta Wildfire, and the Government of Saskatchewan. Satellite detections update several times daily and represent thermal anomalies — note that not all detections are fires; other heat sources such as flares or volcanoes may appear. Use this layer to plan reroutes, anticipate trail closures, and stay safe during wildfire season.

Warning

Fire boundaries and satellite detections may be out of date, incomplete, or incorrect. Use of this layer for any purpose is at your own risk. Trailbehind Inc (maker of Gaia GPS) is not responsible for any actions taken based on information contained in this map.
