Live fire map of Argentina
Live fire map of Argentina
Live wildfire map for Argentina, updated continuously from NASA satellite hotspot detections. See where fires are burning right now, how intense they are, and the fire-danger level in each province — with a dedicated page for every significant fire and a day-by-day archive of the whole season. Click any province for its local fire map.
⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS. They are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, agricultural burning) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official sources.

About this fire map
Fire Map Today shows wildfires across Argentina in one live view, built from NASA satellite heat detections. Nearby detections of the same fire are grouped into a single fire event with its own page, and every day is archived so you can look back over the season. It republishes public data and is not an official warning service.
How this map works
Zoom out for the national picture; zoom in and the individual satellite detections appear. Fires are shaded by intensity and each region is coloured by its fire-danger level. Satellites pass several times a day and cannot see through thick cloud or smoke, so a real fire can be missed for hours and some heat sources are not wildfires — always check official sources.
Where the data comes from
Active-fire detections come from NASA FIRMS (VIIRS and MODIS sensors). The National Fire Management Service (SNMF) is the official reference. The fire-danger level is a fire-weather index modelled from live weather via Open-Meteo. Province borders are official boundaries. In an emergency call 100 (fire brigade) and follow Civil Defence.

Staying safe near wildfires
If you are near an active fire, do not rely on this map for safety decisions — satellite detections can be delayed for hours by cloud, smoke or the timing of the satellite pass, and some heat sources are not wildfires. Always follow your official emergency service and local warnings, prepare an emergency plan, and leave early if you are in a high fire-danger area. This is a free public information service, not an emergency-alerting system.
Fire season in Argentina
Argentina has several seasons depending on the region. In the northwest and the Chaco, fire concentrates between August and November at the end of the dry season. In the Pampas, grassland and stubble burn in spring and summer. In Andean Patagonia the season runs December to March, and persistent wind makes native-forest fires hard to contain. In years when the Paraná runs low, the delta wetlands can burn for weeks.

Highlighted months are the peak of the season.
| Area | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Northwest and Chaco | Ago–Nov | End of the long dry season, before the summer rains. |
| Pampas | Sep–Feb | Dry grassland and stubble in spring and summer. |
| Paraná delta | Jul–Oct | In low-water years, island and wetland fire burns for weeks. |
| Andean Patagonia | Dic–Mar | Mature native forest and persistent wind. |
