Live fire map of Turkey
Live fire map of Turkey
Live wildfire map for Türkiye, updated continuously from NASA satellite hotspot detections and Copernicus EFFIS data. The season runs from June to October and is most intense in the Turkish red pine belt along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, where hot, windy days can turn a single ignition into a major forest fire within hours. See where fires are burning right now, how intense they are and the danger level in each province, with a page for every significant fire and a day-by-day archive.
⚠️ 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, gas flares, sun glint) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official emergency sources.

About this fire map
Fire Map Today shows wildfires across Türkiye in one live view, built from NASA satellite heat detections and Copernicus EFFIS data. 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 — the General Directorate of Forestry (OGM) and AFAD remain the authorities.
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). Burnt-area perimeters and the Fire Weather Index come from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) / Copernicus, and province borders from Eurostat GISCO. In an emergency call 112; forest fires are handled by the General Directorate of Forestry (OGM), with AFAD coordinating disaster response.

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 Turkey
Türkiye’s forest fire season runs from June to October. The most exposed zone is the Turkish red pine belt along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, where a single ignition on a hot, dry, windy day can become a major forest fire within hours. In Central and Southeastern Anatolia fires are mostly steppe and post-harvest stubble; on the humid Black Sea coast they are uncommon.
