Wildfire season in Indiana
Wildfires across Indiana peak in spring before the trees leaf out, and again in autumn after leaf fall, when cured grass and leaf litter dry quickly. Higher temperatures, low humidity and wind make fires start and spread faster — check the fire-danger level before lighting any fire or working outdoors.
What the Indiana fire map shows
Every fire on this page is an automatic heat detection from NASA satellites (VIIRS and MODIS), grouped into fire events and updated continuously; where official national sources publish data, it is shown alongside. Indiana groups 92 counties; open any of them for its local map. Satellite detections are not verified on the ground — never use them for safety decisions, and always follow the emergency services (call 911).

⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS, augmented with official NIFC / WFIGS incidents where available. Satellite detections are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, prescribed burns) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official sources.
