Wildfires in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is a state of the United States — shortgrass and tallgrass prairie, rangeland and cropland. This live map tracks every wildfire and satellite hotspot detected across Oklahoma, updated continuously from NASA satellite data and official national fire sources. Wildfires here come in two waves: fast-moving grass fires in late winter and spring before green-up, and again in late summer when the grass cures. Its capital is Oklahoma City. Other main centres include Tulsa and Norman.

Wildfire season in Oklahoma
Wildfires across Oklahoma come in two waves: fast-moving grass fires in late winter and spring before green-up, and again in late summer when the grass cures. 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 Oklahoma 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. Oklahoma groups 77 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.
