Know Before You Go!

Our interactive wildfire and fire restriction map provides real-time information about current fire restrictions and wildfire activity in Arizona and New Mexico. Fire restrictions, implemented during the summer months based on dry conditions, are categorized into stages, each specifying different prohibitions on public lands. These stages and prohibitions vary by location and are lifted after significant rainfall. Our map, updated frequently with data from the National Interagency Fire Center, NASA, and Arizona Fire and Forestry Management, offers a comprehensive view of these restrictions to help you plan and stay safe.

Wildfires, both natural and human-caused, are a frequent occurrence during the Arizona wildfire season, leading to necessary forest closures. These closures enable wildland firefighters to manage and contain fires effectively. Our map allows you to track these closures and understand where firefighting efforts are concentrated. Please remember that the information on the map, while sourced from reliable state and federal agencies, should be independently verified for accuracy.
