Fires in the United Kingdom

Choose UK view to focus on England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Click any red area for its location, first-mapped date and estimated size.

The map is best for larger fires. Small or very recent incidents may not appear straight away, so an empty map does not guarantee there are no local fires.

How to use the map

Scroll or use the + and − buttons to zoom. Click a red or orange area to see more about it.

The layers button lets you add named fire reports, possible heat spots and today's fire risk. Heat spots are not always wildfires. If you are near a fire, follow advice from the local emergency services.

About this map

Recent fire areas and fire risk come from Europe's official forest fire service. Optional heat information comes from NASA satellites.
