Fire risk isn’t the same everywhere in New Mexico — it varies street to street with terrain, vegetation, and how a home is built. The live map shows what’s burning today; your New Mexico fire risk map and your address’s 0–100 score show what you face year-round.
New Mexico’s fire activity is also reshaping insurance here: high-hazard New Mexico homes face rising premiums; documented mitigation is increasingly important to obtaining and keeping coverage. See the New Mexico fire insurance guide for carrier appetite, the FAIR Plan, and how mitigation lowers your premium.

New Mexico fire map FAQ
How many wildfires are burning in New Mexico right now?
The live map and the "active wildfires" list above pull uncontained wildfires directly from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), updated continuously. The count changes through the day as fires start, grow, and are contained.
What are the orange dots on the New Mexico fire map?
Those are thermal hotspots — heat signatures detected by NASA's VIIRS satellites, refreshed several times a day. They often reveal new or fast-growing fire activity before a formal incident is reported, but a hotspot can also be a prescribed burn or industrial heat source.
What is a Red Flag Warning in New Mexico?
A Red Flag Warning is issued by the National Weather Service when warm temperatures, very low humidity, and strong winds combine to create critical fire-weather. Any new fire can spread explosively. We show active warnings above, live from the NWS.
Is this New Mexico fire map live, and can I rely on it for evacuations?
The map and data refresh from official feeds each time you load the page. But it is for awareness only — not an evacuation source. For evacuation orders, follow Watch Duty, your local fire authority, and 911.
