Active fires in Colorado
No satellite fire detections were assigned to Colorado in the last 48 h. Across United States there are 576 fire clusters right now. A quiet satellite picture covers passes only: small fires and fires under cloud or thick smoke may be missed, and a new fire can start between passes.
Fires are assigned to the state of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can show under the neighbouring state.
Official fire information and evacuations
GodsView shows satellite detections only, not fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Follow orders from local authorities.
InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents; in this state also check the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.
About this fire map
Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
