Inciweb Nevada Fires Near Me
Nevada hasn’t been hit by fires in the last few days quite as hard as other states, such as Colorado and California. But there are still a number of wildfires that you will want to keep an eye on. A total of 41,980 acres are currently burning in Nevada.
Here are details about Nevada fires, from sources including NIFC. You can see a beautiful, interactive current fires map from Nevada Wildfire Information here. The Nevada Division of Forestry also provides an interactive map here. Fire information is always changing, so check with your local news or government for new information about evacuations and changes.
With #GOES16 we have a product that can help us see fires. Take a look at this satellite loop from today showing the 4 active fires currently going on in Nevada. #NVwx #MartinFire #EchoFire #HoganFire #BooneSpringsFire
