Florida Wildfire Map — Live Fires & Containment
The federal wildfire feed currently lists 15 wildfires in Florida (5 active, 10 contained), covering about 70,896 acres. The largest is the National Fire at 35,027 acres, 100% contained, in Collier County.
Active wildfires in Florida right now, the share of Florida homes in the wildland-urban interface, and where to find official information. Florida’s fire season runs on a different calendar from the West’s: in a typical year, activity builds through the dry season from late winter into spring, peaks between March and May, and eases once the daily summer rains set in around June — a drought stretches it in both directions. The list and counts come from the federal wildfire feed; the WUI figures come from the SILVIS Lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The active-fire data refreshes every 15 minutes.

Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 26% of Florida’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 2.6 million of 9.9 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: about 6% of homes in Miami-Dade County, about 20% in Orlando’s Orange County, and about 48% in Volusia County, around Daytona Beach.
The five Florida counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Lee County
- Volusia County
- Hillsborough County
- Orange County
- Duval County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
