Nevada wildfire map today
Active wildfires in Nevada right now, the share of Nevada homes in the wildland-urban interface, and where to find official information. In a typical year, wildfire activity in Nevada builds through the early summer and into July, with the mountain ranges of eastern Nevada often the most active. 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 45% of Nevada’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 571,000 of 1.3 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 32% in Las Vegas’s Clark County to about 97% in Carson City.
The five Nevada counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Clark County
- Washoe County
- Carson City
- Lyon County
- Douglas 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.
