Wyoming wildfire map today

Active wildfires in Wyoming right now, the share of Wyoming homes in the wildland-urban interface, and where to find official information. In a typical year, wildfire activity in Wyoming peaks from mid- to late summer, once the high plains and mountain forests have dried through the warm months. 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 80% of Wyoming’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 218,000 of 272,000 statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. Wyoming’s share is among the highest of any state, and it stays high even in the counties with the most homes: from about 81% in Campbell County to about 97% in Sweetwater County.

The five Wyoming counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:

  • Laramie Countyabout 36,000 homes
  • Natrona Countyabout 34,000 homes
  • Sweetwater Countyabout 19,000 homes
  • Albany Countyabout 17,000 homes
  • Campbell Countyabout 16,000 homes

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.
