U.S. Wildfire Map

Data comes from NASA EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker), which curates significant wildfire events across the United States from the past year.
NASA EONET tracks significant U.S. wildfire events with detailed reports including event duration, affected area in acres, and precise geographic coordinates.
Emissions context: U.S. wildfires release large amounts of CO₂ — in severe years like 2020 and 2021, western fires alone emitted hundreds of millions of tonnes. Net climate impact depends on regrowth, fuel type, and burn intensity.
